Image: previous documentary; June / July 2019 Although Hate Crime had multiplied since the referendum, and the Extreme Right Global Domination Abomination was sneering at our Living Globe and all it’s offspring (including thedimension of music obsession), we had yet another summer of love.

Thank You for the soul-boost, Notting Hill Carnival. Europe’s biggest carnival is a reminder of our Wonderful World, Beautiful People… Also, I could never call myself a photographer with these amateur snapshots, but I was SO chuffed that in August 2019, the carnival used an old pic (next page) that I took years ago It was used by London Evening Standard site, for the event’s preview also.
My August 2019 ended with a return to Grandad’s Shed at Little Nan’s Bar where Dizzy Spell had interviewed Smiley (of The Underclass) almost a year earlier. This evening, Sofar Sounds were hosting a warm and wonderful event there, as befits Deptford Fun City.

We not only have Shepherds Of Humanity in our tale (The Pagans S.O.H.) but thanks to multi talent tasking foundations of TheZineUK story - Patrick Jones and John Robb - we have Renegade Psalms.
Renegade Psalms Album (Louder Than War records), articulated : “The personal is the political. The political has become personal. Raging words and brooding beats. A sonic document of our times. Jones takes aim at borders the bedroom tax, the moarchy, Tory dismantling of The Welfare State, greed and austerity whilst celebrating the resilience of the human spirit, love, the power of literature and the growing tide of protest as Robb’s atmospheric soundscapes fill the grooves with a sense of emotional urgency.”
The NEW world is coming
In Autumn 2019,

A magnificent campaign and perfect setting MDE:ONE
Shingai at MDE:ONE
Bumped into various friends at MDE:ONE, some from this story, including Karen Emanuel (Key Production) and Smiley of The Underclass, who played Autumn gigs for Music Declares Emergency and (again) for Extinction Rebellion.
August and September 2019 was also about Bogjob Prime Sinister bloke getting ‘AbolishTheMonarchy trending with his ineptitude, #SpiderNan (a.k.a. Judge Hale), Captain Ska’s ‘Fuck Boris’ video, #ClimateStrike, Fontaines D.C. ‘Dogrel’ album at the Mercury Prize, anti-Brexit rallies -v- pro Brexit 50ps, the tory PR fail with “JFC” chicken(!) and #MusicTourism with The Libertines opening The Albion Rooms in Margate. TheZineUK : Movements in Under Radar Rock n Roll music in an austerity afflicted age. The inspiring, charismatic people who are the stars of our DIY diary documentaries creative positivity despite an eruption of corruption with no interruption as their backdrop: Crapitalism: Shitty Ingreeding by any MEAN-ness unnecessary
Then suddenly it was September 2019 no more. A month later would herald the most Home Grown Halloween era as we descended, via arse and farce, from a post modern fairy tale to the scary tale of, well, now and DARKNESS Contact design artist, Tyla Challenger via rock band, The Novus
