day three of Sidetracks And Detours inaugural Here´s To The Ladies in-print Festival 2022. MARTHA WAINWRIGHT: Love Will Be Reborn

´If I leave my children to their own devices, someone will come back with a bloody nose´, she said, grimacing. ´They’re like me and my brother Rufus – we fought a lot, it was very scrappy. I think one of them really needs to hurt the other to learn the lesson´.

Sidetracks And Detours. Here´s To The Ladies 2022, an inaugural in-print festival EMMYLOU HARRIS

In America, it was like the end of innocence, a terrible, horrifying thing. There was a blackness, a cloud over everyone.

“To me it’s like, ‘This is a great song, let’s get it on the radio!’ But it’s like, ‘Well, no, you have to build a story.’ Fuck that. If the Beatles or Prince existed now, I have no idea how that would have worked. They would have had to do TikTok campaigns and if that didn’t work, the label wouldn’t push their music. Who the fuck knows? But it still comes down to an undeniable song. I still believe that.”

The Arts Go MARCHing on in 2022

We have already seen nearly twenty musical events and visited a number of visual arts exhibitions in 2022. We have even followed guided walks and talks to review here in the arts and culture section of Lanzarote Information. Since lockdowns lifted here on Lanzarote many measures and protocols have been eased and the arts (and we who love the arts) have been grateful beneficiaries of those moves.

FROM PIGS TO POETRY AND LITERATURE

So, at the end of a working day with the pigs I would cycle ten miles over to Gloucester, to spend an evening learning French with a student base, mainly, of florid, beautiful girls with their Cheltenham-style accents.

ELVIS COSTELLO, world-class song-writer

Elvis Costello said, "I'm not interested in extracting some dark secret. I'd rather hear about a bright secret, a deep love or a curiosity that might be otherwise obscured by fame. Spectacle With was a wonderful opportunity to talk in complete thoughts about music, movies, art or even vaudeville, then frame it with unique and illustrative performances."

BEING LOST AS USUAL Jorge Da Rocha,

somehow the sounds he and the instrument made seemed to emerge from the dawn of time before stepping into the complexities, and simplicities, of contemporary music.

JJ CALE kept music superficially simple

Whatever his secret, Cale's music has proved remarkably durable and influential.
