Laurie Wright, who won the Musos 2025 Inspiration Award, speaks for many at “the first awards ceremony” he’d attended (YouTube clip). and is in the mix of names at the industry’s informal day out (May 10th Soccer Six Fest: “like school sports day, but it’s bands!”)

Another rich-In-friendship Party Of The Year (studded, again, with Musos nominees!) - CroCroLand we couldn't love you more! What a necessary and brilliant grass roots festival" said Jemma Freeman and the Cosmic Something, the UK’s "Spiders From Venus" thrill who flew to heart at the first Cro in 2019 and remain glued there. "You can tell this event is created by musicians because everything makes sense" said the (better than Taylor Swift, in my opinon) pop-star rockers, Arxx.
(I made a minute of Cro Cro Land video clips, for the documenting, at TikTok)
Both events are shouted out, attended and supported by a galaxy of interdependent allies (This Feeling, LOUD WOMEN, Kick Out The Jams, End Of The Trail, Scruff Of The Neck).
Artists and audiences are the movie heroes as reputation grows for the quality of line ups, experience, community, atmosphere and organisation. Good times are seeding seeds:

There’s a consensus to all the above. As a vintage rocker, I wish Manics-long careers for the now and next stars. On Very Good Friday, some of us roared “If I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists”, Uncouth Brett was at The Molotovs. A Musos Awards nominee, he reports; “The third wave of rock n roll is here. Back to the forefront of culture we go”. He’s not wrong and more is coming. That This Is The Music blue plaque for an (award winning) Indie Band Champion is very on point for 2025!

Read MoreA spark and energy that has been carried over into their latest single 'Meet the Shadow'. A song that tackles the idea of Carl Jung's theory of the shadow self, a theory that every human has parts of themselves they wish to reject or ignore and only through acknowledging our shadow can we fully integrate all parts of ourselves. The cinematic influences are clear for this video; it is visually beautiful and has a Lynchian quality to it that not only captures the duality of man but also the complexity.
