Interesting sounds #2 - the daydream club
THE DAYDREAM CLUB   I discovered the daydream club when we shared the bill at the sunflower lounge in Birmingham. When I arrived at the gig Adam and Paula were sat in the corner looking too cool not to be in a band! They play beautiful acoustic songs with lush harmonies and intricate melodies. Adam, having studied at lLpa, is a wonderful guitarist and piano player. Paula has been a...

A show at The Yardbird...
I headed over to Rachel’s house at 7pm o’clock on Monday night to drive over to Birmingham to support RUE ROYAL at the THE YARDBIRD. It was the first show Rachel and I had done for quite a while without taking a PA, so the car seemed very empty. On the journey over we worked out the set debating if we should play a cover or not, we decided not. Although I have been over to Birmingham lots of times...

Saturday afternoon in the studio...
Yesterday afternoon I went back to Chris’ studio to meet up with Pete who is amazing cello player. I know Pete through the work I did with KANUTE a couple of years ago. Pete used to play in BUDAPEST and now plays with JOHN GARRISON for his solo work. Earlier this week I sent him the track and the music for Left to Hide. I was really looking forward to hearing what Pete would record. I...

A cold evening in the studio...
On Wednesday evening I headed back over to Chris’ Studio. The jobs for the evening were to listen through the cello parts we created in the last session, recording a bass line for Gunfight and recording the extra parts for The Whole Picture. I arrived to find the studio was really quite cold. It is a converted garage, a very posh one but it doesn’t have heating! I kept my big coat on...

ATLUM SCHEMA Atlum Schema, is Andy Mort, a wonderfully creative and inspiring individual, who is also  a very good friend. He writes very interesting songs and performs them sometimes with a band, but mainly just him with a collection of instruments, a loop pedal and alot of passion. He...

A night at The Nursery Tavern...
Last night I played my first gig for ages (the Ego gigs are a bit different) at the Nursery Tavern in Coventry. I had not been to the venue before and had a quick look on my phone before I left, however I still managed to turn up the wrong road. After a few U-turns I finally arrived and managed to just about find car park space on the street. I walked into the pub and headed for the back room or...

The end of 2010 and the start of 2011...
  On New Year’s Eve I played at Ego Restaurant and Bar in Lichfield. I played there last year and it was great fun and great way to see in the new year. I was joined by Tim on drums and Rach on vocals. We had a couple of rehearsals to work out songs as we were going to do all my songs and my groovy covers. We arrived nice and early to set things up. Rach had got some sparkly lights to make...
