I’ve accidentally made my site go all “default template”. I guess I will try to fix this later. HOLD ON TIGHT!
Hooray! My song ‘Photographic Memory’ was played on Tom Robinson’s Introducing show on BBC Radio 6music last night.
You can listen again for the next week or so HERE (I’m at about 1hr 30mins) and apparently there will be a podcast that also includes the song available soon, so THANK YOU 6 music!
If you’ve found this site as a result of hearing the song on the radio, feel free to hit up a load of completely free music from the links under Albums to the right. Planet of the Tapes is the best one.
Incidentally, Tom Robinson did say that I’m a member of Mascot Fight, which isn’t true, but I did play drums for them for one song once so I’ll let him off.
I thought I’d have a go at recording myself playing a song, to see what my camera is like for that purpose. Turns out it’s “adequate but not spectacular”!!!
You can download the original recording of this song here.

Hooray! In other news I have joined a new band! The band is called Of Mice and Mental Arithmetic! That is a link to our website!
So, the Bar One gig was as fun and exciting as gigs tend to be at Bar One, which is to say that it was great. I love that place, it has good flashing lights that you can concentrate your eyes on and tell your brain that they are moving left or right, even though secretly you know that they’re just going on and off. That’s just one of the great things about Bar One! Everyone should go, all of the time.
My next gig is at The Jam Café in Nottingham on October 25th. This is part of something called Hockley Hustle, and some other nice people will be playing too, including the excellent Mexican Kids at Home and also somebody called Bonsai Project who I haven’t managed to find out anything about yet.
But don’t fear! Because I will post a new post with all the full information once I know what all of the full information is. I will post it here on this website!
hello! I’ve been very busy. but now I have another gig!
