Hi all, I’m afraid there was a problem with a batch of my Demo CD and some of the bad bunch were sold at COTTINGHAM SPRINGBOARD FESTIVAL.
I have spoken to most people and have sorted them out but I still need to track down ta few other people I can remember selling them to.
A big guy with a beard…You where a star, you bought two…now they probably don’t work, I’m very sorry get in touch !!!
A young tall gothic guy with long hair and a red haired girlfriend who came from out of town…was really annoyed at myself that out of town people had got duff cd’s…don’t hate me, just get in touch and I will sort you out.
The new batch are fine and I am doing everything I can to get working CDs to the right people, let me know if you want any.

SO WHAT IS THIS MUSIC? I HEAR YOU ASK...
Well, Basically I got bored playing with myself (sort of speak) so I began to use a couple of old delay pedals to get a bit of a beat going that i could play over, I guess you could say that since then things have got a little out of hand. All the above tracks are live takes and all recorded with just me playing, sampling, singing and pressing effects boxes... all in real-time.....this AIN'T KARAOKE KID!!!.

LATEST UPDATE
AUGUST The Highlight of this month has been playing the Cottingham Springboard Music Festival, it was such a cool cool weekend and one I will always remember, thanks to all who worked so hard to pull it together.
JULY t has been a busy month, I've had some really nice words written about me in both Sandman and Tenfootcity....Thanks guys!
I am going to try and capitalise on this exposure by playing out more; if you are
a promotor, work in a club or are in a band that needs a support act, please, please get in touch; the music scene is tricky to get into as a solo performer and I would love the chance to play to new crowds.
I am trying to get some demos finished to represent my latest nine songs.so far I only have some very patchy versions, let me know if you want to see them on here and I might post them
Haha, stupidly busy! I have just started a new job in Abu Dhabi and flew in at 8pm on Sunday. The weekends here are Friday and Saturday so i'm looking forward to getting out and about and seeing the city. As well as finding somewhere nice to live.
Hope you're well at any rate, keep up the great music, and have a lovely weekend
Hey Phil thanks for Saturday, we enjoyed our slot & thanks for a great sound. Will catch you soon & have more of a chat about puttin on a night at the Big Coffee later in the year?
We have just uploaded some songs from our forthcoming album 'Kill or Cure' to our MySpace page and we also have a new download area at http://rockrecordsuk.co.uk/music.php from which all our music can be downloaded for free.
Nice playing last night. 3rd song was super. I am forwarding you a review of the gig at Old Nicks in your email, if I can remember addy, is good review. You may already have it
Thanks for coming last night, nice to have another looper at a gig! Hope to see you soon...I may come to the Tap on the 3rd March and am at the Ringside on the 5th..
Hey Phill, hope you're doing well, not seen you about for ages. Then again I've not been in Beverley much, should get yourself up to newcastle for a gig. Joe
Beautiful new track, reminds me a little of Sigur Ros while being very much MyOneManBand. Good luck with the tour, tour yourself over the Atlantic one of these days...
