More musical flavour, fewer calories
2010 is the year of the musician! Well, for me, at least – and I’m freakin’ LOVING every minute of it… It occurred to me that I don’t usually blog about what I’m involved in, so I thought I’d take up the habit of blogging about all my musical shenanigans. That way my ‘thousands of fans’ (aka [...]
One song per month in 2010
Exitproject (the band I’m in with the Ninja Butler) have decided to write and record one song a month in 2010. We’ll then release the whole she-band as an album with snazzy artwork and pictures of our smiling faces We’re going to document the whole process with pics, in-the-studio videos and blogs on the newly [...]
Folk Tales and Magic: Charity gig in Bristol
The Jist Some of Bristol’s finest folk musicians, storytellers and magicians gather for an evening of fine entertainment, all in aid of a wonderful cause at The Folk House, Park Street, Bristol, Friday 22nd January. I’ll be playing with a friend of mine (we call ourselves Emigre when we’re at home) – we’ll be playing [...]
An octave mandola, an expat and a laptop walk into a bar…
When I married the Ninja Butler in 2005, my Mom and Dad gave us a guitar and an “_blank” href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave_mandola”>octave mandola that they made for us. My Mom did mountains of research to source materials and my Dad worked the wood. It goes without saying that my jaw hit the floor when I laid eyes [...]
When a chick plans a stag do…
Stag Do: “A stag do is a party held for a bachelor shortly before he enters marriage, to make the most of his final opportunity to engage in activities a new partner might not approve of, or merely to spend time with his male friends (who are often in his wedding party afterwards).” – Wikipedia [...]
Knock knock. Who’s there? A cellist…
Knock knock Who’s there? A cellist. A cellist, who? A freakin’ cellist, that’s who!! The Ninja Butler and I (like all other humans, mammals, birds and bugs) love the sound of the cello. There was hardly a finer sound. So tomorrow we’re meeting up to jam through a couple of Exitproject songs with a snazzy [...]
I’m the best man
Yes, that’s right. I’m the best man… in my brother’s wedding. In about 2 weeks. Oh God… I have to write a speech… I’m now facing the dilemma, how much to let rip? The feeling of power is intoxicating, actually, but mingled with nerves and excitement. I imagine this is what an “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_%28chocolate%29″>Aero feels like. [...]
Fuzzy scarf + vintage button = Love
Sunday is a day for church, naps and crochet – so far I haven’t taken a nap, but the rest of my Sunday plan is going well! Eliza (goddess of all things wool and knitting related) usually lets me raid her yarn stash when I head back to Chicago. There’s always some bits and bobs [...]
United Breaks Guitars
1 broken guitar, song and music video later – revenge is sweet. Apparently United got in touch with Dave about 24 hours after he posted this video. It already had about 600,000 views by then… a little late, people! Dave now has a scheduled phone call to discuss what ‘United can do for him’ next [...]
Exciting news? Maybe :)
So I was contacted by a guy today that was looking for ‘a voice’, I did some research and found out he’s won all these awards and written music for national ad campaigns and stuff… Sweet! Nothings happened yet, but it’s nice to get the email, y’know? It put a smile on my face [...]
