Hope you are having a good Holiday season! I wanted to let you know that i'll be touring in the UK in January with Kevin Montgomery, and we are playing London on Jan. 15th....at the Half Moon on Putney.
If you have a moment...here is a video about the tour- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0u6hDmd4As
I hope you can make the show..........until then, Happy Trails! AP
I was thinkning about all the people I have worked with and theres only been three people/DJs I worked with that actually had ideas in the studio and diidnt leave it all up to me.
YOU PERCY X RICHARD MILLER
Thats a rare thing and only a few can do that. on my own.....I learned somethiing from working with you, and thats valuble.
You def have an ear and a head of ideas, your far to creative though!!! so if you come back to Aberdeen you will be stacking shelves in Asda. Creative people dont get jobs in Aberdeen....
Eaon.... He also plays the guitar like an angel & one of the most naturally talented people I've ever met ... and I've met a few. Tickle on your tummy , Mark.
IM BACK AGAIN!! Stalking you. Just listening to all tracks. GREAT.
That was some great stuff we worked on. Saigon sent shivers up my spine just now and that doesnt happen often these days. Brando would be proud :). THAT track should be in a film for sure. We did that was an atari and one sampler. Its amazing how well the guitar sounds considering what we used. Limited gear certainly helps creativity. Im going limited again..
ACE.
Someday I do plan to do a deal with some download company as I now have all the rights to Hook Bellboy catalog. Of course your stuff will be there.
Hey Elvis, nic eto see you around here. You were undoubtedly the star of Bellboy Records. Im sure Carl Cox still has a special place in his heart for your track.
A TRUE CLASSIC INDEED. :)
Im just up so IM off to work on that thing we talked about. Bolan doesnt have a chance...:)
