If you've been here before you'll know that I have been saying I'm recruiting for my band for a while now...
I am still recruiting - BUT - at this point I now have a tidy collection of guys working on my songs and making them sound extra lovely ... So, if it ends up just being us, although it isn't what I'd originally had planned, I'll be happy with that!

If, however, you happen to play any of the following and are curious to know whether you could add something to my merry band, then please get in touch. The more the merrier!!

CELLO, DRUMS,

Backing vocal ability is also a plus but not essential.

Well, now here's a thought! Since "Staying In" is the new "Going Out" 'n all, maybe you'd like the gig to come to you!
You could book me to play at your place and sit around in your slippers with your mates, listening to some totally different new music, you wouldn't hear unless you spent a packet on taxis and booze going to some club to find that you couldn't hear anything anyway because everybody's talkin to loud ... and then you get home and you half wish you never went cos the bar staff were really something (or was that the beer-goggles??) but now you're being sick everywhere and you're sure you musta lost some dough cos you really couldn't have spent all that ! ...
I guess staying in might not sound as much fun, but y'know one of these days I'm gonna be a household name and you'll be able to say "she sat right here in my living room you know!" pointing lovingly at the dent you've never smoothed out of the sofa where my arse was once (allegedly) parked ... well, yes - don't hold your breath! Lol!
Still, as I say - it's a thought! Isn't it! And the real beauty of it is that, although I can't do it for free, I'll accept whatever you can afford :)
Think about it why don't you.
Send me a message when you've decided, and we'll go from there.

My Old Addiction is a new song I recorded recently with my friend Sally Wyatt.  

It's a good thing there's no copyright on song titles too! cos there's a wicked song out there of the same name and happens to be one of my favourites ... still, this is also very apt for my song...

hope you like it! give me some feedback why don't you! :)

If you want to see the full lyrics go to:

now i just love this cos one day i'm gonna be the one who gets to say: yeah, like, i've played the place with the WIERDEST name man!!

John Sebastian Lightship - come on?!

it's like Jefferson Starship / Airplane man, it's far out! no ?

Well, anyway I'll be there strummin my little heart out on Friday (May 30th) at 8.30pm sharp! you'll need to be there by then ... i think it's free to get in, but you have to leave yer name on the door - think about it - you can be anyone!

As for where it is: that's easy - it's a big boat with a gert great light on top by the water in the heart of bloomin Bristol, me luvvers arr!!

If that doesn't help you, it's moored somewhere between the Louisiana & the Ostrich pubs near the centre - Bathurst Basin, Bathurst Parade.

And here you can follow a link that tells you all about it:

Now don’t get me wrong - I know we’re all here trying to do much the same thing, and that’s ok. MySpace is a tool that requires we make as many friends as possible & get ourselves out there. But here’s something you’ll need to be aware of :

If I add someone as a Friend that’s because I GENUINELY like their music, identify with their ethos or actually know and like them. I’m selective - so if you’ve been selected there’s a reason for that. If you invite me to an event or bulletin about a release or whatever, that’s cool. I do that. And if I like you enough I’ll get the word around.  

However, bands that use their Friend status just to then post MASSIVE comments on my page, to promote some release or gig (unless it’s charitable) are really trying my patience. Find another way. Any band that does this will get their Comment deleted. Do it repeatedly and I’ll embargo you.

Read the comments that are actually there to get an idea of what seems ok to me. My intent is not to offend but if this seems unreasonable to anyone, well just bear in mind this is MY Space and I have the right to define it’s content.
