Sausage fingers accurately descibes me and me porksome didgets! Despite this handicap, I still manage to get a note or two out of the four string wonder machine that is my violin. I also dabble in the "doom box" viola, electric violin (Jordan 5 string- www.Jordanmusic.com), Voice and guitar. I have been lucky enough to write/play strings on albums of the following artists... Alice Russell-Tru thoughts, Quantic-Tru thoughts, Bonobo-Ninja(New Album...mmmmmmm!....), Nature BoyLou Rhodes-Infinite bloom, Bah samba, Natural Self- Breaking Bread, Oddur Runnarson, Martin Messent, Mawglee, Mummer. As well as my own band(Gypsy Swing) The Magic Number www.myspace.com/themagicnumberswinguk, I also play stuff for... The desperate ones, The Mountain Firework Company, Mab. When I can't be bothered with all this creative stuff... I remove furnature from peoples homes and drive them to places in a lorry... and sweat alot in the process..... I think thats it... goodbye!....love you...x

DUB SKA FUNK HOP PARTY JUGGERNAUT PLAY LAST SHOW OF THE YEAR!

KING PORTER STOMP with TIN ROOTS @ THE BRUNSWICK, SAT DEC 12TH.

We're very happy indeed to have been invited back to play a Christmas show at the Brunswick. We're gonna be joined by our festival friends and wicked roots reggae groovers, Tin Roots, so expect a whole lotta skanking and stomping around with the odd mince pie chucked in.

We'll be fresh from our South West mini tour and it'll be the last chance to catch us play before we go into hibernation to record our new album at the beginning of the new year...we may even give you a sneaky taster of what's in store...it's gonna be fat and funky for sure. We're planning knocking 2009 on the head with a bang so please come down and experience us burning off all the calories we've got and lifting the roof in a proper stomping party stylee.

It's hopefully gonna be rammed so please get your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment, and they're cheaper!

Tickets are £5 in advance from www.brunswickpub.co.uk.

Hope to see you all there x

It's the end of our 23 date UK festival tour tommorow and there's nothing better to do in a 500 mile radius than to get down to middle farm to celebrate the apple harvest. Drink vast quantities of local cider, hang out with the farm creatures and listen to the best bands in the south east! It's £7.50 per day and well worth it!

LINE - UP....
SATURDAY 12pm The Magic number... 1pm Boys in the wood... 2pm The Resonators... 3pm Django Spears... 4pm King Porter Stomp...
SUNDAY 12pm Peanut Albinos... 1pm The Curst Sons... 2pm The Anteaters... 3pm Shofar Allstars... 4pm Kalakuta Millionaires...

Find Middle Farm on the main A27 Lewes to Eastbourne road, between the villages of Firle and Selmeston. The nearest stations are Glynde (2 miles) or Lewes (5 miles). Post code : BN8 6LJ
SHUTTLE BUS!! ON BOTH DAYS. 10:05 / 10:35 AND ONWARDS FROM LEWES TRAIN STATION. 10:30 AND 11:00 AND ONWARDS FROM MIDDLE FARM. Last one 6:00pm. This only holds 20 people so dont bank on getting the 5:30/6:00pm one back from middle farm

Love to see you there!

Hello Mike :)

Big hello from France and the couple of girls who were in front of you at Sete, at this incredible gig in front of the sea, along with Stefanie McKay.
You have impressed many of us with your magic fiddler!

:D

Would love to work with you some day, hey, who knows!

Take care and see you in France, probably at another Alice Concert :)

Good vibes,

Bonjour à toi



D'ici nous devons traverser le temps, l'espace, remonter à la source et, sans cesse, réinventer le lien.
L'African Armure comme objet de seconde peau est confectionnée dans l'esprit de la mémoire africaine.
Fruit de voyages et de rencontres, la marque s'engage à respecter l'équité et la noblesse de ses racines.
Je veux cette ligne métissée et protectrice.
Parce qu'il existe en chacun de nous un ailleurs.
Endosser l'African Armure c'est choisir le style et les valeurs.

Que l'esprit africain demeure.
