Tribal Voices-Little Tribal Gathering

So much for a peaceful weekend!
After such a lovely time in Spring the crew of Tribal Voices united once more for music and knowledge sharing (sorry, I mean watching telly with our heads in the sand - no dissemination of information going on here ) @ The Holly Bush Inn, Hay On Wye.
Whilst there we heard that the largest Alternative powered gathering in the U.K, The Big Green Gathering, had been cancelled due to political reasons.
No really, we are seriously not allowed to share information in this country anymore .. Sure suits will smile and say, don't be ridiculous you uninformed little conspiracy theorist, you. And gently pat me on the arm saying not to worry my sweet little head about it - (this actually happened in The House of Commons, but that's another story ) however, its kinda weird when basic community values, like trust, safety & honour are undermined by the very people we elect to uphold community, trust and democratic rights.
((google S.O.C.P.A & find out for yourselves - don't just take my word on it!))

Anyway - here we were in a field and there were our mates evicted from their field, so we created an impromptu gathering and once security & First Aiders were in place we had ourselves our very own refugee camp.
(yes, I know its illegal to help dispossessed humans too - if this is to be used as evidence against me in a court of law, please note we didn't allow them access to fresh water, food or medical supplies - does that make it ok?)
you know wot - sometimes we've got to go on what feels right and stop trying to jump through all the boxes imposed by a fearful regime.

We ended up with love in our hearts, songs in our minds and the good feeling of knowing our friends were a little shaken&stirred but safe.
Oh -and some great music, food, chai & COFFEE was enjoyed by all.

Thanks to all who came & played - please feel free to contact us for recording space & cd's of our folklore dating back to Twyford Down or for further footage of your crews from this event -
