I did it. A winter has been avoided and now London is illuminated in a wonderful golden glow. I just wish I could get out of my tall concrete office block and enjoy it.
I can see Union Jacks fluttering in the gentle breeze below me in preparation for a Royal Wedding that appears to have captured the imagination of a nation that I thought wouldn’t be interested. We don’t get many opportunities to celebrate ourselves in this country, and it is refreshing to see some unbridled national enthusiasm that is inclusive and liberated from the narrow opinions of the far right. That said it does sadden me that it takes a royal ceremony to galvanise some collective celebration. There are so many other reasons for us all to come together and have a good time.
Alessi’s latest album entitled ‘Time Travel’ is out now on Bella Union.

I was listening to 6music yesterday and Heard a gushing endorsement of Alessi’s Ark, a London based singer song writer who has been touted as a huge talent on this site for a number of years now (2009 weareinvolved mention). It’s always satisfying when the rest of world takes notice of something that you have known for a long time, so as I heard the glowing reviews of her second full length Album broadcasting out to millions courtesy of the BBC, I sat back with a smile on my face. It appears that truly quality and potential will eventually be recognised, even if it does sometimes take a little time.
