A few years ago my band played a gig near Nottingham. At the time we were called The Johnsons and we were playing in the palatial environs of Woolaton Park. It was a lovely balmy summer’s day in August. We were honoured to have a guest appearance from Enormous frontman Davy Lawrence on drum, that’s […]
The new Enormous album ‘Electric Baby Grand’ is now available to buy from the Big Arena Records website. If you do not already own this album I suggest you get a copy right now, it will be the best decision you have ever made. Singer/songwriter Davy Lawrence is one of the greatest songwriters of our […]
Why is Pete Doherty stalking me?
I constantly keep walking past him in the street. I often see him outside Whitechapel’s urchin drug music hole The Rhythm Factory – he is usually playing a residency in this bleak East End bar. I have seen him with his band Babyshambles, enjoying a drink on the grotty pavement. […]
Hello, I am back. I returned from the idyllic leafy confines of Napoleon’s little village last week. We had a brilliant time and I wish I was back there again. I could easily exchange the dirt, noise and loonies of London for family, nice food and conversation. Maybe soon.
You will hopefully be very happy to […]
This shall be my last post for a while. I am off up north to stay with Napoleon for a few days. We shall record some podcasts for your aural pleasure. I suspect we may also get a little drunk for our pleasure (well mine, I don’t think Nap enjoys drinking anymore). Keep an ear […]
It is with great regret, disappointment and a slight degree of anger that I have to announce that the forthcoming Enormous gig has been postponed. As you know, I was to make a glamorous guest appearance this Saturday, banging a tambourine out of time and squealing like a happy pig . . . in make-up.

“Coldplay…brilliant or bland?”
The answer: Bland…very bland….really really bland….dishwater bland.
Alan McGee, the former head man of Creation Records, once described the band as ‘beans on toast music’. Rather apt, I think.
Oh, definitely bland.
On the Nelson hi-fi […]
I know it is very rude to just copy and paste someone else’s blog post but this one is about me. I apologise to Napoleon but I love his writing and you really do need to pop over to Big Arena Records and check out his podcasts. Or popcasts, as they should be known.
This is […]
Last night marked the prestigious occasion that was the Glamour Magazine Awards 2008. Attendees included most of the Spice Girls, Lily Allen (who stole the limelight by virtue of having pink hair – now that’s talent), Kate Beckinsale (mmmm) and Dannii Minogue.
The winners were; Best Presenter for Fearne Cotton, Editor’s Special Award to Lily Allen […]

Davy will be posting the ‘casts on a weekly basis, leading up […]
