No one goes home humming the light show.

Sept 2nd, 2016 (evening)

Gig number 2 of the day, the setting being this tranquil little town's most bohemian pub, The White Horse, and a support slot with one of the very best bands I've ever seen in my life, the incredible Pre Sleep Monologue. Do yourself a favour and check them out! I don't understand how they are not playing big halls or even arenas, but they will blow your socks off wherever you see them. It was more of a rock crowd of course and I raucoused it up a bit compared with the earlier food fest gig.
After playing so many open air festival gigs lately it was great to hear a closer, more boomy, edgy sound back in the confines of this place, aided by the brilliant sound-guy/muso Al Dean.
Thanks all!
P.S. Thanks for the rad light show from Foxy Carl Foxley's feet!

The awesome Pre Sleep Monologue.

March 16th - Sealed with a grand night out.

Piano jazz/pop maestro Tom Seals and quality axeman Al Dean put on a great show on Saturday night as Tom Seals and Friends with their band, they managed to transform the rather, well,  cosey.. Cosey Club into a kind of buzzing New Orleans Jazz venue.  As well as myself Tom's guests included new acoustic duo Roadside Dinosaurs who played a well-measured, emotional version of Black among other things, one of my all time favourite tracks by Pearl Jam. I played Big Low Copper Moon, Galleries and No Tobacco , on the latter being joined by Mat from the Dinosaurs (and indeed mega-electronic 80s band Human Condition) on the Cajon and Tom himself on the piano. Jammed but rocking! Thanks guys!
