   About Jonnie Common
My name is Jonnie Common. Making music makes me happy. I think.

What I've got going on just now:

Down the Tiny Steps
- I write songs under the name Down the Tiny Steps
- through this, I have become part of the wonderful Fence Collective
- I recently scaled the band down to a 3 piece in the interests of my sanity
- we've just finished a new demo and will be playing a few gigs down south over the summer.

Inspector Tapehead
- Chris has recruited me as a full-time member
- He's looking to get an album finished over summer 2008, which I've been heavily involved with.

Small Town Boredom
- I helped Fraser get his home recording setup together and I've been helping Fraser & Colin with their next release.
- Its basically broken down like this so far: when they want to start recording a new song, they get me in to engineer/produce it so they can concentrate on performing, then I go away, Fraser tweaks it this way & that, then I'll come back in and varnish it when he's agonised over it enough.

Remixing
- I've got a couple of remixes on the go just now but I won't go into detail til the artists have given them the thumbs up.

Producing / Collaborating
- I'm slowly getting artists I like, round to my home studio to put down a song or two in a fairly simple format. Then I'll add / chop / rearrange them in my own time and send it back to the artist.
- I've got 3 such tracks up on this page. (Although, in Adam's case, he sent me the guitar/vox/banjo through the post, but its the same idea).
- If everyone's on board, I'm thinking of maybe realeasing a compilation of these tracks once I've got a few more in the bag. We'll see.

Podcasting
- Chris Tapehead and I have been trying to get a Podcast off the ground but we barely manage to get enough time together to do Tapehead stuff as it is. We have the best intentions, but maybe we didn't think it through.

Four Eyed Films
- I've made a few music videos for DTTS so far. Pretty lo-fi stuff but always improving. I've got a few ideas for the new DTTS tracks so hopefully, I'll get some time to put them into effect.

If you're interested in any of the above, drop me a message. Be it general interest OR looking to collaborate musically / visually.

Hoots!

Hello.
This is a poster for FENCE CLUB #5: The Bulleit Sessions.
It's quite small. But if you CLICK ON IT you'll see a bigger version, which you can read with your eyes.

If you can't be bothered to click, here's all the relevant 'deets'.

Fence Club is a semi-regular event that showcases the range of hairy-talent on the Fence Records label.
The Bulleit Sessions are an exciting series of Fence Club nights in Edinburgh and Glasgow, taking place throughout April, May and June 2008.

This Friday, 6th June, marks Fence Club #5: The Bulleit Sessions - taking place at Stereo in Glasgow - and will feature live performances from The Pictish Trail, Player Piano and Come In Tokyo.


Tickets are £8, advance, from www. fencerecords. com - and £9 on the door.
Every ticket holder will receive a free 7" record at the end of the night, and free entry to the club night afterwards with DJ David Barbarossa.

See you Friday, aye?

To be honest, the song with Dunk giggling away makes up for any absence of Haggis Blues.

Cheers!
