St John's Downshire Hill - Sunday 13th April 2025, 6.00pm

Stand firm on the front line - Ephesians 6:10-24

Many of the public’s interactions with the state are with frontline officials in health and social care, policing and local government. How much do the Nolan principles resonate with those delivering public services? How can frontline officials be supported to make ethical decisions? And how can frontline organisations prevent failures, and rebuild public trust where they occur?

Speakers:

Neil Basu, former Assistant Commissioner, Metropolitan Police
Helen Buckingham, Chair of National Voices
Amerdeep Somal, Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman

This session was chaired by Nick Davies, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

How can frontline officials uphold high standards of behaviour?

Being a Ukrainian soldier - what is it like? - with Vladyslav Urubkov

A heartfelt, sing-along anthem honoring the Lone Soldier who leaves home, crosses oceans, and finds a new family in Israel. Mixing English storytelling with Hebrew phrases like “יאללה!” and “אח שלי, אני פה איתך,” the song blends warm acoustic folk and uplifting pop energy. It celebrates courage, sacrifice, and the deep brotherhood and sisterhood found in the IDF—reminding us that even without family nearby, a soldier can find a home in the hearts of those who stand beside them.

Got No Family-I Found My Family Here

Lines in the Dust is where the threat stops being distant and becomes real. Melodic and alternative metal colours give the harmony a heavier, more unstable feel from the first bars, as if the ground itself is shifting. The symphonic metal shade in the orchestration adds size and urgency, while folk rock traces keep it connected to ordinary streets and homes. Riffs and motives race back and forth, carrying bad news from one side of the soundstage to the other.

There is a sense of people talking in urgent voices, arguments and questions between the aggrieved woven into the lines. Every time the piece seems to gather itself, the ominous theme returns, reminding you that this is not a false alarm and not a passing scare. The uncertainty does not resolve here. It tightens.

About the album

Lines in the Dust is Movement III of Whirl: Ukraine in Sound, an instrumental cinematic and neo classical suite with symphonic metal intensity and Eastern European folk and Balkan colour. Across 15 movements the album follows a journey from peace to war, through loss and mourning, and toward a scarred return to calm, written from the perspective of those living through aggression rather than watching from afar.

Ukraine in Sound III • Lines in the Dust

Rising Tension does exactly what its name promises. Cinematic and epic writing meets symphonic and alternative metal weight to create something like a massed, restless heartbeat. The threat is no longer abstract; it is here, understood and felt in every bar. Progressive rock movement adds a constant sense of forward push, as if events are accelerating and there is no way to step aside.

The melodic lines carry uncertainty, but not fracture. Underneath the shifting harmonies you can hear people closing ranks, a battle march ready nation beginning to move as one. Orchestral figures and metal tinged riffs answer each other like voices in a crowd, calling and replying with the same resolve. Rising Tension speaks of fear that has not disappeared, held together by unity that refuses to break.

About the album

Rising Tension is Movement VI of Whirl: Ukraine in Sound, an instrumental cinematic and neo classical suite with symphonic metal intensity and Eastern European folk and Balkan colour. Across 15 movements the album follows a journey from peace to war, through loss and mourning, and toward a scarred return to calm, written from the perspective of those living through aggression rather than watching from afar.

crosslink/warzone - song wars events in the discord

I’ve always lived at the crossroads of music and poetry — where feeling becomes form, and melody turns memory into meaning. Whether it’s a lingering jazz note, a well-placed rhyme, or a shift in tempo that tells a deeper story, I’m drawn to that quiet magic where art reflects life with a little more style.

My roots are in classic music — the kind that doesn’t chase the moment but lingers with you long after the last note. Over time, that love expanded into poetry writing and jazz — especially the kind that swings, speaks, and smirks all at once. Jazz, to me, isn’t just a genre; it’s a personality. A conversation. A little tilt of the head and a grin that knows more than it says.

When I set out to create an album, it’s rarely just a collection of songs. I approach it like a personal playlist — one that drifts and flows as if the entire tracklist were one long, uninterrupted piece. Each track leans into the next, shifting mood, pace, or voice, but always carrying the same thread of feeling. I want you to listen the way I do — not as a shuffle of moments, but as a cinematic arc. One breath that lasts an hour.

Lyrically, my work is rooted in lived experience. Sometimes it’s obvious. Other times it’s just the skeleton of a memory, dressed up in wit, irony, or longing. I draw from real-life events, then let the poet in me twist, stretch, or sweeten them to taste. Depending on the tone of the album — playful, romantic, nostalgic, or something in between — I try to keep the emotional truth intact while giving it a fresh coat of creativity. A little humor where it fits. A deeper dive where it hurts.

My newest jazz album continues this tradition — short-lined swing tracks, conversational duets, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. It’s an homage to late-night alleyway ballads, rooftop serenades, and train station goodbyes — all bound together with a sense of charm and cohesion. Each song is its own little scene, but together they tell a story — one you can revisit with each replay.

Thanks for stopping by my profile. I hope you find something that earns a spot on your repeat-play list — a melody, a lyric, or a moment that feels like it was written just for you.
