Al Parkinson - Uke-strumming badass on living your whole life in your passion, and the community at the heart of music
"In my life I'm all about relationships and I think that's why I love music so much. It just builds this amazing community of people, and I get to surround myself with lovely and talented people, whether they're musicians or not."
What a stellar show this was. Al Parkinson and I hit it off right from the intro and the audience was right there with us. It was a dream. Unfortunately, as with most lovely dreams, it was cut off early by an electronic device. In this case it wasn't an alarm, but the recording device, which carped out at 25 minutes of a 70 minute interview.
Oh, the things we discussed! There was some really fantastic material in those last two thirds. Those of us who were lucky enough to be there on the night got to hear about premonitions, the act of creation, finding a thousand routes around writer's block, and how writer's block might not be a block at all. All the more reason to catch our live shows at Some Velvet Morning, huh? I console myself with the words of John Lennon: "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted." As a bonus, it means we have an excuse to bring Alvis back on the show, asap! Until then, enjoy this short and swiggety interview.
