Hi there to all,

I have recently re-arranged my top friends because I simply can't fit you all on.....BUT you are all TOP FRIENDS and will always keep in touch as far as possible. Please have fun on Myspace, Oh and just one more thing..........

New Featured Artists ( well I featured them before) but they starting a new tour next year and I'll be going along to the first gig of the tour. Check them out for yourself. http://www.myspace.com/thereasoninguk



They'll be up temporarily for now but I will do another feature next year at the launch of the tour. For now I am following up some new leads so watch this space for some great new artists.

For all new friends, here's how it works...

No 1 on my Top Friends will from now on always be the "Featured Artist" of the month. Various songs from the artist during this time will be the song on my profile. Keep watching and if you would like to be featured or need help in promoting an event or CD release etc, then just mail me and I will see what I can do. Besides the photography, it really is a great hobby. Yes I am happy to come along to gigs and things with camera in hand to use in the promotions as well. All part of the fun. I'm only an amatuer but it's a great way to learn. So what are you waiting for, invite me along ? !! ;)

ciao for now and keep in touch

Nige xx

Maxi Dunn – Welcome to Soonville (New Release)

 

This October see’s the official release of Maxi Dunn’s debut solo album “Welcome to Soonville”. Read on, because you can actually buy it now. Just don’t tell anyone I told you that.

The songs take you on a journey through many contrasting emotions, such as love lost, hurt, dreams, hope, friendship and abandonment. On its way the songs themselves follow the musical spectrum, from rock, power pop, country, through to ballads, and film soundtracks. Maxi Dunn, and her band of musical accomplices (..Midlands.. producer and musician Pete Hackett, and Spanish Producers and power pop duo Cokeroque) have put together an album for all seasons and tastes.

Above comments and pics taken from Maxi’s Myspace  www.myspace.com/maxidunn

 

There is something for everyone in Maxi Dunn’s stunning new album. Charged with emotions, sweet and bitter, that are haunting and exhilarating all in one breath. The music and lyrics take you deep into the heart of Maxi’s world. Be careful though, it might just stir a few memories and emotions of your own as you listen. Are you ready to experience this wild and wonderful journey?

 

Here is a glimpse of one of the tracks and video………

 

 

 

You can pre-order the album exclusively before the official release on 12th October. So what are you waiting for?

That’s all for now. Have fun

Hi you lovely lot,

 

Hope you are well and the rain not getting you down. I’ve actually found it quite refreshing at times but looking forward to getting out into the sun.

 

Hang in there with the Featured Artist. New one will be up soon. Hope you enjoyed listening to the fabulous Daniela complete with new band (Bove and the Belongings).

 

Just doing a bit of tweaking on the site and New Featured Artist will up soon. Enjoy some of my friends and my favorite music until then....

 

Some changes. I’ve switched over to the new MySpace format. From now on the Featured Artist will always be my No2 instead.

 

Hot Gossip.

 

The Plymouths, playing in ..Brighton.. in August. Get there if you can

 

Maxi’s new album being mastered at the moment.

 

Vashti and friends are doing a gig in ....London.... on 23rd July. Looks like a good one.

 

Got a chilli to cook, must go.

 

Enjoy and make the most of the moment, the weekend, the Summer, the life etc

 

Lots of love

What’s Occurring? ( Featured Artists Update June 2009 )
 
 
Okay, this has been a long time coming but here it is. Better late than never.
 
Currently up and most definitely running in the musical progression sense, is the wonderful Maxi Dunn. With songs like “Always Be My Friend” and “Waiting To Go Round” her music is surely set for the world wide arena. Her new Album “Welcome to Soonville” is coming on fabulously. Only a couple more tracks to finish now. Privileged to have been able to have Maxi as a Featured Artist at such a crucial stage in her musical career. Good luck Maxine.
 
______________________________________________________
 
Previously but definitely not forgotten and ones to watch and keep and eye on:
 
The Plymouths – Beachdown Festival, Brighton 29th August 2009 with The Rakes, Zutons, Grand Master Flash…. What more is there to say??
 
Momo – Working hard on the cd…watch this space. Guaranteed not to disappoint.  Wtg Tim.
 
Vashti – What am I to do, I can’t keep up with you anymore! Now let me see if I have got this right…. London, Paris…..what’s next? New York, Sydney, Tokyo…let’s hope so my friend ;) btw that new remix is awesome!
 
Daniela – just love the new songs, promise to get along to see you live one day and buy you that promised drink.
 
The Strait – Back to gigging. Nice one Steve. I hear you are coming to Bournemouth and Poole! Confirm Please!!
 
Ian Neal – Best prog rocker I’ve heard since Genesis. Really, keep going mate. Pass the word on people…..
 
Roni – Fun, fun, fun………can’t wait to hear more. When are you coming over to the UK?
 
Kate – No words necessary my friend, you are awesome beyond doubt. 
 
 
_____________________________________________________
 
Finally, but by no means least. Ones to watch for future features:
 
Beck Sian – So refreshing I am lost for words. Hope to hear more Sian.
 
The Fullerenes . I only went into the shop to buy a belt and a key ring and look who I came across.
 
Peachy Jane – Cambridge festival in August, check them out.
 
The Mudheads – In their own words, “more sense than energy” or is that the other way around lol! Eiether way guys,  I have to agree …..you’ll go far.
 
That’s all for now, but if you do want to be featured, just message and I will consider. That’s a promise.
 
Take care now.
 
Nige ;)

ps . also been listening to Dido, I'm No Angel.
