The Gazebo Effect (as first defined by Albert Gully in 1946).  Dr Gully was Chief Medical Officer at Cranswick Hall Hospital in Dorset. The 18th Century Hall had been requisitioned by the Home Office for the convalescence of soldiers suffering from traumatic injuries sustained in the Second World War.   The idea of music as a healing influence which can affect health and mood goes back to the writings of Aristotle and Plato.  Dr Gully recruited amateur and professional musicians to come and play for the patients. Following these visits such were the improvements in their physical and emotional responses that the musicians were hired on a regular basis. As the patients were taken out and entertained from the Gazebo in the hospital grounds, the term the ‘Gazebo Effect’ was coined by the staff  who observed the feel good factor displayed following these visits.   More recently neurological studies into the phenomenon have conclusively shown  significant changes in cerebral blood flow and an acceleration in production of serotonin in patients responding to the Gazebo Effect.    And so we reach this point in time.  We invite you to take part in our little experiment.  Test the theory for yourselves.  In these times of gloom and recession, darkness and depression, float away with us in this small bubble of sunshine.  Come in and enjoy the Gazebo Effect……………..

Raining Blue 05:40
Raining Blue Too scared to take a chance To tell you how I felt So I drove away You wanted me to stay What did I have to lose We’re only passing through But I drove away Now it’s raining blue All my life of searching Just to get to you But I blew it all Now it’s raining blue The moment now is lost You offered me your bed But I drove away Chose raining blue instead All my life of searching Just to get to you But I blew it all Now it’s raining blue Now I’m driving still It’s nearly half past two Tears and broken dreams And it’s raining blue

Man Alone 05:29
Man Alone My only companions To help me through the long nights Are the memories, The ghosts of you and me… that haunt my room and my head. Three o clock, another cigarette And I can’t get over you, Why can’t I let A sweet woman of the city Help me to forget? The neon lights shine in, I am in blackness And they encroach, Unwanted trespassers Into my dark domain Lighting up my face… And my heart Three ‘o’ clock another cigarette And I can’t get over you, Why can’t I let A sweet woman of the city Help me to forget?

The Pattern 04:00
The Pattern I believe in The Pattern The Pattern is infinite and absolute and embraces everything that there is You can make no demands of The Pattern, you can make no requests Occasionally you can tap into The Pattern This accounts for telepathy,déjà vu, extra sensory perception However, this cannot be done willfully or be forced The more you believe in The Pattern, the more you will experience The Pattern
