I'd love to know what you think of any of the songs. Perhaps there's one that moves you, or is a favourite for any reason, or perhaps there's one that you can relate to, or reminds you of something or someone. Anything really, but do please feel free to get in touch!

NEW ALBUM, WHERE IS IT??

This is the final stage before the new album is actually released. As we speak, boxes of CDs are making their way over to the distributor in Portland, Oregon. Fly safely please! As soon as things are set-up there, I will of course let you know how to purchase the full album. Over the next few months, the album will also appear on all the top download sites such as iTunes, Napster etc...

ZEPHYR BAR BAND GIG 22/10/09

Another great night for the band (3-piece version) at Zephyr in Huddersfield last Thursday. To me this is the spiritual home of the Paul Jeffery Band, as it's where we did our first gig. The first half was quiet, as was the whole town centre area, but by set 2 we had a great crowd who seemed to enjoy what we did. Given that the other larger town centre bars remained dead, I don't think we did too badly!

Our one gig last week was cancelled so it was a rare thing: a gigless week! The first, excluding holidays, since May. I expected to be overcome by a feeling of relaxation, and inspiration at all the other jobs I could get done, re-charge the batteries, and dare I say a little bit of relief. What I was actually overcome by was a cold and a feeling of being really tired all week! I think these gigless weeks are over-rated!

I've a confession to make. I went to see Cliff Richard and the Shadows on Wednesday at Sheffield Arena. To American readers that's probably no big deal, but I'm sure there are one or two over here who have just fallen off their seats. My mum is the Cliff fan, always has been, well that's my excuse anyway!! I think I'm getting to the age where it doesn't affect my credibility at all, not that I've ever had much. The show was great, my main pleasure being drawn from seeing Hank Marvin who to me is such a great musician. I could hear every note, and the whole thing was very professional. A little too professional at times, twice Sir Cliff had them re-starting songs due to a bit of feedback. I think perhaps they should have just played on, I know Status Quo would have done!

Other than that, it was another stock car weekend to Birmingham/Northampton, so now I need a rest after that!

The new album, with tracks already streaming on myspace, is just about to go to the distributors, so everything is now in place. I'll also be working on over-hauling this website, and that should make a big difference. But unfortunately, the blog will continue!!

New Songs From The New Album!


...whilst in the final stages of completing the album ready for release, I've finally been able to upload 4 of the songs for you to listen to. They're all in full and are on my myspace page, just click on the link above to have a listen.


...AND MORE OLD NEW SONGS!

As myspace now allows you to have 10 songs on a page, I've taken the opportunity of giving some other older songs an airing on the site. Songs such as 'There You Are', from my first album, and 'Gods & Angels'- a very popular song from my previous CD.


Please feel free to have a listen and let me know what you think! I've had some great feedback so far, from people all over the place, I always appreciate people having a listen. It's really exciting to unleash some new material onto the internet.

In a short while, all songs from the album will be streamable on the web. There will also be a song available for free download to members of the mailing list. If you would like to be on the list all you have to do is email me.


I did a couple of good gigs last week. On Thursday it was Verve in Leeds, which of all the times I've played there now (quite a few!), this was my favourite session. It was a full and very warm crowd, who listened to the songs too. There were even people sat cross-legged on the floor which reminded me of late 60s footage of Joni Mitchell and suchlike. Anyway, a thoroughly enjoyable gig, and the response was very positive.

On Saturday, the band was back out at The Old Pond Inn, in Hove Edge, Brighouse. This was just as good if not better than the New Years Day gig we did there last time. Again, a good response to the originals ('who did that originally?', someone shouted...'I did'), and the whole set was well received.

NEW ALBUM UPDATE

NEW ALBUM UPDATE

It's been a few weeks so thought I'd write a little more about the new album. As always, the period between finishing the recordings (excitement) and finishing the album covers, inlays etc... (relief) is a bit longer than anticipated.

However I'm glad to say that the first test prints of the album sleeve were succesful so now it really is almost ready.

In case you didn't see the earlier post from a couple of months ago, let me tell you the album contains 10 new songs of mine and 2 cover versions. The covers are of two of my favourite songs, 'The Musical Box' by Genesis and 'In The Lap Of The Gods (Revisited)' by Queen. I can only say I recorded these because I love the songs. I now also have clearance to release these, another reason things have been a bit slow.

The orignial songs are hopefully a bit more cheery than on Seven Shades (!) but there's a good mix of love songs and social comment songs, so it should appeal to a wide range of people.

I will bring more news as soon as the crunch moment arrives, and copies are available. It's likely that the first CDs will be out at upcoming gigs I'm playing. Again, more news to come.

The weekend just gone was busy as usual, with the band playing at Moorlands on Friday and then I did a solo set at the Barwick-in-Elmet beer festival. For the latter gig, my big thanks to Rich for the set, the beer and the programme notes!
