A Musical Journey through Storytelling, Dramatic Soundscapes and a PURPOSE!

Who Are Free From Gravity?

Hi and thanks for visiting my webpage/ My name is Vince Barnes and Free From Gravity is my baby and has been since abut 2010 - but it has been a long and sometimes twisted journey along the way. 

My journey started with a simple idea, my DREAM! To play in front of 10,000people and have them sing along with me to my songs. That was in 1994!

Along the way, I met some homeless people. They all wanted to change their situation. My simple notion was to try and help them do that.

HOMELESS PEOPLE DESERVE BETTER!

They deserve a safe place to stay, a bed to lie in, a warm place to live, food to eat and an opportunity to work. Just like you and I. And we are only 1 salary payment away from hmelessness ourselves. 

On my journey I met Simon, who’s story was amazing – he borrowed £500 from The Big Issue to buy a guitar, and literally busked himself off the streets.

Then there was Dave, who I bumped into outside the local supermarket and asked me for change, who inspired the song Tea, Coffee or Something

And Russell, (and Lexi) who I found a job with accommodation, (it was a caravan but he earnt a good wage and didn’t have to pay for the caravan).

And Paul, who stayed with me, and then my brother, while he found his way. Then a year or so afterwards we helped him again by giving him a place to stay and a job.

I have met others along the way and they all had a unique story to tell. And I want my music to be a positive force for change in their lives by highlighting their plight, playing concerts to get much needed clothes or food, and raising money to help those who can directly help them.
