About “2525” – Performed by Enigma & Friends
“2525” is a contemporary parody and tribute to the 1969 classic “In the Year 2525” by Zager and Evans — reimagined for the digital age.
While the original warned of a distant, machine-dominated future, this new version brings that prophecy into sharp, satirical focus — with entirely new lyrics that chart humanity’s descent (and dependence) on screens, social feeds, and artificial intelligence.
Performed by Enigma & Friends, the song blends haunting atmosphere with wry humour, echoing the tone of the original but with a distinctly 21st-century pulse.
From Wi-Fi survival to VR obsession and Mars-bound billionaires, “2525” takes listeners on a futuristic rollercoaster — both a mirror of today and a mock prophecy of tomorrow.
This is not a remake — it’s a reinvention: a reflection of our times, seen through the same lens of wonder, warning, and irony that made the original unforgettable.
Ashes on the Playground – a powerful protest song against the killing of children in wars including the Ukraine and Gaza,
giving voice to grief and outrage that should never be ignored. In 80 years since WW2 we have learned little.

This beautiful entry in Eastbourne Unplugged 2025 takes the innocence and wonder of
a children’s story and turns it into song. It’s warm, hopeful, and filled with light — proof that inspiration can come from anywhere.
“‘Where the Lights Went Out’ is a country-rock reflection on the Wellington that once pulsed with concerts, big games, packed venues and waterfront nights that felt electric. It’s a nostalgic look at how the capital slowly dimmed, and a hopeful reminder that a city’s heartbeat can return the moment people decide to make noise again.”
