Musician, retired architect and climate activist but along the way I have done every shit job under the sun and it seems like I still am!
Lovely gig under the trees in St Peter's Community Garden at the Sandwich Folk & Ale Festival last Sunday. Thanks for having us and we had a blast. Good people and good fun! L-R: Nicholas Thurston, Bass/ Vocal. Henry Sparks, Mandolin/ Guitar/ Vocal. Danny Wood, Guitar/ Vocal.
Today's mic stand...Sauerkraut! And today we wake to the news of fresh hell somewhere on the planet. It is probable that keeping informed about the world is actually bad for one's mental health but we persist in being informed to take part in the debate. henrysparksmusic.co.uk/summer-hot-a...
I never thought that US citizens (or anywhere else) might need a copy of the CANVAS CORE CURRICULUM: A GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE NON VIOLENT STRUGGLE. I have a printable PDF copy which I am happy to share. Just message me.
The Epstein files and Jan 6th are not going away, and now Minneapolis...
‘January 6th was an attack on the structure of our democracy in which over 140 heroic law enforcement officers were assaulted. Over 160 individuals later pled guilty to assaulting police that day.’ ‘Our case was built on-Republicans who put their allegiance to the country before the party.’ J.Smith
An image from the Canterbury Friday Climate Strikes 2024...No change there! I'd say that they have become even less in tune with the needs of the planet! May restart the Friday Climate Strikes later in 2026 if we are not consumed by fire before then.
Well...reading the book for the first time is turning my head around. There is so much that is not in the film. I did not know that amongst other things Nixon was money laundering! Although, the book notes, organised crime did it it was not illegal at the time. And now...?
