Love Haiti - Thank You!

noreply@blogger.com (Darren Poyzer) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:35:00 +0000

Darren Poyzer - http://www.poyzer.com/

A gathering of good souls raised over a grand and counting at the recent Love Haiti concert, held at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, alongside a number of other fund-raisers in and around the city.

Yours truly had the privilege of playing a set alongide Fluff on fiddle, Kevin Farrell on acoustic guitar and Denise Brown on Bodhran. Also appearing were the likes of Brian Nash (Frankie Goes To Hollywood); Nigel Clark (Dodgy); Ian Prowse (Amsterdam); and Alun Parry.

Whilst this is only a small pixel in the big picture of disaster, it's important that we continue to do the good things, especially making sure we continue to feed the Third World during these torrid times of racial hatred.

Big thanks on this occasion to Clair Chapman and all at The Cavern Club, and all those who came along, did publicity bits and bobs and filled the room with love.

A little bit of common sense and decency wins over selfishness every time :-)

The Bonfire Boy

noreply@blogger.com (Darren Poyzer) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:09:00 +0000

Darren Poyzer - www.poyzer.com

Not often I turn out a little bit of poetry ...

the bonfire boy
by darren john poyzer
he had dreamed of the greatest fire
that stayed lit and shone out above all others
lighting an eternal beacon as a guide for us all
and that to create this fire,
we would all carry the things we had gathered to one place
and not light it until we were all ready
it wasn't the brightest night that time he arrived at the top of the hill
stood with his pile in his arms
nor was it the darkest
for as he stood looking down, he could see that they had already lit the fire
it may have taken an eternity of thought, or maybe an instant
but for what seemed like forever, he stood and watched
disapointed, maybe allowing a tear to form, but not to fall
it would be some time before the planets would align again
and the chance to build the greatest fire would again be upon us
so, he would turn around, carry his pile back to where it came
all things recycled, as is the nature of things lost and then to be found
and he would bide his time
I wasn't looking for anything in particular, or maybe I was
but I saw the boy recently, stood at the top of the hill
he had his pile in his arms, the time had come
and with great belief through pain and sorrow
he had climbed one more time, looking for the great fire
I was going to walk away but then I realised he was no longer a boy
he had aged, for he was now a man, still stood there holding his pile
he looked down, half-hopeful, half-sensing the greatest disapointment
ready to catch a tear, yet armed and ready to light the greatest fire
the world had ever seen
I sensed what he had seen
fire used to fight fire
fire used to destroy
fires so weak that they had been engulfed by darkness
then tossed in the faces of those who knew nothing
who only came looking for a little light, drawn to the charm of the glow
candles lit in the name of love, shoved in the faces of ex-lovers
men burning women, women burning men
the worst attrocities happening when planets meant to be alligned would stupidly collide
before once more, all would settle and retreat, to collect and re-arm
"idealist" they shouted, as if it were an insult
"yes" he smiled wryly, "I suppose I am"
I asked him about loneliness, was there anything he could teach me
for the journey that lay ahead
"only what you already know" he said
turning away, once more, so as to allow the fire to die
"there will be other times" he said
and yet I sensed maybe for him this wasn't true
those other times were his dreams
the ones that kept him awake whilst others slept
I'm not sure if I'll see him again, but I do know that in every child
I see the desire to light one fire, one love
that will last for ever, that musn't be lit until we are all ready
that takes all things lost and found, and keeps out the darkness that harms us
the greatest fire the world has ever seen ...

Washing Machine: New Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Darren Poyzer) — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:45:00 +0000

Darren Poyzer - www.poyzer.com

"Time, the gift, holds no guarantees ..."
Please pardon the 'self'; I have a new collection to promote and this muse is from one of my own called 'So In Love With You'.

From crawling and pushing for those first steps, to being amongst the smallest in school, to striking out of class, to that whole bigger life thing where you travel, pitch and prepare to embrace the amazing things, maybe never realising they were embracing you throughout; from your birth, through the here and now, to some future tumble and crawl.

I wonder if somewhere, in a Douglas Adam book maybe, there's an anology that shows the Earth as a washing machine, inside which we of many colours are shaken and soaked in chemicals, spun and dried out, colliding, moving places, never quite in control because gravity is an erratic master. And how mankind the scientist, the mathematician, the poet, the musician, throughout time has sought to understand the spin cycle, peer through the convex glass door, has sought to prise an opening, through prayer and machine.

You know I think the closest I ever got was one moment as a hormone fuelled teenager, when I got up to speed and shouted 'spin baby!' across some dancefloor somewhere. Can't quite remember the moment, but I'm sure it happened.

I seem to 'blog' a little less often these days. Maybe on a happy note, it's because my work and my music has brought a whole new reason for being. Maybe I've become distracted by positive actions a lot more, and maybe it takes days like today - when I both visit the doctors and mull over a disapointing live performance - for me to sit and reflect.

Those who've read previous blogs, please don't think I've mellowed - oh no!! Our churches are still being used by liars and hypocrites, our history is still being written in the blood of attrocity, and our so called economy continues to cause great pain and suffering.

That misunderstood word 'economy' is popular right now. Suddenly there's no money anywhere, and it doesn't take an idiot to realise that it is somewhere, and someone knows exactly where. In layman's terms it is being passed around small circles of greedy, selfish, so-called human beings, people for whom there is no reality, just an illuision of grandeur that sadly for them, only lasts until the day they die. The current economy makes people do things they do not want, for people who do nothing, for little of what they need. Result: crime, discontent, spiralling social conflicts. So what if it's in trouble? Just give those who need a wheelchair, a wheelchair. Those who need pain relief, pain relief. Dignity for every adult, a person centered education for every child. We have all those things available to us and so much more, it is the economy that takes them away and leaves us to fight amongst ourselves for what's left.

"What?" says the man in the pub, "that's bollocks". Ah yes Mr Man, you still live in this bubble of western culture where the weather is quite mild, the seasons are gentle and the spin cycle merely brings with it a delicate wash. Were your history lessons to teach you a little more than 'we won the war' you might just realise that the end of one conflict, is merely the catalyst for the next one. The fighting continues, even in your own home, where your own children's fears and concerns have driven you to soak solace here in the drink.

It's only just dawned on me that the raison d'etre of a washing machine is to create revolutions, cycles of revolution after revolution. But to what end? Are we really so dirty? Is this over crowded planet being driven to madness or some unseen heavenly purity? Is our solution simply a new brand of detergent, linked by 6 degress of separation to catastrophic ethnic cleansing? Vast nuclear arsenals, chemical warfare, blatant bombing and mass murdering of entire families for a cause justified by some hideous high ranking prat of a soothsayer, who claims not only can he see through the convex glass door, he can hear a voice from the other side. These things are the shadows that suffocate the sun.

I have so many stories to tell you. This statement says that I am still alive, despite moments when I've believed I was nearing the end. I hold many of my own stories back, so that you can find your own. I am not a selfish man. I am ready to embrace, and be embraced by, amazing things ...

lotsoflovenstuff as always,

"The biggest surprise from the day came in the shape of Darren Poyzer, a Mancunian singer/songwriter with charm and talent on his side.

Full of the wit of a comedian and the musical skills of one of the greats, Poyzer kept his modest crowds attention throughout. Not even the shock appearance of the Storm Troopers put Poyzer off as he posed for pictures."

Love Will Tear Us Apart - where can I find it?

noreply@blogger.com (Darren Poyzer) — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 11:14:00 +0000

Darren Poyzer - www.poyzer.com
It's been my lovely pleasure to have played the most beautiful, dark love song at a number of gigs this year, to find many requests for a recording waiting for me on my return home. Therefore here's the update on where and when:

Love Will Tear Us Apart (Darren Poyzer solo) 2009
Update soon, I've laid down a solo version for the forthcoming 'Bloody Love Songs' collection, due April 2009.

Love Will Tear Us Apart (Darren Poyzer with John Ellis on piano) 2008
Recorded somewhere out front, there's apparently a bootleg doing the rounds featuring the brilliant John Ellis (Lily Allen / Corinne Bailey Rae) on piano, recorded live at The Legendary Manchester Busker @ Matt & Phreds in June.

There's also a Live In Wolverhampton version, and a Live In Runcorn version ... I have these somewhere, kicking aboput on rough mini-disks, so I'll go listen and see what's worth keeping.

Love Will Tear Us Apart (Poyzer, Fluff and Farrell) 2007
Produced by Nigel Stonier, this studio version was recorded at the very end of 2007 and is a co-owned recording. Out of decency to Kevin and Fluff therefore, I've not set out to distribute this, and I don't think we'll do anything with it unless we decide to promote the trio as a practical gigging and recording project. However, it can be found on My Space as none other than Peter Hook (Joy Division / New Order) has obtained a copy and is promoting it via his My Space page as a 'country' version :-) ... here ya go, enjoy: www.myspace.com/peterhookneworder

Glastonbury 2009

Had a massive time at Glasto, superb ...

My big personal thanks especially to Biggles Wartime Band who made it happen, and were brilliant as always, a true Glastonbury highlight!

Big thanks also to Fluff on the magical fiddle and the Croissant Neuf people, who's bandstand provided some truly memorable moments.

It's The End Of The Year As We Know It ...

noreply@blogger.com (Darren Poyzer) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:55:00 +0000

Darren Poyzer - www.poyzer.com

Time is a four letter word. No sooner are we in the moment we are out of it again, and whether that moment be a cutter or a groover, we move on and ultimately it's imprinted in some ghostly form, to be recycled as future hopes, fears and potential.

Hello, my name is Darren John Poyzer. At this point some people will stop reading and go elsewhere. It's cool ... even the man perceived as the son of god had his detractors. I am this age, that age, seen more often digitally these days than real life, and then in real life judges depending on whether I am binge eating or not, wearing a blue hat or worried brow, passing on knowledge through teaching or throwing an acoustic music party somewhere.

I have this year twice been on the very edge of giving up the very thing that has been my heart and soul work for so long, that being songwriting and live performance. And yet here I am, buzzing on a mix of outrageously fun shows and beautiful acoustic gatherings, and about to record a new batch of songs that have found me reaching once more for melodies and creation, the like I thought I would never reach again. I will be careful though - this time last year I was investing money with friends into studio recordings, and we literally came down like a stick ... the recordings were great, however that whole thing that comes with moving forward, making commitments and all that, I guess was just too much at that time. There's that word again ...

This year it's more of a me thing with the new songs, and I think in hindsight it has to be. There's so much of the personal in the things I write, that whilst there's potential for self-indulgence, this is little more than airing some personal observations, so I ain't being no precious boyo. Oh no ...

Like everyone I will end the year looking back and looking ahead - that's the opporutnity this time in the calendar brings, and whilst this is the cut of my very being for a little while, I do sense in the back of my mind there will be a time when my writing will exorcise my demons and I will indeed stop, and allow the moment to simply be, to rest, to embrace a little closure and who knows, maybe some satisfaction.

Of course outside of music, there's the life that is love and passion, family, friends, the bigger picture, chance and opportunity. I could share so much of that with you here and now, of course I can, and yet I find that whilst typing on a keyboard might be good for the occasional rant, there's nothing like the scent of real flesh and bones to get us right down to the nitty-gritty of human relationships. So, we'll meet again, some time, and let's talk, look each other in the eye and embrace with real feeling, if the moment says this is what we should do.

For now, for always, for Christmas, New Year, and your own time of life,
I wish you the very best with surprises and joy,
Darren :-)

Hello!

I hope this finds you and yours well and happy :-)

I'm coming to the end of my 'gigging year' so this could well be the last of the occasional newsletters for 2008. Nevertheless, there's still a few special things herein, and I hope you find lots of interest pointers ...

The first news in the New Year could well be the long overdue new collection of Poyzer 'Bloody Love Songs' which has new momentum with some more new material now written and ready for recording.

My last 'headline' original song set of the year promises to be extra special, with lots of good friends and wonderfulspirits gathering in a small, cosy magical space.

And at least two quite wonderful brand new songs will feature; these days such things are a rarity for me, so when it happens and the songs are as together and dynamic as these two are, it's all a little bit exciting.

Jon Orpheus is hosting, and the promise of a David Gordon set plus Roydan Styles adding extra zap to the occasion makes this an event to look forward to..

And oh yeah, it's free admission :-)

The sound system is top rate, the people who attend like to listen and respect the occasion, and this being a proper music venue, it's a big step up from noisy disrespectful pub gigs.

Of course if you come to play, we do look to share the respect thing, so please, a word ... if you wanna turn up, talk to your mates, play then show no interest in other people, don't bother.

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=15109867&blogID=431793444

Three albums I'm treating myself too having heard preview recordings, and I highly recommend these, amongst many other things actually ...

George Borowski (www.myspace.com/georgeborowski) - and let's say this again, why is he not the world star he should be?? - has released his long awaited follow-up (in spirit) mto The Bait, a return to the recording form that stands this wonderful and magical songwriter out from the masses. Things to do before you die: go see a George Borowski concert :-)

My good friend Chris Difford (www.chrisdifford.com) is also in sensational form with his new material and recordings, two Ivor Novellos in the bag and with occasional Squeeze tours now back on the calendar, life can't get much sweeter for those who enjoy his low range souldful voice.

And finally, Kenton Hall is a fractured little genius, someone who I shared a songwriting credit with in Italy last Summer, and if you like that warped indie sound, his band Ist (www.myspace.com/ist) have a new album that truly is a gem.

Enjoy and stay clear of the mainstream :-)

Educational Projects Update

I've updated the 'Tuition' page at www.poyzer.com/workshops.htm and this includes two new projects:
