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 […]
Walking home I passed the RBS building in Aldgate, the area where the new pavement has just been laid and new crossings installed, when I noticed a man walking towards me. He was wearing a smart suit with disturbingly shinny shoes. He looked middle aged and his hair was greying at the temples. As he […]
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
So it is officially the end of summer and about time too. As I sit here in my soaking wet trousers, shoes and socks, shivering and snuffling and smelling of wet dog, I remember what an utterly wonderful summer it was. Oh sorry, no I am wrong. It rained . . . and rained again.

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. […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
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.
In […]
I implore you to visit the Big Arena Records website and listen to some of the amazing, nay, astounding, podcasts by one Davy ‘Jet Plane’ Lawrence, aka Napoleon Fantastic. Your ears will weep with joy and you may have yourself a little sex wee.
Davy will be posting the ‘casts on a weekly basis, leading up […]
