Save Barton Farm DaftNotSt... - 176 views - 3 months ago
A short video documenting the march held in Winchester to protest against the proposed building of 2000 houses on farmland on the edge of Winchester. It's a long story, best understood by going to www.savebartonfarm.org, but needs to be understood in the context that the land was formerly owned by Winchester College, who sold it for development to Cala Homes, so that the College could continue to 'educate' the sons of the wealthy upper class (OK - there might also be a few girls, and a few scholarships, and the kids of a few working class people) - but largely its a class thing. They don't mind sending there kids to Winchester, but they usually don't live here themselves so they don't car if they f%&ck it up for us residents.

Thanks to Rob Berry (who just happened to be busking on the High Street as the march went past) for supplying the musical background to the second half of the film. Films work so much better with music, and, as many of my regular viewers know, it's what mainly motivates me. It's really appropriate that the lyrics he's singing is "You've got to help me - I can't do this all by myself". I'm sure that's just how Gavin Blackman (the chairman of the Save Barton Farm Group) feels sometimes.

Thanks also to the lovely lady from the CPRE whose name I forget to get. Passion will out!

Sorry to all the Van the Man fans who enjoyed his 2007 concert in Glastonbury, but VAN MORRISON / POLYDOR have removed these videos. Ah well - it was only a matter of time - I suppose.
Live recorded music and musings from the Essaouira 2007 Gnaoua and World Music Festival featuring artists like the Band of Gnawa, Baaba Maal, Ray Lema, Loy Erlich, Louis Bertignac, Maalem Abdelsam Alikane, Cheik Tidiane Seck, Hoba Hoba Spirit and many, many more.

When I started, this channel was audio-only, but since May 2008, I've mainly been posting videos. Music quality however is still my key criterion.,
Country:
United Kingdom
Music:
World music, especially Gnaoua, sub-Saharan music from Mali, Senegal, Congo etc, rock, jazz, blues and some classical, so the music at the Essaouira Gnaoua and World Music Festival hits several spots, simultaneously.

I have started a blog at http://daftnotstupid.blogspot.com to record my comments on the recent Essaouira 2007 Gnaoua and World Music Festival. My first posting talks about Maalem Abdeslam Alikane playing with Tyour Gnaoua and Ray Lema (Guitar, Keyboards Congo), Adellah El Miry (Violin Morocco), Soriba Kouyate (Kora Senegal) and Cyril Atef (Drums France Iran) at the Essaouira 2007 Gnaoua and World Music Festival in June 2007.

Whether you were there or not, why not take a look and add your views too?
