‘Off Grid’

Shepton Mallet

Nr

Glastonbury

NEXT WEEK

Sunrise: Off Grid is just round the corner and we are all, of course, panicking because we forgot to book this and never thought about that and its all just suddenly hitting us once more that we have another festival to organise!!!

Since we sent the last mail out with the workshop line-up, there’s been loads of added workshop content.

Top of this list is the amazing JOHN HARRIS, of TPUC, the humble and understated maestro of the movement of freemen! John will be presenting his outstanding and important findings on the improperness of law in this land and how in fact we are ALL Free Men.

We are kinda blown away by the range of workshops and talks that are now on offer, and we are very grateful to all those who have offered these to us, pretty much all because they want to support this event in its beginnings!

Sunrise: Off Grid is held from August 20th – 23rd near Shepton Mallet, Somerset. Tickets still available to £55/£75 from Bristol Ticket Shop.

Sunrise

‘Off Grid‘

Launches

A

New

Festival Currency!

Sunrise Off Grid joins Lewes and Totnes by launching its own currency this week. The “SOL” or “Symbol of life” is to be used for trading within the festival from 20^th – 23^rd August, and is produced in association with Avalon Fair Shares.

2000 notes will be printed as an experiment in using a festival currency and to raise awareness of local currency as an economic regulator and to promote community resilience.

“Off Grid is an exploration into sustainable living, consciousness and creativity. Having our own money is a great way to raise awareness of issues surrounding money and communities” Says Dan Hurring, of Sunrise Off Grid.

There are already a number of successful local currencies in existence, most notably in the UK; the Lewes and Totnes Pounds and the Brixton Brick, initiated by the Transition Towns movement, with varying frameworks for their functioning.

Economic localisation is considered to be a key aspect of the transition process and protects the local area from national and international shocks in the financial markets, the likes of which we have experienced in recent times. Local currency systems provide the opportunity to strengthen the local economy whilst preventing money from leaking out, and can function happily along side a national currency.

The benefits of local currencies include:

1) Building resilience in the local economy by keeping money circulating in the community and building new relationships

2) Getting people thinking and talking about how they spend their money, encouraging more local trade and thus reducing food and trade miles

3) Encouraging tourists to use local businesses

4) Helping to support social and environmental businesses.

(From the Transition Totnes website: totnes.transitionnetwork.org/)

The SOL notes will be issued from the ‘Post Economix’ arena of Off Grid, and will be accepted as a valid currency by all the stalls and traders at the Off-grid Festival from 20th to 24th August 2009. As with the Totnes and Lewes Pounds, the SOL will be a legitimate ‘private’ currency, which whilst having no official value outside the festival, will, by mutual consent, be treated as roughly equivalent to £1.

There will only be a limited supply of 2,000 notes, which can be acquired in issues of 5 notes in exchange for £5 sterling at the Post Economix’s stall in the Transition Tin Shed. Attendees can also request SOL’s as part of their change from any of the Off-Grid stalls and traders.

The aim of the SOL is to promote the concept of supporting the local economy – in this case the Off-Grid stalls and traders, therefore, to ensure the flow of the currency, the notes will NOT be refundable. Off Grid advises everyone taking part in this social experiment to spend all their SOL notes by Sunday evening, (unless they are wanted as souvenirs). From 6 pm on Sunday, the stall holders and traders will not give SOLs out in change – unless they are specifically asked for.

“You hold in your hand a powerful tool for economic regeneration … Pass it round, spend it, envision the potential it embodies …” from the original Totnes Pound.

The SOL is one of the many exciting initiatives to be found at the Off Grid event, which include an Adventure School for children and teen activities as well as workshops, talks and forums on sustainable living, community and consciousness. Along side a solar cinema and music from Seize the Day, Los Albertos, Kangaroo Moon, Ten Ton Tounge and Green Angels.

Tickets for Off Grid are still available £55 low income/cons or £75 full price, Kids £20. www.sunrise-offgrid.co.uk

From our Heather Carter in Mallorca, Spain just in/

‘As you know Michael I was in Palma today and only 200 yards from where this latest occurrance took place) The area was awash with police and ambulance service within seconds of the notification) everyones very strung out down here understandably’.

Mallorca Today

Police officers entered the Nica cafeteria, located on Avenida Comte de Sallent, in the heart of Palma, to check whether the explosion was caused by accumulation of methane gas, as firefighters say, or is it the fourth device planted by ETA.

If so, it would be the fourth attack, after the three blasts that took place at different points of the Balearic capital, two restaurants located on the Portitxol promenade, The Rigoletto Italian restaurant and bar-restaurant Enco, while a third one went off in the underground shopping mall Plaza Mayor.

All occurred in the bathroom, causing light damage as they were low-strenght devices and were announced by ETA at 11:30 am hours yesterday with a call from France to Radio-Taxi Guipuzcoa.

The terrorists warned about “the placement of explosive devices in several restaurants and bars of Palma” and “to explode between noon and six in the afternoon.”

Firefighters of Palma, take charge of the investigation and affirmed that “the explosion was caused by an accumulation of methane gas in the basement.”

On the other hand, Scientific Police denied that the explosion occurred Sunday in the Nice cafeteria at 29 Conde Sallent Avenue, is attributable to a leak of methane gas, and considers the possibility that it was the fourth ETA attack.

And if it is confirmed, the bomb should have been planted days ago, for the cafeteria had been closed since Friday.

More Breaking News as we report from Heather Carter on the Island of Mallorca/

“A little more detail if you haven’t already posted – I’ll type up an in depth report later today”

EL Pais newspaper said the bomb had been left in a beach bag at the restaurant on the Can Pere Antoni beachfront of the island’s capital, Palma de Mallorca. The restaurant was evacuated after a taxi company in the Basque region received two warning phone calls from a person claiming to represent Eta. No one was injured in the explosion

MADRID —Two small bombs blamed on Basque separatist group ETA exploded Sunday in downtown locations on the Spanish resort island of Mallorca, causing no injuries, the government said. Police defused a third device found nearby.

The blasts occurred just over a week after ETA killed two police officers in Mallorca in attacks aimed at striking fear among tourists at the height of the summer holiday season.

One bomb exploded in La Rigoleta restaurant on the Can Pere Antoni beachfront in Palma de Mallorca and the second in an underground passage at the central Plaza Mayor square, the government said. Officers deactivated a bomb left at Bar Enco.

Police searched a hotel on the Mediterranean island’s popular beach-front capital, Palma de Mallorca, for a possible fourth bomb, the government said.

Earlier Sunday, ETA claimed responsibility for four other bombings this summer that killed three people — including the two police officers killed in Mallorca on July 30 — and injured dozens more.

Spain’s state-run broadcaster TVE said on its late afternoon news bulletin that one bomb that exploded was in a beach bag hidden in the ceiling of a women’s bathroom in the restaurant.

The restaurant had been evacuated following two phone calls made to a taxi company in mainland Spain’s northern Basque region, El Pais newspaper said. The caller, who said he was calling on ETA’s behalf, warned of the bombs.

Mallorca is one of Europe’s main tourist destinations. In June, about 2.6 million passengers used Mallorca airport while more than 22 million passed through it last year.

In past years, ETA has often targeted Spain’s tourist industry with small bombs during peak summer vacation months in an effort to disrupt trade and force the government to negotiate with them.

Spain has vowed to crush ETA since the group ended what it had said was a permanent cease-fire with a bombing that destroyed a Madrid airport parking garage and killed two people in 2006.

In a statement published Sunday in Basque newspaper Gara, one of ETA’s usual mouthpieces, the group claimed responsibility for attacks that left three people dead and 60 injured in June and July. The attacks coincided with ETA’s 50th anniversary.

In a July 29 attack, ETA said they detonated 300 kilograms (660 pounds) of explosives packed into a van parked near a Civil Guard barracks in the northern city of Burgos, injuring 60 people including children.

The group said the attack proved police action against its members was “frustrated and sterile,” noting in its published statement that “despite the vehicle being sought by police, it was parked for half a day outside the largest Civil Guard barracks adjacent to Basque lands.”

It also claimed a July 10 bomb attack on Socialist party offices in Durango, in which no one was hurt, and said it planted the car bomb that killed anti-terrorism officer Eduardo Antonio Puelles on June 19.

ETA also claimed the July 30 bomb attached to the underside of a patrol vehicle that killed the two police officers in Palma de Mallorca.

On Saturday, the Basque regional government and Spain’s National Court banned all pro-separatist marches scheduled in the northern seaside resort of San Sebastian, which is celebrating an annual festival.

Police clashed with demonstrators late Saturday, and two alleged separatists were detained.
ETA has killed more than 825 people since 1968 when it started a violent campaign for an independent Basque state.

‘Hooker’
~The Rock n’ Roll Band
You’d Love To Hate To Meet~

Way back in the beginning of modern recording technology, at a time when a multi-track was only available in major ‘proper’ studios, there was a band called ‘Hooker’ 1982 – 1985. A group of guys who had a history in music got together through the CB Radio. We were based in the Cotswold’s centered on Stow on the Wold and Chipping Norton.

This group of elder-statesmen (lol) who had learned their trades through the heady days of the 60’s and 70’s were now playing again, ‘Tarts of the Street’ I guess would have been a good name, therefore the only progression was ‘Hooker’.

‘Hooker’
Live Chipping Norton Theatre 1984

‘Hooker’ consisted of Laurie Keen – Vocals/Guitar, Peter (Phred) Webb – Vocals/Drums, David Catling – Vocals/Guitar – yours truly on Bass Guitar and the fifth member, Mick Annesley – everything from Group Electrician, Van Driver, Lighting and P.A. not forgetting the support team Big Andy, Little Andy and the others who made ‘Hooker’ – it was a family affair.

We wrote mostly self-penned music and along with some classics set up the ‘Hooker Tour’ with the logo ‘The Rock n’ Roll Band You’d Love To Hate To Meet’ and we put together a show that covered a lifetime in music from School to Old Age – the show started and ended with ‘Rock n’ Roll Angina’ – we were the first band to put this complete theatrical show together, so we were told and we used links between each song – don’t believe that had ever been done before either.

Peter (Phred) Webb
Drums ‘Hooker’

However once we started doing radio and recording it didn’t take long to remember those days back in the 60’s studios, recording in one pass straight to 2-Track, the 2x 2-Track recorders in sync gave the opportunity to bounce the backing track and add a vocal or vocals and re-bouncing for the master.

It was an engineer, I heard who’d accidentally touched one of the recorder’s reels putting the sync out that initiated ‘phasing’, listen to This Wheels on Fire’s – (Driscoll/Auger) phasing effect, purposely caused by putting 2 machines 180º out of phase.

‘Hooker’
On Tour

Before the introduction of reel to reel 2” multitracks, that went from 4 –> 8 –> 16 –> 24 tracks, the only way to multitracks was the two machine method although there was talk in the late 60’s of a machine that would carry 48 or 64 tracks on either 4” or 6” tape at E.M.I., though I never heard anything further to that!

Here we were now in the hands of others and working with old antiquated machines or those on their own learning curves in what would become the ‘Home’ studio. The outcome of those recordings didn’t suit, to my mind, what the music, especially our music, should sound like…
By 1985 the band was on its final legs with personal life changes going on and commitment had other values to fall upon – like income – isn’t this always the way?

‘Hooker’

Michael Dixon – Laurie Keen – David Catling

Unless you fall into the 1% of bands that hit the big time it’s always been a struggle in the world of entertainment and yet Music and the Arts – the most used in our daily lives for some reason remains the least valued!

Maybe this is why so many bands, actors and artists have and continue to live on the bread line. This seems to have changed in recent years with young musicians with ample equipment, seemingly supported by families with a higher income than those of my generation who had parents earning between £7 and £12 per week in the early 60’s rising to between £13 and £20 by the end of that decade with just enough to feed the family and pay the rent or mortgage.

Tony Sloan – Drums – Michael Dixon – Bass

Take away Music and the Arts and what do you have – a sterile B&W world that would be devoid of Radio and TV, Film and Theatre the major mediums of entertainment consisting, I would hazard a guess, 90% Arts and Music!

My first gig back in the early 60’s was just £2.10s.0d (that’s £2.50 GBP) in modern language and that wasn’t my wage, that was the whole bands wage packet – and this band was the Slough/Windsor version of The Blue Notes – even though they had been one of the legendry Chuck Berry’s backing bands!

Holyport Windsor

Here we were like a passive missile that had run out of juice looking for somewhere to land having failed to find a target. ‘Hooker’s’ days were fast running out.

Three of us, got together at my place Touchwood Antiques 9 Park Street, Stow on the Wold for a chat about the future of the band. Those three were, Peter Webb, who had always been affectionally called Phred, and new vocalist/guitarist Ian Bramble who hailed from Banbury and myself.

‘Hooker’
Michael Dixon (L) – Laurie Keen (R)

We had ideas for the future – the show had to go on but how?

At first we recorded to the band’s cheap cassette deck used for practices – it sounded ‘cheap’, thin; clunks and clicks were everywhere.

Over the weeks we set up the idea of ‘Hooker II’ – everything was in place but nothing to record on but the el-cheapo cassette deck and no money to buy anything better, even the cassette tapes had been used over many times!

Time passed by as it does in the wink of an eye and soon the three were two – we would write together under the name ‘Ten Moons Found’, now consisting of Ian Bramble and myself.
I had an Antiques business that specialized in Early English and Medieval furniture – this supported us through this time and the other band member was now living-in.

Michael Dixon
1969/70

I had been getting ‘Home & Studio Recording’ magazine (later Sound on Sound) on advice from a friend and read about a company called ‘Thatched Cottage Audio’ over in Royston, Hertfordshire. They were selling up to 8-Track tape recorders and the first Home Studio Packages.

Budget still limited and with no prior knowledge of modern technology I opted for a 4-Track – one of the first Portastudios, namely by a company called Cutec.

Photo’s Courtesty of following Link

I had made a connection with a young lad called Rob Ferguson who had just left education and had been badgering owner Dave Simpson for a job at Thatched Cottage Audio (TCA) for a couple of years, “if my memory serves me well” ~ (Wheels On Fire… Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger Trinity) ~ sorry just had to slip that in… Rob had secured a job there and we were talking now on a daily basis by phone.

The package arrived with the Cutec 4-Track Portastudio, incredibly small for a 4-Track Recording Studio in a Box… it was at the time great but as the weeks passed by inherent clicks and pops occurred off the heads with hi-speed cassette tape causing static leaving indelible sound-prints on tape which didn’t help budding studio magnets… no puns intended.
It wasn’t long before we aspired to the next step on the ladder; Rob Ferguson was making in-roads at TCA we opted for the new Vestafire MR1.

Ian Bramble
‘Ten Moons Found’

This took us up a peg we now had 6 inputs and 4 tracks to play with and we purchased the rare Tascam ‘Cobalt’ Cassettes with hubs that looked like the grown up multi-tracks which spun around beautifully inside the cassette shells.

A few weeks and multiple takes later and with every session starting and ending with the De-Magger, which gently erased any build up of magnetism on the heads, there it was again, that ‘pop’, not the Pop in Pop Music but the pop from drop-ins and from static – this time, we believed it was a combination of the spinning flanges of the Tascam ‘Cobalt’ cassettes and hi-speed of using a cassette recorder for multitracking on narrow cassette tapes, these machines ran at twice the speed of conventional cassette players.

Cold Photo Shoot
Windsor 1968/9
For Tony Blackburn BBC Radio

By now we were becoming well versed with Reverb, Echoes and Compression but everything all said and done was on very unprofessional cassette tape with multiple bounces and print-through of those ‘pops’!

Now it was time to reach out for the stars – we ordered a proper mixing desk – a Seck 18-8-2 along with a Fostex quarter-inch small reel 8-track.

Of course this meant ‘proper’ wiring, and setting up.

Rob arrived with his brother from TCA with all the wiring looms and mics – desk and recorder plus patch bays and patch leads, some had to be made in-situ – out on the veranda of what was to be the fledgling Touchwood Music, (later Touchwood International Studios and Acoustics… far off days yet!) sat Rob and brother with soldering irons putting on quarter inch jacks and XLR’s.

Slowly over the months we grew, Rob instilled himself further into TCA and we were taking in clients learning in uncertain curves and many angular mistakes, but through learning came knowledge and from knowledge hunger for greater things.

My other business Touchwood Antiques was going through those ‘Thatcher’ days of borrow as much as you like and don’t worry about the pay back – it’s spend-spend-spend time and we sold a lot and spent a lot on stock and then came a certain ‘pay-back’ time!

Our annual turnover was too high – big tax bills coming – we needed to expand rapidly or face crippling ‘you-know-what’s’ and being a Limited Company we could rely on bank backup from our turnover… (don’t believe a word banks tell you – they were to cripple-dick us in later years and remember banks will tell you ‘they never lose!’ Ok so what went wrong last year?).

1990

Rob had now gone from school leaver to managerial roll and they were adding staff daily.

Hard to believe but there’s a famous musician out there, most of you will know him from James Bond films and other films.

This was the young Dave Arnold who is also known for his; well let’s see what Wikipedia has to say:

David Arnold (born 23 January 1962) is a Grammy Award-winning British film composer best known for scoring five James Bond films, the 1994 film Stargate, the 1996 film Independence Day, and the cult television series Little Britain.

Session Fun at Touchwood International

Dave and I were fond of each other, although words were few we understood the mental mind cluck that festers inside deep minds, his deep with suppressed future music, mind with suppressed anger at equipment failures and learning curves and writing.

The day might start something like this – phone call to TCA – DA answers without saying a word – he senses it’s Touchwood (psychic I think) – I sense through my ‘Clairsentience’ sensitivity (look it up) – I say “*uck off” – his response “you *ucking *arstard I’m coming to get you”. Silence. “When you’re old enough…” an uncomfortable shift on the other end of the phone. “How you doin’? Followed by “What you want?”

Few words, and I wish I’d taken up Rob Ferguson’s offer that Dave had made that he’d wanted to work with me in the studio, well Dave now’s your chance…

I miss those days. I miss Rob and the others and of course Dave Arnold.

Back Studio
Touchwood International
1988

TCA was growing in the new world of the Bedroom Home Studio. Others joined the team including Dig White, Mark, who moved on to Sound Technology and later with MOTU (Mark of the Unicorn). TCA brought in many others who later made it in the world of music; many I’ve since lost touch with.

Touchwood Music was to spend a lot of money with TCA as we grew together in the world of very changing technologies and attitudes at the behest of the major studios, which is so evident today!
In the latter days of TCA another new fledgling, a late entrant into TCA, his name has become synonymous with and stayed the course of time, both in high end studio equipment and as a musician and songwriter, this was the talented Gavin Miller.

In time we are talking round figures of 20 plus years from fledgling to fully fledged in the audio business as musician and top-end studio equipment re-seller and all that this entails.

I’ve know Gavin all those years from the world of Thatched Cottage Audio, A.P.R.S. shows (Associated Professional Recording Studios) at Olympia in the 80’s and 90’s, through the interactions with Dave Simpson, Rob Ferguson, Dig White, Dave Arnold – the fun times from the heady days of the mid 80’s – the not-so-easy days of the last recession when businesses fell by the wayside including the legendry TCA.

‘Sunrise’

& Friend at St. Leonard’s Mansion
Windsor 1971

The one thing that has kept us together is the bond from that time and the knowledge that if I needed anything Gavin with his connections would get it.

He never let me down, ok once or twice, but it was the impossible I was after…

The most important thing with Gavin is that he has never let me waste my money (as I did in the learning 80’s) on items he feels are not necessary or not good. He has never sold me a ‘pup’ and then asked me to take it to the Vet’s and pay someone else to fix a problem. It’s been fixed.

Gavin and Rob are friends through all the tribulations that have gone on over these years (and there have been some believe me). Still we can call each other for a chat, when we both have time and share a problem or talk about family life.

‘SSL Desk’

Where’s this heading, well I’m suggesting that if you’re climbing the ladder to success and you want ‘sound’ advice and knowledgeable people to set you up then Gavin is your next point of contact.

But don’t let me be the sounding board for Gavin’s business, oh, it’s probably the right time to mention his company, the name is: Kazbar Systems Inc, I’m sure many of you in the Pro music world already know the name.

‘The Kazbar Speaker’

Kazbar Systems, born out of twenty years in the studio retail industry servicing artists, studios, record labels and management companies.

After working for various small and large pro audio retailers, Kazbar founder Gavin Miller decided the time was right to go it alone in 2004 after the last independent retailer he was a manager for was brought out by a large high street chain.

Studio Furniture at Kazbar

‘I never believed that it was possible to supply and support the high end of the music industry with recording equipment be it anything from cables to a full working studio within a large, chain store environment.

I believe the professional client needs and expects a higher level of service as music is their livelihood, not a hobby and when a pro musician is happy, they will recommend fellow musicians etc that is the core of Kazbar’s business’.

AMS Outboard

Kazbar Systems supplies everything Pro Audio. From Apple Mac based systems with all the required software and hardware to Microphones, Outboard, Speakers, Effects, Cables, Acoustics and so on.

Another bomb exploded this afternoon (sunday 9th August) in a beachfront restaurant in the capital of the island of Mallorca, media reported there had been a phone warning in the name of Basque separatist group ETA.

The Spanish newspaper El Mundo cited the Mallorcan ambulance service as saying. ‘There were no reports of injuries’

The bomb exploded at Restaurante La Rigoletta in Palma de Mallorca after the restaurant was evacuated following a telephone call made in the name of ETA,

ETA hit Mallorca on July 30 with a car bomb attack which killed two officers of Spain’s civil guard..

ETA has claimed responsibility for three car bomb attacks attributed to the armed group over the last two months, according to a statement published in Basque-language newspaper Gara.

The separatists are held responsible for more than 800 deaths in the past 40 years in their campaign to carve out an independent Basque homeland in northern Spain and southern France.
