We are now living through the worst time for musicians, their fans and all people in general, with the whole entertainment business ruined, possibly for good, by the greatest over-reaction ever seen in history!

 

Like all my fellow muso’s I’ve missed the gigs, and most of all the vibe generated by being in the company of others, so it was particularly uplifting to be present at one of the greatest gatherings I’ve ever seen on Saturday 26th September 2020, filling London’s Trafalgar Square and the streets nearby to absolute capacity!

 

Although it was a massive protest against current events it was also one of the happiest, friendliest and above all, peaceful protests ever, ironically overlooked from his column above by the figure of Lord Nelson, one of our greatest heroes who fought against the forces that sought to oppress us. Whilst the media tried to diminish the event in the press (for an accurate version about September 26th check the article written by Jacqui Deevoy), in fact this was probably one of largest gatherings that Trafalgar Square had seen, full to bursting point with people who showed up to voice their feelings, with not a mask in sight!

 

After three hours of uplifting speeches, the decision was made to send in the police to disperse the crowds, a totally unnecessary move as everyone was behaving themselves. I would say it was a great privilege to be present, and hopefully people will continue to protest against the tyranny that we are now living under, with fans and musicians joining with others, speaking out in one voice.

 

All the best, Nick
