      I’ve recently released my second album after spending much of the past 12 months writing & recording it. I tend to play a lot of open-mic events, as they’re a good barometer for which songs go down well and which sit on the shelf. I played a launch gig last weekend, have received some radio play, and also an online review. The album is ‘Night…Read More

          Thanks, I’ll pop a post over there. The second album ‘Night Call’ has a darker edge to it, taking some of its cues from ’80s/90s synth bands and brought right up to date. Soundwise, there’s elements of The Cure, Depeche Mode, Editors, Verve, Radiohead etc.

            You caught me when I was here, listening now — very cool! I can’t lie, I made a joke (my daughter and wife are in the room, as everyone took the day off), when I heard the English accent, I said, “Ah, maybe he’s a Chicagoan!” That was a joke because Chicago has a long history of singers pretending to have an English accent. I suppose Al…Read More

              Hahaha I’m 100% British, I live close to Manchester, home of Joy Division, The Chameleons, The Smiths, Oasis, and an absolute ton of other bands.

              I know Ministry and can see why you’ve mentioned the accent. I know RevCo better, I saw them many moons ago playing in Manchester. I remember that they wanted to bring live animals onto the stage…Read More

                I’m an American, from Chicago. The most popular band I played in — back in the 90s — had a singer originally from England, but he moved here when he was around 5 years old or something. He had no accent–but when he sang, bam, English accent! You know, there’s not a lot of demand for songs sung by guys with Chicago accents! Hahaha. Everyone in…Read More

                  I rather suspect that if I tried to sing with a fake American accent, it would be laughable! I’d probably sound like the Sheriff in The Dukes Of Hazzard 😄

                While I was never a singer — always a drummer professionally, even though my first instrument is piano. This was my attempt to jam a song I never played before (I had to stop playing after an injury causing tendinitis). So, this was me just looking up the lyrics and chords for the song and doing a bunch of first takes for Wurly, drums, etc. –…Read More

                  That’s a faithful version of the song, really good!

                  I don’t know if you’ve seen Carpool Karaoke with Paul McCartney, but he visits his childhood home and is recalling a story of when he wrote ‘She Loves You’ in the front room. Excited by it, he then walks through to the back room and plays it for his Dad, who says something like, “I like it, but…Read More

                    Yep, I saw it. I actually was a little too young for The Beatles as a kid and became a McCartney fan first. Huge, huge, huge Beatles fan. I didn’t play their music much as a working musician, but now, with pretty bad tendinitis limiting what I can play without pain to really simple stuff, it’s fun to just crank out a Beatles song. I know them…Read More

                      The surprising thing about seeing McCartney performing live is just how many songs we do know. I grew up after they’d already split up, and have very few of their albums, yet I know the words to many of their songs, which says a great deal about the quality of their songwriting. Whatever your personal goals with music are, simply stick to those.…Read More

      I’ve been preparing for our very first Love Music Hate Racism gig tonight in York – the original one 🙂 – we sold out a couple of weeks ago so it is going to be busy on the door!

      Well the gig was great – lots of teenagers having a lovely time (all so polite and friendly). Unfortunately an alarm went off several times towards the end of the gig and was eventually tracked down to someone vaping. We had to pull the plug half way through the headliner’s encore 🙁 From what we have pieced together from comments it seems…Read More

        Why apologize? This place was intended to be our outlet to express our love of music — and you’re combining that love of others and doing good in the world, I think that’s great and love hearing about it, even if there are some jerks here in there. Overall, it seems like the jerks — or jerk — was the minority; their behavior isn’t greater than…Read More

          Thanks @peterPeter – we are a bit down after a sad end to what had been a great night but certainly not out. No Pasaran as my friend Joe Solo and many before him would have said 🙂

            Fascists always appeal to the stupidest, most hateful among us, to manipulate them by their weaknesses (their hate for their fellow man), even against their own self-interests. Sadly, there’s always hateful fools who hand over their souls to them. I applaud you and all who stand up against hate. Fight the good fight, my friend.

              We’ll never stop – and you, my friend, have done the same by creating this lovely space where we can be safe away from the evil rhetoric that sadly pollutes some other forums. Onwards and upwards!

                Following on from my gloomy post earlier, early signs for the next gig being saved seem positive as the venue manager seems to have understood that the situation leading to the fire alarms being triggered was out of our control so (fingers crossed) we are still on for the March gig at the same venue! What a relief!
