incoming

some things coming up...

17th october - i'll be playing electric bass (oh, the shame) with the insect explosion as part of the galvanised festival at cafe oto. it will be noisy.

21st october - double bass with the rick jensen trio at flim flam, ryans bar, stoke newington, 181 church st.

22nd october - the second sonnamble gig - at openlab, the roebuck, se1. i'll be playing lap steel guitar and conor will be making it sound interesting.

30th october - watson, marsh and may at the always entertaining scaledown club, the king and queen, foley st, w1. ian r watson - trumpet; me - double bass; paul may - drums etc. it'll look something like this, i suspect. though we may wear slightly different clothes.

gigs of the year pt 2

i've played a lot with lucy jane this year; originally (and still maybe at some point, i'll venture) a band, but at present just me and lucy. i think we've built up a good rapport and the songs seem to be gettng more stretchy every time we play them. even though the conditions we've played in haven't always been the most ideal the music's been mostly good and sometimes really lovely. here's a wee snatchette of us at the bedford in october 2008. it was a nice gig.
