Wind turbine construction: The base of a wind turbine, or foundation, can weigh between 600 and 1,000 tons. Wind turbine blades are built with balsa wood which is obtained by deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. Wind turbines contain concrete, carbon fiber, steel, cast iron, copper, aluminum, boron, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, and rare earth elements.  They have an operational lifespan of up to 25 years. It is estimated that globally, around 43 million tons of wind turbine blade waste could pile up by 2050. The diametric opposite of environmentally sustainable.

Horrendous.

Shining On The Hill - new single - out now. “The inspiration for this song comes from a story I heard about a very rich but lonely man, who walked many miles to the top of a steep and remote mountain to seek advice from the wise old monk, who lived there. Upon hearing the man’s story, the monk said nothing. Instead, he filled a cup with water, plonked it down on the table in front of him and returned to the bed where he had been lying before the interruption. The rich man was confused and sat looking at the cup of water, wondering what the monk was trying to tell him. Slowly, the ripples settled, until the water was completely still and when it was, it reflected the vast sky above him. Eventually the man came to understand that the difference between him and the monk was that while he spent his life in a ceaseless search, the world sought out the monk, with people travelling long distances and climbing the hostile slopes of the mountain to be near his perfect stillness, which shone, like a beacon, on the hill. “I wrote the song in February and presented it to my wife, Louise as a musical Valentine, which gave it another dimension of meaning. It now worked as both an ode to inner peace and as a love song, perhaps they are two sides of the same coin? “Amid the joyful hoo-ha of the Fairground Attraction reformation last year, Louise, and our family were confronted with the nearness of death when she had to face a life-threatening health issue. It is strange how the very good and very bad so often come along like two buses. She got the all-clear on the day that the band’s album, Beautiful Happening, was released and it was exactly that. As the year closed, feeling extremely grateful, I booked a big celebratory family holiday to Argentina and Brazil. “While in Rio De Janeiro on Easter weekend, I took the opportunity to make this video, it was hot and that big hill was very steep… but, I’ll be forever climbing to hear the joy bells chiming, where you will… be shining on the hill.”

@KirlosDemyan @BarclaysUK @AskNationwide ❤️ Local bank branches all closed down, stupid bots on the phone, answerphones rather than actual customer service. Thank goodness for Nationwide. Sanity restored, Kirlos!

@LPNevin @BarclaysUK @AskNationwide @LPNevin, glad to hear you found a helpful solution amidst the chaos. 🌟

Trying to pay in 26 cheques to @BarclaysUK but app stopped after accepting two. Crazy-making call with automated system, then futile conversation with employee possibly in outer space. Called @AskNationwide - fabulous! Clear advice from a knowledgeable human. Money will go there!

New single and video 'Shining On The Hill' coming this Friday!

Last year we went to Japan to do five shows, our first in around 35 years. It was an extraordinary and emotional trip. However, during the soundcheck before the penultimate night, our drummer Roy, was taken ill and rushed to hospital in an ambulance. This happened while the audience was entering the hall and it was too late to cancel, and so we battled on without drums. After the show, we learned that Roy had been taken from the hospital to the hotel, where he was getting some much needed rest. Sony, our record label in Japan, had arranged for the last night to be recorded and filmed for a possible live album and video but, under the circumstances, it seemed unlikely that it would go ahead. The next day, Roy was determined to play and, heroically, dragged himself out of bed in time to save the day. Our performance was warmly received and Sony’s cameras were there to capture it. The album and video, ‘Beautiful Happening: Live in Japan 2024’ is being released there this week.

Released one year ago today....
