Real Love and Communication in the YouBloom Music Awards

Last year I got through to the semi finals of the YouBloom Music Awards with a song entitled Mañana. It got heard and voted on by a team of judges from the music industry headed by Bob Geldof. Whilst my song didn’t get any higher in that contest, Bob Geldof gave it a score of 10 and Sarah Lewitinn, who is a DJ and music producer, said she would never forget it. So I made a name for myself with the YouBloom judges.
This time I have a song entitled Real Love and Communication entered. It is the “Dance mix” of the song which also has been released as an acoustic version on the Green Man Festival CD album. I collaborated on Real Love and Communication (Dance mix) with the late Chris Swambo, who sadly passed away in 2001 after suffering from a brain tumour. Chris used to play in the legendary Shockhead, a South Wales psychedelic rock band fronted by Crum, a former keyboards player for Hawkwind.
Chris Swambo was also known as Sqwab and Ned Zero and was also part of Crum’s band The Moonloonies.
Real Love and Communication features backing vocals by Cardiff singer-songwriter Denise Tiley, who is commonly known as Den. Chris Swambo added lead guitar, flute and production to give it that electronic Dance sound.
The song’s intro is a live recording of the Druid’s Oath that had been recorded in Bath and featured Tim Sebastion, the Archdruid of the Secular Order of Druids among the voices chanting it.
Real Love and Communication got taught to the school-children in a school in Garachico in Tenerife in 2009. This was so it could be performed in their Peace Day celebrations along with John Lennon’s classic Imagine. A boy called Juan told me he thought my song was “better than John Lennon’s”. It was a very proud moment and one of the greatest compliments I have ever had.
Please help Real Love and Communication (Dance mix) to get through to the next round in the YouBloom Music Awards! You can vote for it at: http://www.youbloom.com/ybsc/entry/2843/
