£3 on the door, good tunes on the stereo, friendly people, smiles.

Jamboree is at 566 Cable Street, it's real close to the Limehouse DLR station, go to Bank and take the DLR two stops, easy.

'Solo' gig on Monday 6th October

Those quote marks around 'solo' are because this will be the second attempt to get someone to come along and play melodica and noises when I do my mellower set. This time my old compadre Raul is in the firing line, let's see if blazes on stage or fades away.

Either way this will be a quieter and more peaceful affair than the last two rock shows. I know for a fact that 2 of the other bands playing this show are mighty fine so do come along if you can.

There's a last.fm event thingamy here

Video of me on flickr (playing 'Now all my ships are all off course')

At the recent Silver Rocket birthday show I played a solo set. Kelly V. captured most of this song on video.

What's up Jack? Songs and a gig

I've not posted any new songs for a bit but that's not because I haven't written any. Oh no.

I've been working on a whole bunch of new tunes for what will be the 4th CD. They're all short garagey rock songs and need drums to make them work. The plan is to record in late October, once there is a bunch of good of tunes. I have 12 so far but I'll keep writing and pick the best.

Boy Howdy and I will be trying some out at our next gig - which is:

Monday 8th September at the Windmill in Brixton
I believe it starts at 8pm and will be dirt cheap
Ben from Superman Revenge Squad is putting this on, full details on
http://www.myspace.com/myfriendskillmyfolks

I reckon our set will be about 50% new songs, it all depends on how many we learn, the Boy and I have 2 practices to learn some songs before the show.

The 3rd CD is held up at the mastering stage. I don't know when that will be ready, it appears to be cursed with delays. Still it should arrive before the 4th one. You'd hope.

Gigs coming up North and South

Saturday 2nd August: The Good Ship: Kilburn
289 Kilburn High Road, NW6
8pm
============================================================================

This show should be the solo debut of the JM show. My drummer friend Liam is otherwise engaged. There may be stout assistance from Dr Mulhall on melodica and other noises but at present we haven't tried that out. Let's consider that possibility as only good to soft for now.

Either way a different set and different bunch of songs from the previous 2 shows.

Monday 8th September: The Windmill: Brixton
22 Blenheim Gardens, SW2
8pm
============================================================================

The excellent Superman Revenge Squad is putting this on. So although I have no idea who the other bands on will be I do know that it will be good. And the windmill is a fun hangout.

I have no idea if there will be drumming at this show, turn up and it will be a surprise, probably to me too.
