Sinead O'Connor

I'd give up ten gigs to go and see Sinead O'Connor play. Tonight in Manchester Cathedral is was another g'dung, g'dung moment. She vocalises what we all feel. When she smiled, it was with joy, when she put back her head and let rip all her emotions, anger, anguish, pain, jealousy, yearning, it was a release for all we felt and feel. Her honesty and bravery has been mocked for years as craziness, but how can her lyrics and vocal rawness be crazy when they spoke for all we felt? Another door opened tonight. I feel very very grateful and I would urge anyone who has the chance to see her to go. Give up other tickets. Hearing her is not enough. See her. The best night of the year.

Biodanza


Every time Biodanza surprises me. Today started out playful and turned into sensual. All to various styles of music.
Having fun, being playful, laughing without self-consciousness or judgement. Lying on the floor stretching and contracting which was so, so erotic. And connecting with others as a group and singularly and then dancing or moving on your own again. Making eye contact, hand contact, complete embraces.

And it all feels so right. Every since The Tribe of Doris last year, all sorts of things are coming together. And it comes down to how to live our lives. The mist is clearing, I'm learning what I need, my body needs and so my spirit.

Thank you to Antoinette Lorraine from the Bristol School of Biodanza for these few wondrous hours to integrate with myself and with others and with my place in the cosmos. And thank you to Maria Canizalez Jerez from Manchester for making it possible.
Next one 21st of April, 1pm-5pm, The Yoga Rooms, 483a Barlow Moor Road, Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, Manchester M21 8AG
