An optimistic Welsh band writes to a radio station:
I hope your day is going great and that you are very well !! .
I will write you a little and try and express my feelings so it can be understood where we are coming from :)
I represent an amazing new musical group called ****… Our first Single is set for release in the week starting 17th August, this proceeds the Debut Album set for release first week in September … We are financing the first run of 1000 cd’s and will be acting as a record company … We have turned down some Independent Labels as our network of friends will cover the requirements for such a small run … What we’ve got here is very special and with due respect to all involved, we can see the greatness, and can feel what is “in the post” … The Album sounds beautiful !!! and the harmonies speak to us all :)We have been invited by the President of The Global Alliance of Departments and Ministries for Peace to play a show supporting the Global Peace Summit in Costa Rica. There will be gigs all over the world on this day, but the president has asked us to play at the place of “the” Summit in Central America… She heard of us through word of mouth and you can imagine our Joy that news had spread so far of the Music and Good vibrations that we make :) … We were told that, as the show will be part of a fundraiser we would have to find our way there, It just wouldn’t be fair to pay the few thousand pounds it would cost to fly us over, but once their we would be looked after so well!!! … could you imagine the follow on effects from doing a gig such as this??? … A band from Wrecsam are playing at a Global Peace summit in Costa Rica ??? Whatever next??? … Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!
… and may I be so bold as to say that this type of news is dearly needed … What we focus on becomes our reality! … Is it possible that to achieve peace we have to focus on it? not on why we are at war … I believe so!!! I also believe that in their best dreams and best wishes and best thoughts … every Man, Woman and Child wishes for peace … And we plan to spread this message until as many people can hear have heard … This is the how! The seed of a possibility :) How could this be shown to people??? Television??? what style of program??? any ideas are more than welcome and maybe something incredible can come from this.
Thank-you for reading, If this sounds all a bit to much please feel at ease, I expect nothing from you :)
I could write all day of the music and the band and the people we are meeting, In Barcelona we played at a peace day celebration … the local community gathered and celebrated peace :) …. they all held a 200 meter scarf in the air in massive circle and John Lennons ‘Imagine’ was played loud and proud from the stage … “Sant Just (the name of the area) for peace” they shouted !!! “Pau per tothom” !!! “Peace for Every-one” and they meant it !!!!!!! We are meeting people like this all the time now …:)
As i say, I have more to talk about, another time maybe :P!
Wishing you a brilliant day my friend



Joy with a capital ‘J’? Fuck off!
Confiscate this man’s shift key. Immediately.
Did… did he/she spell Wrexham ‘Wrecsam’ or am I tripping balls? How can you misspell the name of your hometown?
For those who do not “siarad Cymraeg”, Wrecsam is the Welsh spelling of Wrexham.
Does anyone else find the invitation from the “President of The Global Alliance of Departments and Ministries for Peace” a bit dodgy?
Specifically the whole idea of them paying to fly themselves to Costa Rica!
I was half imagining the closing paragraph to say something like this: “we were recently contacted by the deposed finance minister of an African nation who is willing to share his $10 million in war-bonds if with us if we can provide our banking details to him!”
