July 2009

Since the last post things have been good. A gig at the Ginglik in Shepherds Bush, London took the best part of  a week by the time rehearsals and home study were incorporated!

Phil Gould and Mike Lindup from Level 42 put the gig on mainly doing their material. D.C. Lee, formerly of the Style Council and artist in her own write did a 3 song set, the first gig for her in a long time. The girl is a trooper – still got the larynx and a great stage presence. Yolanda and Miles were both on the gig which made it for me. I got to do a short set of my own tunes as a warm up and the very loyal Level 42 fans gave a generous reception.

I also just got back from a festival gig in Sweden on the island of Ivo, which was brilliant. A very small but perfectly formed affair! A secret Swedish music critic in the audience dubbed it the coolest festival in Sweden and (he says bashfully) put yours truly as the highest quality act on the bill. Quotes to follow. The beat goes on
