LONDON GIG TONIGHT/TOUR/NEW EP/HEARTBREAK BALL/CASHMUSIC/ACRES ACRES GIG & DOWNLOAD




Hi everyone!


    
UNEXPECTED BUT JOYOUSLY DELIGHTFUL GIG TONIGHT IN LONDON    

So yesterday I got an e-mail from Vampire Weekend's agent saying that Rostam from the band had personally requested that I support them tonight in London, at King's College. Luckily I didn't have anything on (OK, OK, if I had had anything on I would have cancelled.) So that's nice. No idea if it's sold out or how much tickets are, but I'm on at 8 (playing with the band).

NEW EP



So I made an acoustic EP with versions of my favorite songs from my two albums, plus a cover. You can download it for free from jeremywarmsley.cashmusic.org in return for an e-mail address.
For those of you that prefer hard copies, they'll be available at gigs or you can buy one at jeremywarmsley.bigcartel.com.



THE RETURN OF THE HEARTBREAK BALL - 14th FEBRUARY 2010



Last Valentine's Day, I put on an event called the Heartbreak Ball at the Slaughtered Lamb, in London. It was great – we had Johnny Flynn, Slow Club, Stars of Sunday League and a host of other wonderful artists plying their trade to an intimate, sold-out audience. Well, I'm doing it again in 2010, this time at one of my favorite venues in London, the Bush Hall, and with a bit of help from the very wonderful people at End Of The Road Festival.

The line-up will be revealed over the course of the next four months, but you can rest assured it'll be very fine indeed. In the mean-time, we have tickets on-sale now, for those of you that want to make sure you're going to be spending a happy Valentine's – no matter who you're with.

Tickets available now from http://www.wegottickets.com/event/54854.



CASHMUSIC



CASH is a not-for-profit organisation based in Rhode Island, Florida, USA. They are very fine people who help bands develop the tools to get their music heard by more people. They made that lovely site for the 5 Versions EP above. Anyway they're having a fancy raffle to raise a bit of money for their operation and I've donated a prize. You can buy a ticket for $15 and if you win, you can have me record a cover song of your choice (within reason and subject to discussion - and by this I mean I'm not going to do any Atomic Kitten songs - S Club yes, Atomic Kitten no). More at http://cashmusic.org/?show=jeremywarmsley. There's some other great prizes there, too.



ACRES, ACRES



My main project at the moment is a new band called Acres, Acres in which I sing and play guitar. www.myspace.com/acresacres. We're playing two shows in London soon - 20th October at the Notting Hill Arts Club, and 17th November at the Old Blue Last (the OBL show is free!)

You can get a free download from acresacres.bandcamp.com. Bloggers, feel free to host this on your sites.

There's another three songs up on our myspace (myspace.com/acresacres).




Thank you for reading this far. Your prizes:

ROCK FACT: Luther Vandross got an early gig singing in David Bowie's backing band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bed-pnf6oGY

BAD JOKE    Q: What do flies wear on their feet? A: Shoos.



Thanks! See you all at a gig soon I hope.
