Seize the Day
Do I really need to tell you?... Seize The Day are a professional and innovative front-line band whose live concerts are exciting, moving and inspirational.... & they have kindly contributed the live version of their song 'I am Dust' from their third CD; 'Alive' to the 'Earth Stars' CD. The last few years have seen Seize The Day play their unique brand of contemporary folk music to broad and enthusiastic audiences at British, American, Indian and European festivals.
In April 2002 they returned from spending three months on a musical campaign tour promoting sustainable organic agriculture in India. They travelled around the rural villages of Andhra Pradesh supporting farmers and performing to policy makers to reject GM technology and western control. This year the GM cotton farmers who didn't heed their words discovered that their GM cotton harvest failed spectacularly costing many of them their businesses, tragically underlining the concerns they raised .. Christmas was spent supporting the Peace Movement in the West Bank, and facilitating Palestinian access to basic services such as water.
Seize The Day’s previous USA tour included a range of concerts supporting the Small and Family farmers Alliance in addition to fund raising for environmental campaigning organisations and challenging the American biotech industry's pollution of the global food supply. They wholeheartedly support our firefighting men and women to get a better wage and job security.
Seize The Day have also toured North America; performing as the headline band at the "Rally for Rural America" in Washington DC in front of 2000 U.S small family farmers, the Biodevastation Conference in Boston, the massive IMF/World bank Washington protest outside the Whitehouse, the May Day March in San Francisco and dozens of venues up and down the east and west coasts of the U.S.A. and Canada. During a previous tour of the United States a few months earlier, the band played to 5000 people at The Key Arena in Seattle on the eve of the WTO meeting as well as to 10,000 out on the streets from the side of a lorry!
Talented, clever, uplifting, inspiring, deeply moving.... they write & perform their songs superbly. Support them & do yourself a favour too... go buy all their brilliant CDs....!!
