Before my Bio here's a video made from my song "The Hulk" from the the film by ANGRYBALDMAN666. He's done a cracking job. Check out his site in my top friends, he's got more videos on there.
I play guitars, and keyboards, been writing songs properly for the last 12 years, been in a few gigging bands as well as playing solo stuff. I write a mixture of songs, some are funny some are sick some are just observations and some are sad. I also parody a lot of songs especially when I run out of Ideas. The songs that are on the playlist are my own lyrics as are the chords unless I've parodied something. I will be swapping the songs regularly so keep looking. Some stuff might get me into trouble though!!!
I regulary play at Ilkeston Folk Club, which is at Stanton Institute every wednesday and The Borough Open mic in Ilkeston on the first monday of the month, also I've played at The Variety Club in Lenton, Raffles, Hotel Deux and White Lion in Nottingham, The Greyhound in Beeston, and the Five Lamps in Derby, I've also been playing a few gigs around the Ilkeston area including the Bottom End Bar, The Gallows Inn and the Football Ground and am looking for more so give us a message if you are interested.
Previous Bands:- A Band called Flynn Rughead Freeloader - not the semi-successful one (they nicked our name - You Bastards!)
Thanks to:- Richard Fisher for helping with the recording of "God is gonna save the day" Alan S Robinson for recording the Demo "8 Songs 'bout Eating, Shagging Killing and Wanking"
"NecroBlues", "Born to Rule the World", "Santa Dies", "The Hulk", "God's gonna save the day", Vowed not to let you go" and "Wifebeater" are now gone. "Necro Blues" can now be found on my Shabby Road site as can "The Hulk" which is still on the video above, If you want to hear "Born to Rule the World" go to the Ilkeston Folk Club music page at www.ilkestonfolkclub.org.uk/MUSIC.htm and If you want to hear "Wifebeater" its on the Ilkeston Folk Club web page(In my top friends)
If you would like to buy a copy of "8 Songs..." then message your details and for the measly sum of £2 (UK price) in cheque form, I will mail it to you. If you are outside of the UK then the price will depend on the postage costs. There will also be another cd coming soon, it's about finished, I'm really pleased with the stuff thats going on it, I'll keep you posted
I now have another site which I will use for some other studiostuff and for recordings of other people, it is in my top friends under Shabby Road. Hopefully there will be more songs coming up soon.
I now have a ISOUND page you can find me on www.isound.com/crusty_jamrag not much on it yet though, i'll keep you posted.
Here is a video by Robyn Skud from the Ilkeston Folk Club on the 4th July 2007, of my song "Granted" - Thanks to Robyn
Please checkout the New Music podcast "Rough Dogger" www.roughdogger.co.uk, It's bought to you by part of the Parkhall Live team (Big Z and Senor Tris) and has some great music on it (I'm on it aswell). They also have a myspace site at www.Myspace.com/roughdogger, but the Podcast is not yet on it - Anyway it's worth a listen, Padcast No.1 has Alice Rock, Deep Insignificance, Arcadia, Me, Iain Collison, Patchwork Grace and Dip and possibly the bestest, smoothest DJing you've heard this side of trifle.
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
