Well I knew it was never ever going to be simple and I always try and remain on guard and vigilant in general for those spanners that appear regularly on the horizon. This one I saw coming for quite a while but hoped it would fall short or miss. In the end I decided I couldn’t ignore it and … Read More
“A Feast of Consequences” lyric
Feast of consequences I tear a page from the book of faces, Throw your letters in an open fire, I couldn’t say that I still despise you But I’m finding it hard to not to After all that was said not done it’s time this thing was over Did I want you to change your mind I don’t honestly think … Read More
Return from Durlach
ah well, back to the mountain removal and drama defusing business after a week on the balcony. Arrived home yesterday afternoon after a journey from Karlsruhe that zipped by so fast and fluid it was scary. Plagued this time by third party intrusions from UK that I couldn’t ignore but still rallied a decent effort on “Perfume River” and got … Read More

Foss finally arrived, yours truly still in a dressing gown after 2 hours ensconced behind a monitor screen playing ping pong on e mails, fielding calls and texts and a surprise drop in from my parents. Something quite bohemian and seemingly relatively eccentric to herald a … Read More
Touring
I’m sitting here in the control room listening to the rough mixes of the Saturday night performance at the Leamington Spa convention last year while contemplating the May touring figures in the UK. Many of you were interested and surprised at the last blog regarding the state of the music industry with regards to distribution and my survival ideas. … Read More
View from the Balcony
I just missed the dawn by a few minutes and rather it being a guilty reminder of excesses it was surprisingly from the correct side. Thoughts had been whirring away in the half sleep of early morning, spurred into action by the klaxon wailing out of the iPhone that had roused my girlfriend from my arms and into a shower. … Read More
Not the End of the World
It’s been an eerie last few weeks. The virus that took me out just after Leamington persisted for over a month and refused to give me my voice back. I traveled to Germany to visit my girlfriend carrying with me the up to date demos that Steve Vantsis had burned off at the end of a week long session that … Read More
