Our "band" is massive and it's growing by the day. Musicans from all over the UK, Europe and USA have shown their support for this project and in some cases, buying an acre themselves. The power of this direct action is clear, it's tangible, it's real. Music can make a difference, we believed this from the moment this idea was hatched and more musicans are coming on board by the day!

FESTIVAL JAM
is about creating and keeping the festival vibe going year round... that means live music, mixed genres, mixed crowds, unsigned bands, original songwriters and inspirational people... making new friends, warm vibes, discovering your favourite new artist... who will be writing the new soundtracks to our lives. We are based in London, but will be taking the show on the road in 2007, throughout the UK, into Europe and making plans to stage a specialshow in Brazil at the end of next year, in aid of STARO. Check us out, there's something for everyone here! *PEACE*
Here is a special thanks to those Artist & Bands who supported last year's SOHO Rainforest Jam...
2006 was only the beginning! By buying tickets and attending the gigs that were held by the SOHO rainforest jam, the proceeds saved 30 acres, lets keep this thing going, let's save the Amazon Rainforest. look at www.staro.org to personally purchase an acre or to buy the Luc Floreani Single "Breathe" at £1 per download, each download goes towards an acre, 65 of those downloads, buys one ACRE!!! We already have one acre, so thank you to those that made it possible
Out now! The new single by Luc Floreani, "Breathe" is now on sale online for only 1 UK Pound and all proceeds are going to STARO
Proceeds from this event will go to purchase a large plot of Amazon Rainforest the size of SOHO and beyond! ...Think globally and act locally... in London, UK.
FESTIVAL JAM is teaming up with Save the Amazon Rainforest Organisation ( see their website at www.staro.org ), to host SOHOs very first indoor popular music festival.
STARO will also be planting 5000 trees in their Amazon settlement to create a carbon neutral festival. All ticket holders are urged to journey to the gigs by public transport.

It seems like years since the last Moorfest happened and to be honest I think the weather was very much a factor in whether people enjoyed themselves or not. Some thrived in the mud whilst others wept until their dads could pick them up. Moorfest is still carving an identity for itself and in the three years that it has been established I think I can say that the one thing that most people love about it is the friendly atmosphere, and this gig is a good opportunity to meet up with friends that perhaps you haven't seen since the festival, to make new friends, enjoy quality music, get a flavour of Moorfest if you haven't already been and also to talk to the organisers in order to give your opinions on how to improve the festival. We'll also be projecting your favourite photos that you've taken from previous Moorfests to create a live mashup that will adorn the walls of the Brudenell so please send them to bandsformoorfest@yahoo.co.uk and make sure that everyone in the picture is cool for you to use them like this.
There'll be much more to boot like gorgeous organic food, t-shirt stall, films and raffles to win tickets to Moorfest 4 which we're working on right now and aim to make it the best yet.
We really appreciate your continued support in making Moorfest what it is and hope to see you all there.

Women who have fled the violence of Sudan are facing discrimination in a culture which fails to distinguish between adultery and rape
There are some stories [that] you instantly want to forget, but they are often the ones that remain with you forever. In a hushed and claustrophobically hot room in eastern Chad, sitting on a hard mud floor scattered with rush mats, my own worst nightmares were brought to life by another woman's story.
Hey SOHO RAINFOREST JAM MUSIC FESTIVAL! ! How are you? Thanks for your friendship - I really appreciate it. Please stop by my page and have a listen to my nu single - I LOVE YOU. Thanks so much! EWING
If you make a revolution, make it for fun,
don't make it in ghastly seriousness,
don't do it in deadly earnest,
do it for fun.
Don't do it just because you hate people,
do it just to spit in their eye.
Don't do it for the money,
do it and be damned to the money.
Don't do it for equality,
do it because we've got too much equality
and it would be fun to upset the apple-cart
and see which ways the apples would go a-rolling.
Don't do it for the working classes.
Do it so we can of all us be little aristocracies on our own
and kick our heels like jolly escaped asses.
Don't do it, anyhow, for international Labour.
Labour is the one thing a man has had too much of.
Let's abolish labour, let's have done with labouring!
WORK CAN BE FUN, SO LET'S ENJOY IT; THEN IT'S NOT LABOUR.
LET'S HAVE IT SO! LET'S MAKE A REVOLUTION FOR FUN!
