Cherries
Hello readers/inspectors/onlookers, I do hope the Vegedward Magazine finds you well and happy and if not have a read/inspection/look and get happy.
You might as well know that I am the one here who deals with the wordy side of things, since Vegedward cannot speak for himself. I read and write a lot of poetry so they'll be heaps of the stuff. While writing this I'm listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor 'East Hastings' and recommend a listen, especially if you like bagpipes.
And here we have a poem by D. H. Lawrence called 'Cherry Robbers':
Under the long dark boughs, like jewels red
In the hair of an Eastern girl
Hang strings of crimson cherries, as if had bled
Blood-drops beneath each curl.
Under the glistening cherries, with folded wings
Three dead birds lie:
Pale-breasted throstles and a blackbird, robberlings
Stained with red dye.
Against the haystack a girl stands laughing at me,
Cherries hung round her ears.
Offers me her scarlet fruit; I will see
If she has any tears.

Friends on canvas, 2009
Two good friends, Tarn and Bertrand created 2 pieces of work on canvas as a gift for my birthday.
I love them. I can imagine them sitting with each other drawing and laughing and it warms me through. Lovely stuff.
Who could argue with the words; LIVE, SOUND, PLAY, YEAH?

Church Owl
Last saturday, some friends and I travelled across the world. From Bow to Highbury to went on our way and when we reached the chapel, the Owl Parliment; our required destination.
We were seated.
For the next nine hours we were treated to a gaggle of folk and anti-folk bands the highlight of which were, Johnny Flynn, Peggy Sue and Jeffrey Lewis.
The church was a beautiful setting for the music and the hours slipped away in majestic style.
Here are a few of my favourite tracks played on the day and a couple that i think would accompany any church visit.
Peggy Sue - The Sea The Sea

Johnny Flynn - The Wrote and the Writ

Jeffrey Lewis - The Singing Tree

Arcade Fire - Intervention

Max Richter - Autumn Music 2
