Who are we?A group of Acoustic Musicians and artists bound by a belief in nature and community, with a range of feelings and experiences through our relationship with the earth in common, with its base in the protest movement and the inspiration to revitalise traditional seasonal gatherings. We are seeking to promote environmental awareness, sustainable lifestyles with a DIY approach, an expanding self-sufficient family / community taking collective responsibility on the frontiers of something new, a multicultural, living tradition, not bound by mainstream views with a common sense of dress / low cost clothing and common mutual understanding / independent thinking, an organisation that is going to spread our music all over the world and encourage others to do the same. A bunch of dreamers who believe dreams can become manifest in a world where people realise that we are one with all things. WE ARE A PEOPLEretracing the roots of our ancestors, |
The Tribal Voices Co-operative has grown from the magic of the campfire, from the sense of comradeship we have found, coming together as one people to fight against the destruction of our common heritage: Our sacred sites, hallowed hills and ancient forests are under constant threat from modern lifestyles, consumerism, "growth", building, fast cars, new roads, pollution and destruction
Gathering the tribes at the head of the Dragon' on Twyford Down,
we made our stand. Empowered by nature's forces and a tangible
connection with our ancestors - We focussed on our cause with painted
faces, music and pixie pranks - We defied the diggers and the media
looked on with interest.
We held the moral ground, Non-Violent Direct Action was news at
Twyford - M11/London, Solsbury Hill, Newbury, Fairmile and many other
protest camps.
Four years later, the roads programme has been cut back, the
Government announcing that there will be no more new roads and an
ever growing army of ordinary folk who are prepared to say "No" to
the injustices of our society. We have time to reflect on the
messages we are giving to the public, to become even more
environmentally aware, to find harmony with nature, living low impact
lifestyles.
We find our true identities.
