I performedat the Fairbridge Festival this year with Liz and Peter Harper on bass, and Sam Michael ( alias Billy Hillman). We played my original songs and you can hear them on this site on other pages.
We had a really good time with excellent feed back about our performances.
Liz and I played at the first Fairbridge Festival and a couple more since then but we haven't played there since 2006. That festival finished with a beautifull moment when many young people from family bands refused to stop singing just because the last concert was over. Eventually the sound man turned the sound back up and their voices could be heard singing with such positive affirmation that everyone there was truly inspired by their energy. As Louisa Wise said "I think the future is safe..." I started writing a song about it that evening. Here are the lyrics.
Love sings her song.
Words and Music David Rivett 2006
As the sun went down you could hear the voices
Singing songs of hope and peace
In a world gone strange it’s hard to find such
Moments when love sings her song
Chorus: Children singing people weeping
Hearts can’t hide we’re all as one
In a world gone strange we need to find such
Moments when love sings her song
There’s been dreamers who have sung forever
Singing songs of hope and peace
In a world gone strange with darkness growing
On the face of war torn lands
Till the wars are gone with peace returning
And the trees begin to flower again
In a world gone strange we all can still find
Time for love to sing her song
