My name is Stephen John Hudson, and the songs you hear on this site are snippets of the stuff i get up to when not playing in bands such as Ampersands and Uncle Jeff.
On Sunday 3rd of September, my friend Graeme and I got together at his house, and recorded all night. I missed work the next morning because i was so knackered, but we had created a short five track EP entitled 'Here Comes the Weekend'. If you get in touch, I'd be happy to send you a copy.
Dan Haywood's New Hawks www. myspace. com/newhawks Lancaster's very own cosmic force. If you're not yet aquainted with the live New Hawks experience, you must get it in yer soul.
I Am Your Autopilot www. myspace. com/iamyourautopilot Sublime folk-tronica from Manchester. A rare live outing - graceful electronics meets folk - rumour has it that Raz (Starless & Bible Black) will be guesting on synth...
Little Pebble www. myspace. com/pebblelittle Edinburgh's Little Pebble also had releases out by his chums at the Fence Collective. His finger-picking of beautiful melodies and charming observations make for a beguiling combination. Last seen in Lancaster in Come in Tokyo, his garage-rock incarnation.
Sally Murray www. myspace. com/sallymurraythemusical Nottingham's Sally Murray (now based in Manchester) is the new rising star of Timbreland. Amazing voice and guitar playing - recordings coming soon!
Corn Capri www. myspace. com/corncapri Manchester's Corn Capri is the solo guise of Pete Philipson, guitarist/songwriter of Starless & Bible Black, and his trademark inventive and tasteful guitar playing will be on display stripped down.
hey steve. hope you can come down to this. Working For A Nuclear Free City (Manchester); Amazing blend of psychedelic experimentalism and pure pop, harnessed with lo-fi sounds. Just back from a U.S tour where they played SXSW. www. myspace. com/wfanfc Beat The Radar (Manchester/Lancaster); Indie Post-Punk Pop genius ;) www. myspace. com/beattheradar Pushbike Army (Leeds); Riot rock n roll punk. Think Billy Bragg, The Clash and The Buzzcocks. Just realising debut single ‘Four From Alexandra Grove’. www. myspace. com/pushbikearmy Steve Morgan (Lancaster); Lancaster music scene legend plays the classics, fresh with a new E.P. It’s a pleasure for him to play this night. www. myspace. com/stevemorgan
All of this for the stupidly low price of £3. Doors at 8.30pm. That’s all. xx
great set last night. all my friends who came were very impressed with you. i really liked the first song you played.-especially the end bit/build upy bit. anyways see you soon mr swift
I'm playing in Manchester tomorrow and the Yorkie on Thursday... You upto much on Friday? The bum sounds wonderful. Perhaps we can sing harmonies in the Yorkie toilets again...
Hey stephen. really enjoyed your set on monday, the lyric about a beard of bees really stuck in my head. Hopefully catch Uncle Jeff round the place soon too. Dave

Oh cool - let me know about any Liverpool dates you get! Completely forgot to mention Magnet - sorry about that! Did you say you had some Ampersands CDs available? thanks, Laura
Hey, Aye Bar Hannah is probably your best bet. They get quite a few acoustic sets there and it works really well with the atmosphere/ambience/fairy lights etc. You might give Zanzibar a try maybe? Depends how high you want to set your heights, Barfly may be worth a shot? Sound anygood? Laura x (PS: I'll be at the Yoav Library gig.)
