Gong and The Steve Hillage Band- touring this year - I'm standing in for bass ace Mike Howlett.
Bill Nelson - a hero! - played at a couple of Nelsonica conventions - hopefully more work to come!
Metier - stunningly original, leftfield, quirky, jazzy - hard to describe but inspiring to listen to!
Andasun - Latin/jazz/groove/songs. Mat is a very talented musician, organiser and business man - a rare combination!
The Fraser Sisters and Jo Freya- folk. Jo is a great musician and friend. She is a star of the English folk world and has more strings to her bow than a many stringed bow.
Chris Ellis/Celeste Lovick - They write beautiful songs and they are beautiful people!

Hey there, just to let you know, we have two gigs coming up next week. These are battle of the bands events, so it would be great if you could come along and show your support.
On Monday 9th March, we have a gig at the Rescue rooms in Nottingham.
Doors are at 7:00PM, and admission is free.
On Wednesday the 11th March, we are playing at the Maze in Nottingham. This gig is the first round of the Mindvox Indie Band 09 Competition.
Doors are at 7:30, and tickets are £3.50 on the door.
Both nights will be a great time for all, and we would love to see you there. Make sure to spread the word too!
Sorry for the long lapse in communication. Loving your tracks. Can't wait to let you hear two of mine in particular - one featuring Race Newton and another produced with Paul Whittaker. All the best! Jonathan.
Hiya Dave. That was a nice session in Kings. I went to see the band from Quebec after that and then had a session later again. Its a good week. I've heard the name Dickie Deegan alright but don't actually know him. See you again at some stage I'm sure. Love to hear more of your music.
I'm very please to say Do the Dog Music will be releasing my solo album later this year. A big thanks to Kevin!!! Here's what they had to say...
We are happy to announce that the latest addition to the Do The Dog kennel of bands is Nottingham based acoustic ska sensation Liam O'Kane!
Liam is vocalist & guitarist for another Do The Dog Music outfit Jimmy The Squirrel & for this side project he has teamed up with Jimmy The Squirrel drummer Bainbo to create a really raw & rootsy organic brand of acoustic ska, reggae & folk that utilises instruments like acoustic guitar, Bogdon box bass, box drum & melodica, as well as loads of soulful vocal harmonies!
Following Jimmy The Squirrel's UK tour in August, Liam & Bainbo will be recording the debut Liam O'Kane album, which looks set to feature 10 or 11 tunes & will be released later in the year on Do The Dog Music.
