Professor KayossProfessor Kayoss is master of the dustbin,the skip, the yard sale, the school jumble, the odd looking pile of stuff in the road. He is the King of the Wombles! He is an entertainer, artist, poet, rapper, sculptor, archivist, enabler, and the most inspiring educator of the recycling and enviromental message in the UK today.
His music, wacky bicycles, and inventive comedy shows have made him well known and loved in the UK Festival scene. He has perfomed at Glastonbury every year since it began. The brainchild of Des Kay, who was the founding chairman of the Kingston Green Fair in West London, one of the first in the UK and certainly one our biggest inspirations. Check out his website at http://www.professorkayoss.co.uk/ Des's Kinetic sculptures have appeared in galleries, festivals and in the Tate Modern courtyard.

Save the World Club RapWe live in a world moving faster and faster
Heard it so often we're bored with disaster Governments seem to be losing their grip Nowhere to jump from this sinking ship The bigger the problem the smaller we feel But the things that we do help the planet to heal Chorus: Make a change, Make a change, Together we can make a change, Switch off a light to save energy Don't fill the kettle to make one cup of tea And to recycle the paper, the metal, the glass Stops the landfill tips filling up too fast Avoid buying objects you don't really need Resist the temptation of envy and greed Don't get caught in the consumer trap That's just part of the Save The World Club Rap Realise the power of the individual Remember that love is a special tool We're knocking down our Berlin Wall Don't obey no special rule The planet is sending a rallying call By losing that conformist mould You follow your heart, not what you're told Thousands of people throughout the land Doing their thing and making a stand Actions and deeds that free the mind Get rid of those thoughts of a guilty kind Nurture the earth with a velvet glove Coming up from below on a wave of love This changeover is moving fast This ain't fashion, it's going to last By being part of this solution You join in the planetary revolution So love the world for all its worth Between us we will save the earth |
