Haven't had a chance to write a blog for a while as I've been busy beavering away on my upcoming solo EP at the Truro college recording studios whilst maintaining the pretence that I'm actually just doing homework. Most of the tracks are now nearing completion and it should all be available in a few weeks.
I guess that's why I'm back really as I'll now need to try and fluff up my promotional erection so I can give each and everyone of you a poke in the eye with my spam-dagger of absolutely non-consequential music related news...
Item one of which, as you can see from the 'Monkey Island Memory-evoking' poster, is that I have a gig. For me, it's quite a good one. Sometimes I literally have to play in the rain by the bins, so it'll be quite nice to stretch out my feet in front of the open musical fires of Lusty Glaze's very first 'Woodburner Session'. I'll be doing two 45-minute sets and will be airing a few of my aforementioned new songs to the rain-soaked masses of Newquay - providing mother nature allows everyone in the vicinity to survive that long. Hopefully everyone lives, because the following week is American singer Ben Jordan who's got a far bigger promotional wanger than me, so any help giving the event a sharing will help me not end up looking as popular as a Jewish clown at a Nazi rally to the lovely people at Purple Gecko Events, who've been good enough to stick their necks out for some very talented local original songwriters - and also me.
Item two is that I'll be going on Source FM (106.9) this Saturday on Cornish Cream around 1pm to play a few songs from the new EP and have a little chat with Andrew about item one, but I'll no doubt end up talking about the best way to transport woodland creatures safely through urban areas or some other tangent...not because of me of course, but because of Andrew - who having worked as a DJ for so long is pre-conditioned to natter on in a variety of locally interesting directions, interspersed with the occasional witty and powerful insight on local issues of the day. It'll be a hoot either way I'm sure. So yes, if you're near a wireless transmitter or internet connection on Saturday morning might be worth a listen or maybe text in a question for me to answer about what it's like to eat your dinner out of a bin or something? I'll give a prize to the person who gets the funniest thing read out on air.
That's my news, god bless (save?) anyone who read all that
