I must admit to being completely knackered last week. That's the problem with leading such a hectic life! When I say hectic of course I mean dis-organised. Not hectic as in planes and limos here and there. That's the kind of hectic I need.

I performed at the Kings Arms Open Mic on Wednesday night. After the band's succesful raid there the previous Friday I thought I'd unleash more of my own material. It turned out to be the first night they'd actually run an open mic so as such it wasn't a great success! I played 'Shadow', 'Whiskey', 'One Of Us' and 'These Eyes'. They need to have the night hosted properly otherwise it won't work-the musicians support is there!

On Friday the Band returned to the Snooty Fox at Oakworth for what was one of our first repeat bookings. It was busier and slightly more atmospheric than the first time, which isn't saying much! But at least it's a step in the right direction. Not the easiest of venues, paritcularly for original material, but we had a reasonable night as a band.

That was it for music as I went off to Bristol via Birmingham over the weekend for the Stock Cars. And yes it actually only rained at one of them! Bristol remained dry and sunny which does tend to make all the difference as we belatedly limp into Spring. The shitty weather of late has really got me down.

Still making slow progress with the Paradise Street album, and still building up the myspace page, now to over 20,000 hits!
