Lives & Lyrics Project

Ayup.

I have spent the last two Fridays in a young offenders institute just outside Derby. I am lucky enough to be involved in a musical project called ‘Lives and Lyrics’.

The idea of the project is to take stories from different areas of society, and put them into song. Other musicians are with different communities across the County. At the end of the project, we will release an album and tour the songs around the local area.

It has been an eye opening experience, and now I need to put pen to paper and do these kids justice.

I will post updates and samples as they come!

Tour dates in Germany, Scotland, and with Ian McNabb…

Hello!

After a quiet few months, I am finally back on the road in August, September and October.

I’ll be playing some shows in Islay and Jura with my good pal Jono, before hitting Germany for some shows in and around Munich, before teaming up with Ian McNabb for a few dates across the UK.

The full list is here.

If you are about, lets have a few jars.

The Island (Live at Dubrek Studios)

Oi!

Me and my pal Steve popped into Dubrek Studios in Derby last week, and popped down a live acoustic version of The Island.

Our good mate Jay was behind the controls, and we laid it down for a bit of fun.

If you fancy downloading it, have a check out of the bandcamp page.

Or, have a listen below…

Hope you like. x

Wednesday Night Music Show…

Oi.

My good friend Richie Allen has asked me if I would like to produce a weekly music show, every Wednesday, after his show. Obviously I leapt at the chance.

The show will go out at 10pm GMT on richieallenshow.com.

The show also goes out across Talk Radio Europe, and Fab Radio International.

There are no rules in terms of music, so if you wish to make a request, or send in a demo, please contact us through Richie’s website, or on Twitter.

Football Shirt Donation…

Hi folks,

I am gathering up as many football shirts as I can, so I can post out to Gaza, and the West Bank.

There are several kids and teenagers in Palestine, that love football, but don’t have access to football shirts, and equipment.

One bonus of Football Clubs ripping off fans by changing their kits every year, it that we all have plenty of old shirts we rarely wear.

I am sending out a bag full of Derby County shirts, but would love to send out shirts from as many other clubs as possible. If it is sat in a drawer, unworn, it should be being enjoyed by someone else. That’s my think anyway.

Contact me on Twitter, or email me through the contact page and we will arrange to get the shirts sent out, Or you can send to me, and I will happily pick up the tab to send them out to Occupied Territories.

Our address is: Gaza Football Shirts, Suite 4, 185a High Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 2PN.

Thank you. 🙂
