Old Mantra Freebies! Apologies for fidelity...

Monday 3 June 2013

Hi everyone out there in cyber space. 162 hits on YouTube so far....In a way we have achieved an aim in simply expanding the audience. Last week we visited a Folk Club...wow! Like stepping back in time about 200 years. All traditional English folk, mainly unaccompanied. There was one fella with a fiddle and everyone joined in on the choruses. There is a really rich seam of song that goes unnoticed and yet seems to be part of the fabric of this place.

I've recorded a new song today- a kind of "chivvy myself along" song with guitar and harmonica- light at the end of the tunnel and all that. On the weekend I was on a canal barge on Regent's Park Canal, celebrating a birthday. I really can't tell what the future is going to be at the moment. Hope it's bright. 

If anyone out there has any suggestions about reaching a larger audience, please get in touch. All advice appreciated.

Well, now it gets to the tricky bit...trying to get this music out there. We uploaded last week and it's taking to time to ignite. Please continue to add your support and encourage other people to view the video clips. 2 other video promo clips have been uploaded to show some of the other musical treats in store. If we are going to viral we are going to need some luck and tenacity. Help this stone keep-a rolling!

Peace comrades.

A new beginning. The Hamster Mob and Plastic Mantras invite you to express yourself. This is the start- a very delicate time. We need your appreciation to grow. If you want more then shout it loud and spread the word. 

Whether you like it or not isn't the main issue- this is a manifesto about self expression and singing to the people, not into a vacuum. Join us on the march!
