Hi all, I’m afraid there was a problem with a batch of my Demo CD and some of the bad bunch were sold at COTTINGHAM SPRINGBOARD FESTIVAL.
I have spoken to most people and have sorted them out but I still need to track down ta few other people I can remember selling them to.
A big guy with a beard…You where a star, you bought two…now they probably don’t work, I’m very sorry get in touch !!!
A young tall gothic guy with long hair and a red haired girlfriend who came from out of town…was really annoyed at myself that out of town people had got duff cd’s…don’t hate me, just get in touch and I will sort you out.
The new batch are fine and I am doing everything I can to get working CDs to the right people, let me know if you want any.

SO WHAT IS THIS MUSIC? I HEAR YOU ASK...
Well, Basically I got bored playing with myself (sort of speak) so I began to use a couple of old delay pedals to get a bit of a beat going that i could play over, I guess you could say that since then things have got a little out of hand. All the above tracks are live takes and all recorded with just me playing, sampling, singing and pressing effects boxes... all in real-time.....this AIN'T KARAOKE KID!!!.

LATEST UPDATE
AUGUST The Highlight of this month has been playing the Cottingham Springboard Music Festival, it was such a cool cool weekend and one I will always remember, thanks to all who worked so hard to pull it together.
JULY t has been a busy month, I've had some really nice words written about me in both Sandman and Tenfootcity....Thanks guys!
I am going to try and capitalise on this exposure by playing out more; if you are
a promotor, work in a club or are in a band that needs a support act, please, please get in touch; the music scene is tricky to get into as a solo performer and I would love the chance to play to new crowds.
I am trying to get some demos finished to represent my latest nine songs.so far I only have some very patchy versions, let me know if you want to see them on here and I might post them
You wouldn't would you? COme all the way to Louth for my open mic I'm putting on?
Tis on 23rd this month at Cobbles Bar. I'm looking to get some fine music on, interesting stuff not just the usual, hence me asking you! There is a gig to be had there too for people they like, so may be worth the journey?
Of course, shall see you at Horncastle if you can't make this one, should be fine gig.
Hi,I'm doing a 45 minute guest slot gig at the Tap and Spile Open Mic night , Spring Bank, on Tuesday 23rd Sept starting at 9.15pm.Hope you can make it.Val.
Hope ya can make the open mic this week at the Sun Inn, were trying to get a good crowd there and I've even persuaded the landlord to give a free drink to everone who plays! Shameless bribery! Get there early if ya can. Spread the word! Cheers, Roy
Thanks for coming along last night, hope to be playing Hull again soon. Will dig you out some venues near here and let you know if I can organise some gigs.

Thanks Phill, that's great. we'll check it out sometime... When is the next time with a PA? Is there someone we need to get in touch with about it? Thanks again -Joseph, Scarlet Arcade
Don't worry, I sent it last minute! Went pretty well thanks, a slight sound problem, but nothing major! Enjoyed your set very much, didn't realise you had THAT much stuff! Very expressive music, espesh the vox, and I liked the cover, you gave it a very different more emotive feel, many images conjured, completely different.
hey phil good to see you play at cott festival on saturday you was amazing :) i need to buy a CD off you at some point sorry i had to leave in such a ruch my mate lottie was getting a bit restless lol and thank you soooo fucking much for playing made me cry for me it ment so much just to hear you play that song again :) love you xxx
I see you are playing at the King Willaim COttingham tonight at 10, I shall have a listen as I'm playing at 7 in the acoustic bit (i'm still allowed to use my effects and a loop or 2 though!). Come and have a listen if you want, will be doing some fairly standard songs, but will whack in a proper loopy one too.
Yah, got some electric ones done, just need to chop em up a bit, fade em so the whole song isn't on the player then I'll put them up. Hope to hear yours soon. Dunno what you record with, but if you are into doing it on your pc may I suggest reaper? Its as good as Cubase but much more free.
