New Tess Talks: Where Music, Art & Science Meet

On jamming for freedom with Cambel McLaughlin at the Jam for Freedom Festival in August...

https://drtesslawrie.substack.com/p/where-music-art-and-science-meet

Last week I had the pleasure of talking to Cambel McLaughlin, the founder of Jam for Freedom.

Cambel started the pioneering musical project on Hampstead Heath in London, December 20th 2020. Sick of draconian government measures, he wanted to get as many musicians as possible to meet, join up, and play together in solidarity. To "jam" for freedom.

The movement quickly went from strength to strength. In 2021 and 2022 Jam for Freedom garnered support from music legends Eric Clapton and Van Morrison, played at dozens of protests, undertook months of tireless touring around the UK and Ireland (despite so-called restrictions), welcomed more and more musicians to their collective and empowered thousands of people to step away from fear and refuse to comply with ridiculous instructions that didn't make sense. All thanks to the power of music.

It's grown so much that this summer will see the first Jam for Freedom Festival. Like their other events, it promises to be an oasis of positivity and infinite possibility in an increasingly strange world. Between August 4-6 you can see some of the best musicians in the world, eat organic food, do yoga, wild swim and watch comedy and talks. I'll be there and it's an honour to be involved.

I was thrilled to sit down and chat with Cambel. Too often, we look to the big, established acts to provide music and encourage an attitude that fosters a much-needed counter narrative to the establishment. However, what Cambel and his grass roots team have achieved is to bring new voices to the story.

Yes there were giants, like Clapton and Van Morrison who performed a few covid songs over the last three years but they've gone quiet now. The real change, as we are seeing, is coming from the next generation.

Festival 2023 statement
#jamforfreedom
We'll be providing financial breakdowns to show how expensive the festival was to put on in due time (approx 100k). In the meantime, here is evidence of the company which was booked in to install our main stage sound system and provide professional lighting and sound engineers which never happened. One of the many let downs at the festival, including our second stage manager bailing on us. Please direct complaints to Ben Stonehouse, the Operations Director at ben@eventsgear.co.uk

Unless you are a chartered accountant who has access to the exact costs incurred by what we have put on, creating narratives that the festival was a money grab by the organiser is completely unfounded and pure speculation. It was not.

There are also rumours that the festival received a 90k donation from Eric Clapton. This also never happened. This was an independently funded festival that is for the people, by the people.

Thanks for all the feedback and offers of support, we are dealing with them all as quick as can be🙏
