Yes, as the title suggests, the main news this week is the progress of 'Young, Lost and Hopeful' on the garageband.com review/charts system. As I mentioned recently, the song had been getting some belting reviews, mainly from other musos too-which is never easy! The song's star rating has enabled it to progress into 'round 2', which means more reviews, and a higher chart placing.
But the big plus is that the track has been chosen to be garageband.com's 'Track Of The Day' on Monday 21st May!
This puts the song on the front page of the site on this link.
The song also had it's live band debut last night at Carpe Diem, where we were performing a set for NoTitle magazine's Leeds Acoustic Showcase. The set went very well and I think was well received. The standard of the other acts was good too.
Of course, being a scrote magnet, I had the pleasure of a couple of close calls, but thankfully there was no full scale pitch invasion-well it was Leeds after all.
The previous night I'd done a little set at Doctor Wu's, where again there were a couple of paralytic nobs, but again thankfully no infiltration of the stage area. I played 'Your Shadow' and 'How Do You Sleep', and also a couple of covers: 'Stuck in a Moment' and 'Boys Of Summer'. The latter especially helped to endeer me a bit more to the audience.
Last week I just did the Grove on Wednesday the 9th, which was a good do. I did 'I Don't Need' and 'Rocket Man', and managed to sell a whole album in the process. Not bad for a gig that means I can leave my keyboard at home!
This weekend it's cabaret time with a double helping of Morris followed by on Monday night a slot at Wu's. This one is a proper music night, with poetry, comedy and even films thrown in. It promises to be interesting for sure.
Thanks to everyone who found this link on their way to playing the new songs from the new mini-album. Last week there was a rush of excitement when 'These Eyes Of Mine' and 'Words' went high up the charts. Still no downloads, but we live in hope.
