Spent the evening finishing the artwork for my latest album, ready to send the first orders out tomorrow!
Rehearsing with HandMade Theatre today..
Busy rehearsing for first Christmas show this Saturday at Bonington Theatre, Arnold! Hoping we don’t peak too soon like poor Elfy here..
A fresh take on an old tune (or two)…
Just stumbled upon this, love the fragments of speech. Always fantastic to see music I’ve made from a different point of view…
The piece used is That Was The Day:
Also found this video, never of this Chava guy but he seems quite a character.
The track He Said, Life is a Question but Don’t Let Them Hassle You For An Answer comes in a little way through:
Woof!
Maybe I need to do some research, seeing as the one who has to listen to me screeching away for hours on end is of the woofy persuasion…
Work on New Album!
Will be spending most of the day trying to squeeze out something vaguely musical from this new creak ‘n’ drone machine! New album on its way soon…

Documentary…
This is a lovely, tragic documentary by Toni Poljanec. I was very touched when he used my track ‘He said “Life is a question, but don’t let them hassle you for an answer”‘ to end the film.

We have talked about doing a collaboration at some point, it might even happen if I can get myself into gear and out to Ljubljana.
