Quotes
"Duke Special is lucky enough to have the most entertaining drummer/percussionist in the world who goes by the name of Chip, and at various points throughout the show plays a cheese-grater, a walking stick with various shakers, cymbals and accoutrements, and even gives the audience an impromptu oral percussion lesson"
HOT PRESS
"Chip Bailey is one of the most consistently inventive drummer/percussionists your reviewer has seen in a long while"
KING TUTS
"a seasoned percussionist who can make music from just about any old junk. No, he's not a former Blue Peter presenter but a highly inventive and amusing gent whose random rhythmic accompaniments lifts the Duke's music to weird and wonderful levels"
BUSH HALL
"If any other drummer in the world told you that egg whisks and cheese-graters were for sale on the merchandising stand and offered a lesson in elementary kitchenware percussion halfway through the gig you might think it surreal. With Chip Bailey it seems like the most natural thing in the world"
SCOTT EDGAR
"Chip Bailey = percussion God"

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine
Hey chip thanks for the friend reply. I saw you with Duke Special this month in Cork, the best cheese greater and whisk display ever. Keep on rockin. Merry Christmas. Alan
I took this pic this morning at about 7AM. It was still kind of dark, and very cold, but looked so different when I looked out... snow flurries of the year!!!
Hi Chip, this is not my pumpkin, I saw him in West Virginia a little while ago, and he was sitting by somebody's doorstep, I thought he's kind of neat!
