THE WORD
IN THE YEAR …25
On we go then, burrowing our way into this new year dated 2025. I am reminded of the Zager and Evans #1 hit song of 1969, ‘In The Year 2525’? Both dates have a certain related ring to them.
This is them on the left!. The song warned of the dangers of technology, portraying a future in which the human race was destroyed by its own technological and medical innovations…
…But, back to the year 2025 and all that it has to offer us as we write and sing and stand up for a future we can all be part of!
The lively thread of our live microphone and other song and spoken word events, is set to weave its way through 2025! Check out the following pages for invigorating and inspiring live microphone events, GB Summer Arts Festival Events, a special Butler reunion gig and the first Acid on the Microphone gig for the year featuring Redwood Reider.
So, to the microphone everyone! It’s a community thing. It’s about the word and the song and the promise of our humanity. Check out the events outlined here and let’s meet up somewhere along the way.
Peace
