A wonderful cornucopia of musical loveliness this week but BE WARNED THIS MAY NOT BE SUITABLE TO PLAY AT WORK AS IT CONTAINS A SONG THAT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN’S OR WORK COLLEAGUES EARS. SWEARS AND GROWN UP STUFF. YOU GET ME?

Yes Avital Raz has recorded a song to do with the middle east situation and certain practices that I will not mention as I do not want to attract a flood of spam. Suffice to say that it will raise a few few eyebrows etc. It is a great tune as are all in this weeks episode.

This is also the first show that will be played on a great internet radio station Splash-Music on Thursdays and Friday evenings at 6pm.

This weeks Tunes are

Polly and the Billets Doux ~ Hold Fast, Bullshed ~ Push, Avital Raz ~ Edinburgh Surprise, Maths and The Moon ~ On a Knife Edge,  Tommy Eye ~ Weapon to my Head, Deco Pilot ~ You Know, Salme Dahlstrom ~ Lets Get To It, Nick Tann ~ Don’t

After totting up all the date from last weeks episode, the results are that you are loving the shorter show so the shorter show you will have.

 

In this weeks little nugget of fun I bang on about funding my new album READ ALL ABOUT IT HERE as well as MY LIVE PERFORMANCE LIVE ON YOUR VERY OWN INTERNET THIS SUNDAY AT 8PM.

Oh there was also some excellent music from Ashbury Keys ~ Wake Up, Josephine and the Artizans ~ Lacrymosa, E- Mute ~ Across The Sea, Presley Johnson ~ Anita’s Last Dance, Bela Takes Chase ~ Compulsory Resolution, Soulfege ~ Easy Does It, Nick Tann ~ Don’t which is a demo of the track that I will be recording on my new fan funded album that I may or may not have mentioned. Did I mention it?

A special post

7ii.jpg

It’s been 16 months since I left my full-time job and took up music as a full time profession. It has been the journey of a life time and I absolutely love my job! I have gigged all over the country and abroad playing my original songs.

The time has now come for me to record a new album. Up to now I have recorded my demos at home, compiled them on a cd and sold them at my shows as well as online. Now I need to take things to the next level. I want to tour and play bigger and better venues, and to do that I need a professionally recorded album, a compilation of home recorded demos just won’t cut it.

This will cost more money than I have so I am launching a fan funding campaign to raise the necessary funds to enable me to make this happen.

I have done a lot of research and have decided to use the amazing Zanzibar Studios in Winchester to record 6 new tracks. When finished I will then get 1000 CDs printed.

I have priced everything and I need to raise £2500 to make it happen and I am hoping that I can raise it all through pre orders and donations. If you donate at least £15 that way I can send you a copy of the album, when it is finished.

To make a donation please use this PayPal button.




>

Once you have donated I will keep you updated as to the progress of my appeal.

You may wonder why I am raising funds myself as opposed to using a CrowdFunding website then please click here to see an earlier post I wrote on the subject

I would appreciate any publicity you can add to this campaign, I WILL record this album and I would be really grateful if you could help make it happen.

 

Below are demos of the songs I will be recording.

“3 am”

“Don’t”

“Can’t Stop Missing You”

“Sadder Than Sad”

“Coming Home”

“Crazy” when I have finished writing it!

I will also include the already recorded track “Parallel Lines” as a bonus track.

 

THANK YOU
