Heads up!!

My fellow Cardiffians and Gracelanders,

I come in peace. I am about to board a large shiny aluminium tube and go sailing through the air for hours on end whilst staring out the window until I arrive in that fabled Land of Sing-Song and Brain’s Dark. Whenceforth I shall be descending upon Greenbelt for a bit of a knees up and whatever else happens at one of your fabulous Christian arts and music festivals. Yes all the way from Wonderful Windang (which is a bit like Treco Bay, only 100 times better, and with the added benefit of sun… and surf) via Korea to Wales and Greenbelt – the last bit in the back of Ed’s car.

Looking forward to catching up with The Lost of Lost in Graceland and flying an Aussie flag on the green and pleasant fields of Cheltenham Racecourse.

Oh and singing the odd hymn in the beer tent!

Rob!

PS (my wife Gail has decided that staying with relatives and catching up with the gossip and news and a warm soft bed at night is somehow more preferable than sharing a sleeping bag and a tent with me! and a field full of strange and wonderful people!!)

If you are going to Greenbelt this year, why not pop to underground of an evening.  Smudge some neon paint on your face, wrap your wrists in glowing bracelets and throw shapes with the kids.  With a live robot dancer (terms and conditions apply, all information is correct at the time of press), visuals that will bring tears to your eyes and music that will make your nose bleed.  This is potentially the night for you! (unless you are not really one for dance music in which case it’s going to be quite nice in the wine bar)

the common good

heard a few of these Reeth Lectures on Radio 4.  The guy was arguing for a society driven by more than just the market economy.  I liked what he said….

bad language!

I wrote a post on the Greenbelt blog.

It’s about bad language.

(note to self – must grow up a bit).

jesus is for losers…

…according to calamateur. and he’s scottish. i ain’t arguing.

his album, jesus is for losers, all full of covers that mention jesus somehow or other. it’s free. free. for nowt. and it’s very good.

he may not (or may) thank me for this but it’s for fans of Snow Patrol, Iain Archer and the like (so michael lock) and perhaps some other people too.

perhaps click on the pic above and go download the album. then perhaps pass it on to as many people as you can. then perhaps drop him a message to say ta or something else that’s nice.
