Words can’t quite express the profundity of Friday evening. To us it felt to be a coalescence of the powerful forces that constitute the project itself and those individuals involved who have taken it to heights we could never have anticipated. It was an evening of passion, honesty, love, transcendence and a willingness to give oneself to the depths of their emotions.
We’d like to pay huge gratitude to all of those who joined us for the evening. Playing to a full room of individuals who gave themselves fully to both performances, with open hearts, you elevated the evening to that of a spiritual experience for us. Being an all artist-curated event, your attendance facilitated every individual who partook in both projects, enabling each artist to be paid as they should be in the UK for the hard work that goes into curating such events. So too did your generosity help us raise £520 for the charity ‘Suicide & Co.’ We would also like to thank them for coming down to the evening and delivering a very informative and heartfelt speech in how the charity provides services for those bereaved individuals who are effected by suicide.
We would like to thank ‘Pillow’ for the most incredibly profound set of music, in making the evening what it was as an immensely powerful double bill.We would also like to thank Simon and co from St Michael for providing us with one of the most special venues this country has to offer. Finally, thank you to Richard Jones for his stunning, soaring violin brilliance, Fraser Bowles for his deeply moving cello performance, Alfred Weedon for bringing the house down on double bass, to Jools Owen for his incredibly moving and heartfelt performance which brought goosebumps to us, and finally, with all our hearts to James Osler who defies all artistic and cognitive limitations. He provided both sets with a mystical magic, and worked tirelessly as ‘Nocturne Presents’ alongside both of us under our label imprint ‘The Road Records Studio’ in making this evening as uniquely profound as it was.

This evening was proof, that artists have the power to be the change they want to see.
