Hello Murray For those who have lost For those who are broken The Angel has risen The Angel has spoken The sun will rise tomorrow The stars will shine tonight Keep the love within your heart Find strength within your light Take courage on this rocky path Help those in need and fear For every twist a challenge brings And enjoy the coming year For those who have lost For those who are broken Believe in your self For the Angel has spoken. Charles Antony December 2008
"Dreams can take you.... to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known."" ~ Carson Wrenn ~
The Acorn Arts Centre in Penzance is to be taken on a trip through Eastern Europe via Liverpool by the combined forces of home-grown klezmer-punk-gypsy enthusiasts “Julian Gaskell & his Ragged Trousered Philanthropists” and John Lennon inspired punk activists "The Oz" all the way from St Petersburg, Russia on Saturday 6th December.
This bizarre exchange of musical styles is likely to be quite a night, the last "Ragged Trousered Philanthropists" gig at the Acorn in July was a sweaty, dance floor storming performance of epic proportions with tickets sold out in advance. Having recently returned from a tour of Poland and Czech Republic, the Philanthropists have pushed their music even further beyond it's limits, and with the Russians in attendance they are sure to raise their game further towards ‘bourbon soaked vaudeville gypsy hoedown politico- punk' oblivion.
Tickets are available from The Acorn Arts Centre at £5 plus £1 booking fee per booking or by calling the Acorn ticket line on 01736 365520, make sure you book early to avoid disappointment, doors open at 7.30pm and the live music will continue until midnight.
