Squeaking your Language

I survived panto. It’s behind me.

Finnish on a song

I’m in Panto. Oh yes I am.

The rather wonderful Cart Before the Horse crew are staging “Soup from a Sausage Skewer” at the Bookmark Theatre in Bloxwich this Sunday. Our first performances were last weekend and we have two left to come.

Off to play in Kenilworth

I’m playing a gig this Thursday in The Tree House Bookshop, Kenilworth.

We’re kicking off around eight in the evening, and it’s free entry (we’ll stick a hat round at some point) and everyone is welcome to join us. It would be lovely to see you.

Selling Up

In 1997 I persuaded my Dad to let me spend the inheritance I was due to receive the following year. I blew the lot (not a huge amount, but enough at the time) on a brand new synthesiser. It was a Roland XP-10, and I’ve used it ever since.

My first ever proper solo Blues gig.

I have just been asked to leave after four songs at my first ever solo Blues gig.

Messing around in Notes

Improvisation. Why is it when I want to, I can’t, and when I do, it’s almost unexpected? I have been improvising all my musical life. It started by swinging the quavers in simple melodies in the very first piano books I was given to learn from, and continues to this day. I love to sit down for half an hour or so and just let rip.

Diversity in Sung Worship

OK, I’m a worship music geek. I’m not a trend setter, nor a dedicated fashionista, but I do have certain standards.
