New album on the Doorstep.

Last night we appeared on the radio show hosted by 'The 5th Blue Yellow' himself, Tim Lee.

We had a friendly chat about the new album, Kitchen Sessions and played some live acoustic tracks in the studio, it was fun!

An absolute pleasure as always to chat to these loveable reprobates #theblueyellows about their upcoming album launch and where their musical passions lie. A nicer group of people you could never meet. If you missed the #doorstepmixtape show on @redshiftradio tonight, it’s now available to #listenagain on #mixcloud , just search for ‘Redshift Radio.’ @jonniegitahhr @dave_the_drummist

Get the Blue Yellows single 'Toast the Night' and pre-order the album 'Kitchen Sessions' now!

Buggs on Air.

Today I joined the youngest band I know, acoustic rockers and students of mine, The Buggs!
This was for a radio session on Redshift Radio with host and presenter, Kel.
Owain and Dylan did a great job, playing and singing so well!
They will also be joining us for the launch party for Kitchen Sessions by my gang, The Blue Yellows on March 1st.

The Kitchen roll out..

So, as the forthcoming album made with my gang The Blue Yellows and with another talented friend Tim Lee on Production duties, the roll out of promotional activities has started;

Firstly, the single Toast the Night became available on Feb 1st along with the option to pre-order the limited edition CD (see link above).

On Thursday night this got it's first ever airplay on Redshift Radio thanks again to Tim and his superb Doorstep Mixtape show.

Then last night, Friday, we eschewed our usual rehearsal for a live Q and A about the album (watch at the bottom of this post).

Tim also blogged about this here (thanks Tim!): https://timleesongs.wordpress.com/2019/02/09/live-vinyl-a-weekend-of-musical-opportunities/?fbclid=IwAR3i9GPwyOyNLQ1NY7oprJplxdI5KcN1Z06BDUi5KSxzxSbheq5lKMQ8umk

More over the next few days and weeks too...

We (#TheBlueYellows) did a Facebook-live Q&A on our forthcoming album #kitchenSessions with special guest, our producer @timleesongs from Em's kitchen where much of the album was made. It was good fun but the last few mins were chopped off somehow, so we missed thanking everybody involved boo hoo 😢 watch it at facebook.com/blueyellows #livestream #qanda #band #bands #livemusic #newmusic #production #musicproduction #CD #newslbum #behindthescenes #howtomakearecord #livetracks #sessiontracks #Kitchen #interview #bandinterview #broadcast #protools #cubase #livebroadcast #facebookisdeadtome

FTUMCH!!

Well here's a thing, lately I've been helping out with some playing, singing and songwriting in a joint project with my very talented bassist/production/composer friend Rob.
More on this as time goes on me thinks.
Stay tuned!
