I am happy to say that I have been rather prolific of late with the old songwriting. I believe it is a truism that black moods lead to more artistic inspiration and I have been rather inspired these last few months.
I am really looking forward to mid-summer when I am booked into the Davy Lawrence […]
Recently, on the brilliant blog-tastic website of my good buddy and probable big brother Napoleon Fantastic, there was an excellent gag about the new Obama family dog. He titled his small piece on the subject Bo Selected, Bo being the name of the 6-month-old Portuguese Water Dog. I found this to be very comical, capricious […]
Tonight I shall be heading off to Brixton Academy to attend the Shockwaves NME Awards 2009, the glamorous indie gift giving, drinking and debauchery celebration. Will I see you there? I sure hope so. I still have not decided on my outfit but I can assure you it will be overblown, outrageous, glamorous non-wearable and […]
Yes, tomorrow is Remembrance Day. I am not talking Armistice Day here. Remembrance Day was a rather famous early 80s pop-synth ditty by the band B-Movie. They are playing a gig tomorrow at the Town Mill in Mansfield.
I shall be in attendance. The rather wonderful Enormous are playing also. This is something to really look […]
Enormous will soon be playing a gig,
It is going to be very big,
I don’t know if I can make it,
My boss is being a git,
They are playing with B-Movie,
It will be truly,
Enormous
Hey baby, at last I have recorded my first musical podcast series. My visit to the Davy Lawrence studio saw me put the finishing touches to my acoustic album ‘Half Nelson’. This glorious aural treat is soon to be released on Big Arena Records and will be available on the website. The podcasts are to […]
Just to pre-warn you - I shall soon be taking a short and well deserved break. I am off to visit my family in the East Midlands. The original trip was meant to coincide with a performance by the mighty Enormous but that gig was cancelled at the last minute by the powers that be. […]
‘Tis the season to get married, or so it seems. All I hear is talk of stag dos and hen nights. Once upon a time these consisted of a drink of an evening, now things are far more complicated. An evening with select friends and family has now expanded into a weekend away. Trips are […]
I was stopped in my tracks again on my morning walk a few days ago. As I was passing the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel a man pounced from the entrance door steps. He did a crazy star jump and landed directly in front of me, legs akimbo and arms skywards. He had on a […]
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 […]
