“If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that’s a problem. Peace and love are eternal.” ― John Lennon
History repeats itself, and we are not much different from those who were young in the 60s. The world is relatively calm but full of tension and our greatest wisdom stayed the same: make love, not war. We are the generation who is here to comfort Mother Nature, who is here to be loud about equality and empathy, we are the believers, we are the ones who start the new revolution of the spirit through art and music and poetry and great thoughts. We are them. We are us. We are Generation Beat.
Step into a night of spoken word poetry, visual arts, and music. It’s all about the 60s, where the new meets the old, where the shy meet the loud, where we bring an actual guest from the 60s and then dance to the music of those who got inspired by the decade.
Little Suspicions
Self-described ‘moody romantics’, Little Suspicions formed in February 2020 following a chance meeting between friends Joey Lyon and Conor Toner and vocalist Moritz Meyns in a London pub. Sharing a mutual love for Scott Walker, 60’s theme tunes and Dion, the trio began writing and recording songs in their Kent home analogue studio – with the later addition of bassist Craig Barden adding the final piece to the Little Suspicions puzzle.Whilst lockdown may have been a stalemate for many people last year, it gave Little Suspicions the time to write, record and grow. With infectious melodies and wrecking crew beats, the band quickly gained attention with their first two singles; nominated “Hot New Band” by Spotify UK as well as Fresh Finds on BBC Radio.
