Panjenix Videos World Reknowned for their Ropeyness |
As part of Panjenix attempt to span
and unite musical cultures I have been attending a lot of open mic and
folk clubs in the area where you realise just what a luxury of talent
we have knocking about. Folk music in the 21st Century is no longer
about a genre of music, but so much more about the People creating the
music and their interaction in the music community. After all Folk Music
does literally mean People Music. During these excursions I have seen
so many magical moments which pass in a flash unnoticed as the Music
Industry Machine rolls over us all with their cardboard cut out celebrities.
So I decided I would try to collect loads of videos of these gems of
grass roots entertainers doing their thing for fun and for FREE. Most
are filmed on a very cheap camera and often in a quite drunken state
with talking in the background, lens flares and camera shakes. But this
is not MTV Lipstick Movies, these videos put you in the crowd with the
band of comrades who make these nights the remarkable events which they
are. These videos are not to "Make It with the MAN" merely
to show, that others may come and as our own Nostalgia for an age yet
to come.
