'Art for Lands Sake' is a Myspace music shop
designed to raise money to buy permaculture land with
Land Roots and
the Co-operative Land Action Network.
A wildlife corridor for Human
Beings!
It works like this...
Bands and Musicians are invited to offer a song/s that Art for Lands Sake
can use to raise money!
--- Original music only please - unless its copyleft
---
The songs will be rotated monthly on this page and
they will be made available to download for 50p each
at All
4 Artists. ALL the money from the sale will go to
buy permaculture land - it's beautifully simple!
It's a great place to showcase your song, plus you'll
get the satisfaction of helping bringing the land back
to the people and you'll be joining a network of like-minded
individuals and artists that could lead to future collaborations
and opportunities. We will do our best to raise your
profile whenever we can by getting messages, e-mails
and leaflets out into the world publicising your contribution!
This is where you come in!
We are looking for musicians and artists the world over
who are willing to donate a song to Art for Lands Sake.
As well as getting your song heard, joining part of
a growing community and getting some handsome plaudits
from ourselves, you will be able to come to the Art-for-Lands-Sake
musical gathering and enjoy the land that you helped
buy! How can you resist that offer?
If you wish to donate a song all you have to do is get
in touch. Either send us a message here in the land
of Myspace or e-mail Art-for-lands-sake@hotmail.com
and we'll guide you through the rest of the process.
Have a look at the band members section to see who have
pledged their songs so far -->
We're offering you sustainable music at your fingertips!
The Green Revolution that YOU can easily be a part
of!
Its Permaculture in Action!
This life ain't a rehearsal
- its the real thing !
So go for it - send us one of your best songs!
What will the Land be used for?
The Land will be used along permaculture principles to plant native trees, grow good food for a veg box scheme and increase biodiversity.
We aim to have a small sustainable community based on the land, they will be the hub for all the activities that take place there.
We will hold music gatherings, craft workshops, arts events, set up a recording studio and much more.
Land Roots is about realizing the power that we have
believing in our ability to create positive change and taking action !
Have a look at this map
When Land Roots did our launch event and consultation in Nottingham - we had this map on the wall and offered people red dots saying -
'Where would you like to co-own Land?'
The majority of people put their stickers around the area where they live
we expect this to be a pattern
it makes a lot of sense really less miles to travel = less carbon footprint we can grow food there and have a veg box scheme to feed the Land Roots clan
Therefore: We aim to buy the first piece of Land Roots land in Middle England (geographically - not politically)
However - this is a repeatable process - we wanna see locally owned permaculture plots springing up all over the country - so - if you wanna set up a Land Roots clan for buying land in your area - get in touch !
Get Involved!

Land bought by the people
for the people
and protected through common ownership
and good stewardship
for all to enjoy
Special call to all local bands and Musos...
Watch out for Land Roots local clan events where you can come and strut your
stuff !
We - the local creative community - have the power to make a difference in
our own backyard and raise money for our own local gathering land !
