We’ve got a new logo: Hope you like it as you’ll be seeing a lot more of it soon! Watch this space for details… This funky design was done by my arty cousin Tom. He really is a talented man so go and check his work out here: Tomson Jenker

As busy as Mrs B. Body of Busy Cottage, Busyton, at a church social, after accidentally over-hearing that two of her neighbours have been having an affair…
Or, as busy as Juan the Piranha – a fish noted by his busiest friends for being particularly busy – when a large bleeding cow has fallen in the river. Too graphic? Ah well… how about: as busy as an enormous bumble bee with ADT. Basically, sorry for the break, but we’ve been busy. Just back from […]
At last… now I can start suffering and write that snyffony.
The lead vocals are in the bag – albeit a very large bag with a large number of takes (which will require to be carefully edited and selected) fighting within it. But they’re done! I just ate a large amount of ice-cream to celebrate not needing to stay off coagulative dairy produce any more. I think […]
Roy Ayers
Wow! Really looking forward to this Roy Ayers gig. How many people get to play support to the guy they’ve named their guitar after, eh? My acoustic is called ‘Roy’ mainly because the badge inside the sound hole says ‘Ayers’. Strangely, up until now no one’s really got the joke. Not that Mr Ayers is […]
Grooving in tha Toon
So, last weekend we were invited to play a private party in Newcastle for Richard Owen of the very excellent UK funk outfit Groovenik. Rich also runs the Funk Network UK and does a great job promoting rare grooves across the country. The Red Rooms were packed with fine musicians so we were chuffed to […]

This is part of The Liquid Rooms’ 10th Anniversary celebrations and will also feature DJs Erik D’Viking (Trouble) and Astroboy (Departure Lounge). A […]

There’s a great line up of talent on 3 separate stages beginning at 9pm and Gecko 3 will be the final live act of the show with an acoustic set at 1.20am Cheap booze […]
j’aime beacoup faire de la photographie
Et…. voila – les photographs de notre gig en Paris ils y a… ici! (Excusez-moi mon Francais…) Translated – “here’s some photies from our Paris gig and that” Marty goes for an extended jazz chord, inspired by a rather nice Gibson semi. Moose gets creative with the Palatino “French Stick”… Hugh lays down the law […]
Frog Chorus
Anyone know how to shift that chest/throat infection thingy? I’ve had it since December the 22nd (on and off) and it won’t leave me alone. I thought a measure of fame would be to achieve my first stalker, I just didn’t realise it might only be a virus… The recording is experiencing a temporary hiatus until my voice […]
The future’s bright, the future’s…
Orange. Or at least it might be. That’s one possible venue for the tour (it’s just South of Lyon – with a very nice Roman Theatre, as I recall.) Frankly the future’s damn busy the way things are looking. We’re starting phase two of the EP recording tonight which involves doing the vocals and any […]
