Your stated aim is to ‘teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future’. Is music a good medium through which to educate?
I have to confess to a fairly strong element of tongue-in-cheek in that statement – it’s something I wrote a few years ago because I thought it was funny, rather than that it was something I genuinely believed. Having said that, though, we have had quite a few people coming up to us after shows telling us that they’ve used our videos in primary schools. I think the way we edit the videos (ie slightly more in keeping with today’s attention spans) and the fact that there’s ‘interesting’ music alongside them might mean kids in particular are more engaged than they might otherwise be.
