****************************************************************************
I played in various bands (who can forget Cold Feet, White Line Fever [who once supported Osibisa!],The Giggly Pillows [one giggle only] and Items on Toast?) and solo in North London before moving to Brighton. The Brighton places I've played include, The Caroline of Brunswick, The Greys, Joogleberry Playhouse, Sanctuary Cella, Western Front, and Hope.
****************************************************************************
I've produced several CDs which I may sample in weeks/months to come, entitled Destination Star [2000], Something You Want [2002], Little Hit [2003], which had a fuller more electric sound, Rock Street [2004] and Briighter Day [2006]. The last two are just me on guitar and harmonica. [I play harmonica on a rack round my neck; there's no overdubbing]
In the past I've recorded with other musicians, including the wonderful guitarist Wes McGhee, but lately i've opted to record songs on my own, as I quite like the 'folksy' [ and dateless] feel. Coming from Hampstead North London, I don't think of myself as a folk singer: I suppose you'd class my music as 'singer songwriter', but I try to avoid unnecessary whingeing -- there's quite enough of that around already!
If there's anyone out there who lives in the Brighton area likes the sound of what I do and can play double bass or slide guitar or vibes it would be great to hear from you. Actually i'd be interested to hear from anyone who can play anything reasonably well!!
Bonjour Alastair! I have not been much on Myspace these days...and it's great to see you are also "on line"! In Geneva it's a big w/e for live music (Fête de la Musique) everywhere in the city and the sun is back at last! Hello and Cheers to you!
I'm looking for a lead guitar and drummer(rest is decided already)...style choice is up in the air. It wont be acoustic. If you know anyone let me know.
