I was pleasantly surprised to see my YouTube channel make #91 in the most viewed music channels yesterday - today it's #95! Help me to keep it there by checking out the stuff that's on there - just added SB's other two tracks from Sunday's Adelphi gig - Yeah Yeah and a freestyle rap - also check him out freestyling with Funked Off!

There's loads of other ATM-related vids on there as well as some stuff from my current role as guitarist with the Tom Ritchie Project - tracking sessions in Element Studio with me laying down layers of guitars and having fun into the process; it's all at www.youtube.com/ftmpch

A City Called Hull by SB from the Adelphi Christmas Bash is now up on YouTube; check it out at www.youtube.com/ftmpch!

The opening set from Sunday's Adelphi Christmas Bash, played by Roar! I'm A Dinosaur is now on YouTube; Funked Off's set is being uploaded as I write; go to www.youtube.com/ftmpch and have a look - and why not subscribe while you're there?!

Next up is SB - watch this space!

The Six Shooters gig is now up on www.youtube.com/ftmpch; have a look and leave us some comments - and subscribe to the channel - it's full of good stuff!

The other sets from Adelphi on Sunday will be going up over the next few days - keep a lookout!

Access to Music Hull once again hosted a night of music and fun at the legendary Adelphi Club in Hull last night; the Christmas gig at the Adelphi holds a particular significance for me and brings about mixed feelings; last night all that was put aside temporarily as we were treated to four fine performances - photos already on the page and video going on Youtube as we speak (check out www.youtube.com/ftmpch later tonight!) from Roar! I'm A Dinosaur, SB, Funked Off and Six Shooters; all gave a creditable account of themselves and had the respectably-sized crowd a-whoopin' and a hollerin'!

The variety on display was especially gratifying - we went from Seattle to East LA to the Louisiana Swamp, New Orleans, New York and back to Barnsley in the space of four hours!

The punters had a good night, parents were made proud and beverage was quaffed (along with some more exotic stimulants if I'm not mistaken!). Professor Jones graced the stage in his usual charismatically inimitable stylee, and new kid on the block SB freestyled with Funked Off after delivering a couple of his own rhymes - Straight Outta Willerby!

Roar's Chris Houlton whirled like a dervish, high on sugar and energy drinks, Phil J pounded the skins manfully, SB towed us whut time it wuz, Six Shooters delivered on their promise and showed what can be done in a few short months if you apply your energy and enthusiasm; Funked Off showed what can be achieved by using bare-faced cheek along with a high degree of musical skill.

It all bodes well for the coming two terms and I will be keen to jam with Funked Off myself - groovy stuff indeed!

This year's ATM Christmas gig at the Adelphi will be held on Sunday 13 December; already confirmed to appear are new band Six Shooters and MC's Danny Porter and Lewis Walkington.

Get yourself down there - entry is free and it usually is a good night out!

We are shocked and saddened almost beyond belief to have to tell you of the sudden death on Thursday of Val Quigley, our head of curriculum area at East Riding college; Val was our Department Head for the last seven years - it seems like she was always there and it is almost impossible to comprehend being without her. Those who met her will remember her as a warm and cheerful person who worked tirelessly for the good of her department and always in a fair and caring manner.

I can safely say that I have never known a better boss; she was everything you could ever want from a manager - no-one else could hold a candle to her - she is irreplaceable.

There's so much to say - read my personal blog on www.myspace.com/jeffparsonshull for more.

In the meantime, rest in peace Val - we will never forget you.

Latest posting on my youTube channel is the I Can Count All My Bones set from the Welly on 11 March 2009 - enjoy!

Also, if you want to see Jeff as a sullen 25-year old, it's on there too - The Year of the Punk part 2!

There's more stuff to see on my YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/ftmpch - including Fudgey and Adam Dowd from the National Gig earlier this year, as well as some candid footage from the coach journey home - not to be confused with the journey home from last year's National gig which is also up there!

Have a look and give me some comments!

Coming soon - I Can Count All My Bones and Barking Spiders!
