HERE'S TO A 'LEAF LEMONADE' KIND OF DAY! ;)
SWELL FELLA'S
A few musical & artistic positive thoughts on this gloriously, gifted sunshiny day!
... We can complete our inside through expressing outside. Positive thinking – say what you want out loud, visualise it, hear it, see it, believe it. People who live with passion can do this…we can all do this!
GIVE ME SOME SUGAR
If we teach, write, paint, sing, dance, parent…sculpt, love and give! – by naturally engaging in these outward activities we understand and define ourselves inside ;)
From our experience, A life of passion occurs when your emotional nature marry’s a consuming vocation! Another clear quality, which may mark us, our high levels of vulnerability, and courage. We of course each have self doubt and sensitive spots that can predominate us, to which we must KICK ASS to!
EXPERIENCE YOUR TALE
We play with knowledge, ideas, skill sets etc.. We do this as children do – exploring the issues of play ..or even better music! Children use imagination to self explore, learn and understand their emotional intelligence, history and purpose....
WRITE YOUR SONG
Conformative or non conformative – elaborate on meaning . We all care what others think of us. Though, if one has enough passion we are often less swayed by the tyranny of public opinion :)
THE BEST IS YET TO COME...
Through the in-perfect, you allow yourself into open view. To live a successful and even amplified life. Be a multitude of contradictions (if cleverly done) Soak in the expressive mess you are, indulge in your inner self…Make yourself a work of art!!
A tasty thank you to our dear friends- the super splendour Phil Sproson Photography for the cool images and to the deliciously musically talented Pete Simpson on drums ;) Whatever you do today be sure to enjoy a little music and lemonade leaf love! X

JACK: THE SILVER TONGUED, QUICK WITTED & CHARISMATIC ONE!
Jack has a natural talent for music and comedy, alongside a splendid soulful style. As an accomplished musician and writer…( for too many years than he would wish to confess) Jack - one skillful side of the Riviera Blue creation, sings lead vocals and plays the harmonica and lead guitar - as only he can.
He also has a keen eye for …voluptuous vintage vehicles, antiques and the finest tea in town!
