As explained in the previous post Pickles Northern Adventure didn't happen, and yes the old slag is still having her gears tickled three and a half months later.
Never the less I did make a micro tour up north at the beginning of the month starting in Sunderland with an interview and a few tunes with the dudes from Spark FM.
Then heading to do a show at Ye Old Yard Tapas Bar in Darlington http://www.tapasbar.co.uk This is a great little place, quality food and drink, friendly staff and just a nice crowd passing through. Pete the Owner is a diamond bloke with a love for music so if your ever in town pop your head in for a bit and say hi.
Tying in with the show was the presentation of the new Tom Dibb Custom Cajon from my good friend Spence, director of SGPercussion, who kindly accompanied me for a load of the set as Sass (josh) was fannying about in New York.
Bang tidy bit of kit! Mums, Dads, and lovers get your Christmas presents here http://www.sgpercussion.co.uk/
I then rounded up with a show at a joint called The Royal Standard. A music pub in Sheffield run by an awesome bunch of guys also known as The Velcro Teddy Bears, an acoustic Rock and Roll band well worth a look up at https://www.facebook.com/velcroteddybears they also do a bloody good pizza at their place for a most affordable price.
Look forward to hopefully catching up with them again in the festival season.
That was about it, like I said pretty micro but met some cool people with some ideas on other venues to tap up, so next year (Pickle providing) we'll give it another shot.
In the last couple of weeks I made a visit to Tropical FM in Luton for a bit of a play and a chinwag about the VW festival Tour in the summer past and the Lost EP which I believe should be available for viewing at some point soon from http://www.tropicalfm.co.uk/pastshows
Went to do a Balcony TV sesh with Janet Devlin, Whose single "Wonderful" is out today so go score your copy at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/wonderful-single/id734421995 Now!
But yea cool session that'll be available to see soon, so watch this space, and got to watch Turin Brakes perform their new single "We Were Here"
Then go watch them at Shepherds Bush a few days later. Sick!
And thats whats gone down really.
Currently finishing up a recording of a cover that I'm gonna be putting out as a free download very soon and I know its been bloody ages again but the "My Inspiration" video is done and ready to go out its just we gotta wait a little longer before release as there are a few other forces potentially intertwining with the whole thing.
I'm planning a cafe nero cristmas tour from London BBC studios through to and around wales the week before christmas so if there is any where in particular you would like me to call through then please give me a holler via the website, facebook, or twitter and I would love to come see you.The dates will be confirmed by the end of next week.
Finally If any ones in the Hertfordshire area this weekend I will be playing at The Steamer in Old Welwyn on Saturday the 30th so come get involved https://www.facebook.com/events/753609751319437/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular&source=1
