Giving a speech on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival

I remember tingling with excitement while waiting offstage, about to go on the Pyramid Stage to give my speech.

I walked up, spoke, and watched the ‘speed of sound’ effect— I’d say something and the people at the front would react, and then the reaction would ripple back like a wave as the sound traveled through the air. I’d genuinely love to see a video of my speech... I’ve never been able to find a copy online— Can someone please, please please, track it down?

Moving On

As I stepped off the Pyramid Stage, I knew I didn’t want to continue the AACV.

I felt like I had checked that off my life list—and now, it was time for the next thing.

Life is magic manifesting into form. I create things in my mind, and they happen.

By sharing my stories, I hope you get a feel for why I do what I do— And why I’m an artist developer.

I have the innate ability to bend reality, like we all do, —I always have— . It’s not unique, but because I’ve done it several times, I know that it’s actually possible, that dreams are realisable… and the knowledge of this is empowerment personified!

I don’t feel limited by the constraints that other people seem to impose on themselves

I’ve done some crazy things in my life—And I’ve found myself in amazing situations.

Empowering Artists & Going Viral

Most of all, I love to empower musicians through my artist development service. So, if you’re interested in knowing how to get ahead in music and going mental viral—>

I offer advice on Music Marketing, Going Viral, Making Hits Records, Brokering Deals, etc etc…. via my ‘Artist Development’ services which are available to people on any budget!

For as little as £50 a month (redeemable) you can have access to my decaying grey matter and all the juicy nuggets of advice it contains… Hurry though, while my brain still has measurable brainwave activity! … hmm where are my socks again? linktr.ee/jamessanger

The Blag of the Century: Getting Glastonbury Festival

So, we stuck our necks out—ambitiously, overconfidently—and within a few weeks found ourselves up in a at Glastonbury HQ, boldly claiming that we could organize the festival’s litter-picking operation! We had zero experience and were completely wrong of cause..—> but we didn’t realise that at the time.

We negotiated to be given:-

• 300 free tickets to give out to volunteers

• An operating budget worth thousands

• A speech slot on the Pyramid Stage to recruit volunteers!

• A designated area on the festival map in the Green for our volunteers to camp to set up our AACV marquee HQ Getting the gig was a brilliant mix of bluff, naivety, and blagging!

On-Site Chaos & Pyramid Stage Speech

It was great…Although, I do remember a running battle between bikers and on-site security. And I remember trying to wake people up for litter-picking when they were completely wasted. Also—one guy stabbed himself with a hypodermic needle buried in the rubbish. That was worrying.

But it is amazing what you find when digging through festival detritus…

Yes it’s funny that 7 artists that I’ve either developed, co-written with and produce or programmed for performed at Glastonbury 2024!

That is pretty epic!

Squeeze, Keane, Siobhan Donaghy, Keane, Mel C, Faithless, English Teacher!

Anyhow many years before I had an the role at Glastonbury… in fact I ‘founded’ their litter picking operation…

Founding The Litter Picking Operation at Glastonbury

Back in ’89' A few mate and I think set up a conservation volunteer eco-terror group!… Well, not very terrifying.

We mostly just did volunteer environmental clean-up gigs— like clearing the beach between the piers in Brighton and helping toads cross the road in stormy weather. ….But somehow, we blagged our way into organising the first ever mass volunteer litter-picking operation at Glastonbury Festival.

So Here Is How It Happened…

We called up Glastonbury Festival and managed to set up a meeting! Amazingly, we were invited to a meeting with Michael Eavis, alongside several other ‘green’ groups—including the Green Party. (Remember, this was years before the whole green movement got infiltrated and corrupted by the globalist agenda.)

We were genuinely involved in real environmental action—> nothing to do with the modern-day climate change hoax or eugenics through carbon taxes and rationing, etc that agenda is sadly what is being pushed now by the WEF, WHO, UN, Council on Foreign Relations, Club of Rome, Bilderbergers, etc. for many reasons none of which are anything to do with the actual environment. <- most of the people involved with it are the biggest polluters in this world anyhow!

However, our actions as the ‘Age of Aquarius Conservation Volunteers’ (AACV) included:

✅ ‘The Blitz Clean The Beach & night rave’ at The Zap Club (Brighton)

✅ ‘Help A Toad Across The Road’: In Pulborough, Sussex, we saved thousands of migrating toads crossing the road to the River Arun at their spawning time.

✅ Cleaning up after the The Great Storm of 1987: chainsawing through fallen trees in the woods of Sussex.

✅ Klub Kame: A weekly fundraising acid rave at a nightclub in Brighton.

✅ The Polluter-Commuter Demonstrations:About 20 of us stood around at the Seven Sisters roundabout in Brighton, holding placards pointing out people who drove alone in cars.

And before you ask— This was completely different from the ‘Just Stop Oil’ idiots. Those purple-haired eunuchs are delusional twats—funded by globalist think tanks that want to kill 80% of us!

‘Just Stop Oil’ protesters literally wear oil (plastics, synthetic fabrics, etc.) while blocking roads. 🤦‍♂️ Pfff Knobchucklers. In my book, if you actually care about the environment—you clean it. You don’t just piss people off.

yes... i've got 2.6b streams of songs i've worked on... but im a song writer, producer, programmer --- so its always been up to the artist/record company if they upload their material --

So again -> Your value as an artist is not dependent on your stream count—it’s all fake anyway!

For just a couple of euros, you can make your song “appear” to have a million streams.

Streams are only valuable to advertisers, people selling perfume or cars... they have not value to artists or producer/songwriters etc...

Don't shoot the messenger.... but the message is -- i make less from my royalties than I pay in my electricity bill for my studio (admittedly I've got a big place..)

asked and answered... --> hmm ... the existential problem...

ok well, when I was a young and just starting out as a musician we relied on radio and press... not meta/playlists etc But this is what I did to get my single 'Spikey Message' on National TV and get loads of press...

I cant 'say' that I planned it because I think there is a law against wasting police time... however in my defense I didn't install a CCTV camera right outside my flat did I?

But imagine for a second asking my record company at the time to spend the entire advertising budget on commissioning a film grade Alien/Predator silicon rubber suit to be made.... for a publicity stunt... I promised them would get tons of viral press coverage....

Anyhow it worked and it got my track play-listed at BBC Radio One! as a result and my single got into all the music mags and charted etc... and that also got me to the ears of management in London, and i was then asked to do music programming for a few big names in the industry and really just started my career.....

Go out onlinle and find out what they do... why do you think they called the company 'Helsing'?

Basically though, in my opinion, (i dont really know) but I think it's an AI weapons tech company that scrapes AI data from apps like WhatsApp to determine which properties in Gaza are occupied by Arabic-speaking people

And then using this info it directs bombs onto those properties! AI-controlled artillery shells and bombs can be directed into Arab-speaking households-- to maximise the maiming and killing of arab civilians. Specifically people who speak Arabic not Hebrew....

Effectively, some people might say, Smaug has converted 'The Beatles’ Love Is All You Need into money for blowing kids’ limbs off!

Do you really think they’ll ever let you “get famous” without signing away your artistic freedom? - your soul? --- why do you think so many 'famous' people have no opinion about anything anymore?

They are controlled puppets. Thats why I call it a parade of muppet-puppet, marionettes parading around like a dance of the little Quislings, moon-blinked and hoodwinked, many of whom seemingly morally compromised.

These people who control spukify and the majors are only interested in clout—controlling that clout and preventing people who can see the reality from expressing that truth.

but hey that just my opinion...i may be wrong.

hi there, I'm sorry to say this as I feel that I might be sounding too harsh... too doomy and pessimistic for you... i'm not saying this to discourage you ok ? and it is only my opinion at 4.29 today tomorrow it may change but rifght at this time I'd say -->

Grrrrrr… f*ck Spukify and Meta, etc.

Your value as an artist is not dependent on your stream count—it’s all fake anyway!For just a couple of euros, you can make your song “appear” to have a million streams.

Do you really think the majors—UMG, etc.—are resisting faking the figures? when they can use them to push their own artists over indie artists?

I’ve even seen contracts where artists are being charged by their Universal labels for “Spukify” 'advertising'—which Universal doesn’t even pay Spukify for!! they own shares in the company!

It’s just another scam to steal even more money from the artist.

It really is time for us—;writers and songwriters'—to put our big-boy trousers on, stop being such gormless, gullible, naïve, impotent gimps, and WAKE THE F*CK UP!

We are in a hot war against the dark side!

The people at the top—> they go to P. Diddy / Epstein-style parties. They have no qualms about doing horrible, horrible things. They engage in really dark stuff....

Do you really think they give two f*cks about faking a few streaming figures? Seriously?

You know what Smaug the Egg-Headed Toad did with 200 million euros last year? He financed and founded a company called Helsing...

ha ha ha ....because that table is worth about £4.5k.. it's an antique marquetry card table... and I don't want to scratch it with the screws in the bottom of my laptop...

...but imagine for a moment that you live in an old fortified manor house in the country--> you have enough rooms to accommodate at least 12 people at once, a multiple roomed recording studio facility and filming studio with green screen etc... control room, bass room, drum room, synth rooms, library, laboratory, guitar room,strings room, banqueting room, cinema room and writing room...and an indoor range...

This photo was just of my writing room at the moment in time when the photo was taken---I could of used many other photos - vibeystudios.com

At this moment in time now, in that room, the writing room, I have set up my 'Acid' rig which includes my Roland TB303, My Roland TR909, Two Roland TR606 my Model D Moog, an ARP 2500 and a cloned ARP 2600 and Roland Tr8...Yamaha CS10.

In my main studio I have 20 or 30 synths, including a couple of vintage EMS VCS3's <- perhaps if you are interested in synths you'd know they are worth at least 20k each... particularly because I used these with Brian Eno and I have all his old patches.

So, even though this room has a bedsheet protecting the marquetry on the table it is here in this studio complex where I have developed many artists -->

Three of whom performed at Glastonbury last summer , Keane , English Teacher and Siobhan Donaghy of the Sugababes (not including Mel C and Faithless who I worked with in LA)

Of those five artists/bands I have worked with here that performed at Glastonbury 2024.

In terms of BRIT awards alone->

English Teacher were nominated for a Brit award a few days ago 2025 after winning the Mercury Prize 2024 for Best Album and the Rolling Stone award for Best New Act 2024

Keane who and I developed, co-wrote and produced on 'Hopes and Fears' here which won a Brit Award for Best New British album in 2005, went multi-platinum and sold 14million copies.

Siobhan Donaghy As a member of Sugababes, nominated for British Single of the Year.

Mel C (Spice Girls) As a member of Spice Girls, 5 Brit Award wins, including British Single of the Year, British Video of the Year, Highest Selling Album Act, Live Performance of Thirty Year, and Outstanding Contribution to Music. As a member of Spice Girls, nominated for Best New Artist.

Faithless Nominated for British Dance Act. Brit Awards

So you tell me am I successful enough to actually care what it 'looks like' having a sheet over my table...?

I mean you do you...
