Permaculture Music

Who is Involved?

Here are some introductions to the people involved in initiating this project:

• The PermaYouth projects
• Charlie Mgee and Formidable Vegetable Sound System – Charlie says:
  • As far as ‘permanent culture’ is concerned, music is about as universal as it gets. Let’s use it to regenerate our planet! All cultures have music and songs at their heart. 
  • When I first started the band, someone told me they thought that singing about permaculture would be about as interesting as singing about accounting. After over a decade of recording, touring to major festivals and even getting an award or two, I like to think we proved them wrong!
  • Songs are the best way of storing and sharing knowledge and inspiration and have been used for generations to sustain some of the longest continuing cultures on Earth.
  • Music brings joy and entertainment to our lives. By celebrating music and permaculture together, we can all create the resilient, sustainable, healthy and regenerative world we want to live in and transform our lives and communities into ongoing festivals of participation, reciprocity and abundance.
