#90 #Born Discipline #craig bevan

Check out the latest video from my very good friend and extremely talented Craig Bevan (@MrCraigBevan). Not only is this a cracking cover that will tickle your musical taste buds but he's giving away a free T-Shirt from the equally awesome Last Exit To Nowhere. If you're into films I'm sure you're already aware of these guys if not check 'em out, they're not your usual film T-Shirts.

The big Hamster wheel in the sky...

Yo!

Well… An eventful week…

On Wednesday last week I got invited to an Open Mic night at The Hop which is in the Granary Wharf area of Leeds. I'm very glad I accepted the invite for a few reasons. Firstly, it's a really pleasant venue, and the chap who runs the night is a decent sound engineer as well as a decent performer in his own right. I'd highly recommend those in the Leeds area to pay a visit one Wednesday, I know I'll be back there for certain! Secondly, I got to meet the tremendous Tom Clarke AKA Tomathy's; Tom is the boyfriend of my good YouTube buddy Natalie Holmes, and twas an absolute pleasure to put a physical personage to someone I've been internet bantering with for over a year now!

Some chap has polled mine & Ciara's cover of I Won't Give Up as the number 22 best YouTube cover for January 2012, which is very kind of him, must work harder to get above 22..! Here's the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVDzZ_YvewU&sns=em

Yesterday, I was due to take our Hamster to be put down. Only to discover that she had died before I was able to… She was only a small (and not overly friendly for that matter) rodent… But never the less, she has been a member of our little family for 2 & a half years now, and it's never pleasant when one, no matter how small & furry, has to depart. :-(

I'm playing at 3 weddings this year, and I've just had an equiry for Summer 2013! They apparently have not even booked a venue or exact date yet, but want me to play! That's a very nice compliment indeed! I am turning into Adam Sandler! Haha!

I've had 4 separate, unrelated requests for an MP3 of my Sonique 'It Feels So Good' cover within the past 3 months which is a little strange…!? So I'm thinking of setting up free downloads for any future cover songs I do (I can't sell them of course, as they are not mine to sell).

It's also suddenly dawned on me how little time I have to get the EP ready for release! In the grand scheme of things, I don't need to do a huge amount of work, but it's still work all the same… especially to get things as perfect as possible.

Anyhow, get some questions flying in to me, so I can answer on the next Blog.

Julie Ann Love asked a question the other day: "Will you write a song about me?"

Julie, I will! I promise! I find songwriting tricky at the best of times. It doesn't flow like other people I know. Sometimes it can be a real slog to get something written, but I will endeavour to write one about your good self for certain! I just cannot promise on timeframes… :-(

I had lots of Cheese the other night. I had strange dreams. The End.

I Won't Give Up!

Hey hey heyyyy!!!

So, I hope y'all have seen my latest YouTube video…?

Here's the linky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVic2MRARyY

Be sure to check out more of Ciara's choons as well! http://www.youtube.com/user/ohheyxcutie

A few things are rocking my days at the mo…

1. My good YouTube buddy Jen Miller: http://www.youtube.com/user/jenerallyxspeaking is getting things underway for her EP! Which is gonna be tremendous! God damn that girl is talented!!!

2. My good friend Tristan Ofield (also on YouTube): www.youtube.com/user/tristanofield has provided me with a most excellent cover design for my forthcoming Live EP… It's not 100% yet, a couple of tweaks needed, but it's very nearly there, and as soon as it's ready I'll post the cover here for y'all to see!

3. I'm hopefully playing at St. Bowell's again in the summer as part of their village festival! You could say I'm back by popular demand! Yesss! So will post details once they are all confirmed, and it would be AWESOME to see some familiar faces there if you're able to make it!

4. The kittens are letting me sleep a little better. This helps my mood and productivity tremendously!

I'm currently involved in a 4 person Collaboration at the moment, and desperately trying to find time to learn and record my parts… I'm hoping to get a couple more collaborations sorted over the next few of months as well, but maybe I need to do a couple on my own again…? What do we reckon? Also… What is your personal favourite cover of mine & why?? A bit of market research will do wonders for future releases! Hehe.

Finally, I mentioned it below, but I'm still deciding if I should get hard copies of my Live EP as well as a digital version…? PLEASE let me know if you'd like a hard copy. If I get enough requests, I'll get some pressed, if not, I'll stick to digital.

Nice one folks! Enjoy!
