Due to computer troubles and a momentary lapse of attention in January 08, I lost
all the email addresses (and email) I've collected over the past year and a
half... dang! I thought I was backing it up... turns out I wasn't. Lesson learnt. So
if you haven't had
an eMal update for a while, let me know, love, Mal

I won't be in the program due to my having been programmed so many
years in a row, but Bill, the boss, really wanted me there, so they're
employing me
just to be there and do whatever gigs and sit ins I want (and a few
specific things like a fanfare for the opening ceremony, etc). Opening
and closing night of the Chai tent for sure and I may
have a few other gigs lined up, so make sure you're on my
email list to find out where and when they're going to be. I'm
currently pinned down to play with The Borderers, Brides of Groove and
Rhythm Hunters and there'll be sit ins galore, for sure... yay!

I've got a few clips
up on YouTube.com and there's selection of them below.
And here's a bit of a blurb:
Vocal adventuring, multi-instrumental songwriter. Ballads, beatbox and beyond. A jolly jaw dropping journeyman. Eclectic, ebullient and even educational. Mal Webb uses a world of vocal techniques and writing styles and plays guitar, mbira, slide trumpet, chromatic harmonica, a loop recording pedal called Derek and the audience... a lot. A founding member of the Oxo Cubans, Sock and Totally Gourdgeous, he plays sometimes with The Cat Empire and Bomba and did the music for the Lano and Woodley TV show and Wogs Out of Work. Mal played mbira and sang "Eagle Rock" with Ross Wilson on John Safran's Music Jamboree on SBS. Ani DiFranco said "You're a freak!" after Mal played support for her. Mal has spent a lot of time mucking about.

I imagine you work very hard to do what you do - but add together talent, wit, a voice that knows no limit, FUN, knowledge and generosity to share it; take away boring, and all the stuff we've seen before, make it look so easy and then bring it to the Rhythm Hut at Gosford ... yay yay yay!

a review of more than 51 studies involving more than 294,000 children
it was found there was "no evidence that injecting children 6-24 months
of age with a flu shotwas any more effective than placebo. In children
over 2 yrs, it was only effective 33% of the time in preventing the flu.
I am moving back to Czechland so I missed you in the Beehive and I did not get a ticket to Glastonbury but I have sent all my friends to c you there - so you should have full house :-) You have to come and play in Czechland one day - we have the best beer:-)
