What makes the news... some great reporting from down the road inn south Wales
I also write about how little the floods have been covered in national newspapers, and how appalled I am that the Prime Minister has said nothing to the people of Monmouthshire directly. Please read and share. www.thenerve.news/p/storm-clau...

Not much time for writing recently, but this has been brewing for a while. How music can change the world... petelawrence.substack.com/p/music-as-a... #music #socialchange #protest #protestmusic #thisisthefire
Music as a Superpower
Music can move, inspire, connect, heal, be a source of joy, an art form, a signpost to a different world and also deliver a potent message. In short, it has all the tools to change the world.

Sultana’s first interview re new party expresses a strong opinion that the party should be called ‘The Left Party’. This would miss an opportunity for much broader appeal. What they stand for goes way beyond tired divisions left v right. Division. Let's seek the common ground.

My new crowdfunder 👉 tinyurl.com/thisisthefire I feel a strong calling for this record, which feels timely for the world we’re living in. These are songs designed for community engagement, the changes we need to be making to find hope and inspiration through connection, through finding our voices
I’m thrilled to be launching my Crowdfunder this morning. The aim is to cover the costs for ‘This is The Fire’ - my first album in 20 years and I’m hoping you can support this initiative. 👉 tinyurl.com/thisisthefire

WE WON! The Supreme Court has upheld the right to wild camp on Dartmoor. This is a huge win for access to nature. But we're just getting started. It was never just about Dartmoor. We’re fighting to extend the right to roam, swim, and sleep under the stars - across all of England.
Campout Line-Up Announcement!! This year, more than ever before, we have been inundated with brilliant and often innovative ideas for sessions at Campout which we will be highlighting here. First announcements of our programme are at campout.live
