Dedicated to the people who work tirelessly to provide safe, inclusive festival spaces for people of all backgrounds, races, creeds and genders to enjoy original, grassroots live music.
Sometimes a line has to be drawn. It may not be popular but it is essential.
lyrics
It seemed so easy, tranquil, safe
You gave us space, provided place
To be ourselves, be with our tribe
No need to run. No need to hide
Creative, warm, away from harm
Inclusive, lively, calm
All you ask for, guarantee
Is tolerance, unity
The sand's run quick and oh so deep
The river flows, tide never sleeps
When it's too much to turn, it's time
Then in the sand you draw the line. You draw the line
Pick at the thread it starts to run
All the work could be undone
Nipped in the bud, cut before
The cancer spreads the boundaries blur
No pointless popularity
No compromise. No apathy
No flags. No hatred. Spot the signs
When it's time to draw a line
And when the season turns again
When all are gathered yes that's when
In unison, with love and cheer
We'll meet once more and without fear
Celebrate; time honoured ways
Free from prejudicial gaze
All will know the line was drawn
They shall not pass, we have sworn
It is a memory of seeing the 3 daft monkeys live at the Driftwood Spars on 27/05/21 when Mum ‘Joanie’ first moved to Cornwall. Coming off Lithium and listening to my inner voice. eloiseclark
Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious! Neil Mitchell

Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020
