Mearfest carries on as a platform for beautiful and incredibly powerful music, art, poetry and discussion. We are here to raise awareness and to raise funds for Stillborn and infant loss. We receive letters and phone calls from people from all over the world wanting to talk and share their experiences Our own daughter Molly was born sleeping at 40 weeks. Her legacy lives on. In these difficult times we carry on and today we share one of the large family of bands we are connected to "The Room" The wonderful uplifting track The Golden ones " MEARFEST IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL KINDS OF REUNIONS, COLLABORATIONS AND SMALLER MIRACLES, HERE IS TEE RETS LEAD SINGER FROM RAMPANT TELLING IT HOW IT IS..... "Last June's Mearfest South was Rampant's 1st return gig after 38 years, returning with 3 new members. So much has happened since and it has been a cool journey in my personal musical life. Until I joined Bawls-Out in 2017, doing our first gig at the 2018 Mearfest warm up I hadn't fronted a band since 1993. I haven't looked back since I'm loving be back in the loop. I've met a load of great people these past few years and I'm playing with some brilliant players who I am truly blessed to be playing in bands with.
This pic was taken at that Mearfest show last year and Rampant are very much looking forward to our special guests slot on 7th June this Summer. It's gonna be a cracker this year, joined onstage by 'The Young Rampanteers Kids Choir', also pictured here, backing us in our newly recorded and soon to released Mearfest anthem 'Angel Of Dreams (Beyond The Stars)', a song of Molly with words by Brian Mear with proceeds to the Mearfest charity. " Let her shine through
cloaks of darkness let her light the dead of night light from deep and hidden memories shining hard and shining bright let hope be always shining from us from our hearts within our soul let Molly bring us all together share her love and make us whole so let's shake off that cloak of shadow let her show your love inside let's fill our World with all her colour and no longer will you hide every one of us burns brightly each one of us can define so let this hand of coloured splendour be a beacon let it shine ! This design was based on a fantastic acrylic on canvas painting which Judith Fulton had created for us. The idea came from Verina Charlesworth a dear friend of Mearfest's. She wanted to have Molly's handprint but with Amélies rainbow essence within. It works so well, we have it proudly placed upon our wall at home. Now all this..... Martin Walkyier-Maia is our loyal t-shirt guy, he has only gone and worked his magic again, along with his graphics and printer guys. The new look "Molly" shirt has arrived It's bold, bright and beautiful After several days of worrying and fretting over Mearfest due to this Coronavirus outbreak, finally we have something to lighten the mood There has been a lot of thought and planning into this design Molly's hand is larger. Mearfest wording is much smaller. It's very different from our traditional rock shirts but then again we are very different, setting the bar high. Please help and support us and wear Molly with pride. And Molly Smiles Xx The Eagle has landed! Saxons Eagle with John Slim wearing his "Molly" shirt in Dusseldorf tonight.
