Break a leg.

Posted on 1 Comment

Hello everyone,

Sorry I’ve been a bit slack on the updates front. I do have a valid excuse this time though. Since Saturday I have been in hospital on enough Morphine to take down an Indian Elephant.

I broke my leg playing football and needed to be rushed to hospital for treatment. I broke both my Tibia and Fibia just above the ankle.

As soon as the tackle was made, I heard the crack and knew something wasn’t right. Unfortunately, human nature meant I tried to get up. I looked down to see my leg sticking out the wrong way and basically flapping like a flag in the wind.

Google image Aaron Ramsay leg break and you’ll get the picture.

I’m back in with the specialist on Friday to decide whether or not surgery is required or not. Touch wood it isn’t.

Then I am in a wheel chair for a month, another two months of plaster and crutches and then the rehab starts. I don’t think I’ll be able to walk without help for around six months. Then 8 months until I can run.

If I want to play football again, it will be at least a year. Although I am not holding my breath that I’ll play again. The break was pretty horrific.

So there, that’s my excuse. Now bring me grapes! 😉 x

G and Tippers first live music show!

Posted on Leave a Comment

Hello all!

This Thursdays G & Tippers Show is a first ever live music show. We have the wonderful Jono flying down from Glasgow to play live in the studio.

Jono will be playing the tunes that made him a favourite with BBC Radio DJs and fans across Europe, as well as some new unheard songs from his new album.

In honour of our guest, the show will don a Scottish theme. This means…

Loads of Scottish music.

Scottish challenges. (How many shortbreads can you eat in a minute?)

Prank calls to Scottish people.

Plus, we want you to tweet your ‘Englishman, Irishman, and Scottishman’ jokes.

I know the Irish tend to be the punchline in those jokes but A. We can’t offend Jono TOO much. And B. I couldn’t think of anything else.

Get your tweets in to www.twitter.com/gandtippers.

Check out Jono and his music at www.meandmyguitar.com.

7pm Tomorrow at www.vectisradio.com.

G and Tippers Theme!

Posted on Leave a Comment

OiOi!

This weeks show was meant to be a solo affair. Tim is in Spain making love by the pool, so I figured I’d be all on my todd. But I was wrong! This weeks show will instead be very very crowded!

The line up is as follows.

Moi, Steve, Roger, Rich & Turlough.

Our themes are a bit personal too. Valentines Day tales, favourite ‘Power Ballad’ but more importantly, we want to know about your FIRST TIME. No holding back. We want the details. Tweet us at www.twitter.com/gandtippers

Add that to some phone pranks, World record attempts, discussing the links between fat people and paedophiles, and god knows what else, and you’ve got a radio show.

www.vectisradio.com from 7pm Tonight. And don’t forget, you can also listen on your phone by downloading Tune In Radio for free.

Music Video, Charity Gig & Apparently, I’m Gay…

Posted on Leave a Comment

Hello all!

Hope you’re all good and stuff. It’s Valentines Day so I hope you got some nice gifts. Chocolates, flowers, condoms, whatever floats your boat. I didn’t get a card this year. But then why would I? According to this gentleman, I don’t even know my own sexuality.

Gareth Icke is gay.

This guy has dedicated an entire webpage, and VIDEO to the fact that I am gay. That’s some serious dedication I must admit. His proof is pretty overwhelming. Please check out the video for yourself.

His name is Chris Constantine and according to the BBC, he has ‘serious mental health issues’.

BBC News.

That was an interesting watch for me yesterday I must admit!

Anyway, back down to planet Earth.

I have completed the music video for ‘Remember who you are’. It’s now being put together and special affects added. I can’t wait for you to see it.

I won’t give too much away but in the space of 3 hours I blew out a girlfriend, got hit by a car, ran through a graveyard, and attended my own funeral. Just another normal day in North London.

As soon as it’s completed, the link will be spread far and wide. Much like my legs are as I’m enjoying another mans company.

Do you reckon Mr Constantine has a secret fantasy about me? Maybe.

On March the 9th I’m playing my last show on the Isle of Wight for quite some time. At the end of March I’m moving back up to Derby and won’t be around the South coast any more.

The show on the 9th is at The Wight Rock Bar in Ryde. It’s to raise money for my Sisters charity climb of Ben Nevis.

Bear Attack Club, This Way Up and myself will be performing. All for a mere £2. Doors open at 8pm. Get your arse there! 🙂

I shouldn’t really be talking about arses. I’ll give you all ideas.

Music Video.

Posted on 1 Comment

Oi!

I am off up to the smokey metropolis we call London on the 9th of Feb, to start work on a music video for ‘Remember Who You Are’, The song was written to go alongside the release of my Dads book, of the same name.

The video will be shown on a massive screen behind me and my band when we play at Wembley Arena in October. Yes, you did read that correctly, Wembley Arena.

The idea for the video is wicked. It’s really thought provoking and interesting. I do hope you’ll like it!

I’ll get it up here as soon as I can. x

This weeks G and Tippers theme!

Bonjour!

Cava?!

This Thursdays show sees the return of the G and Tippers record breaking attempts!

In the past we’ve come very close (Bananas), equalled (17 eggs in one hand) and set World records (500 straws up the bum).

It’s been a while and at last I’ve found one that I am certain I can smash. It’s eating obviously. Stuffing my face seems to be the only thing I’m good at these days. Well, that and moaning.

A young man by the name of Joe Wright owns the World Record for most M&Ms eaten in one minute, using only his right hand. It must be hundreds I hear you cry! Nope. Fifty nine. That’s easy!!! Another G & Tippers World Record is very much on the cards.

Tune in to www.vectisradio.com to listen and you can also watch the attempt at www.stickam.com/vectisradio between 7pm & 10pm British Time this Thursday.

Our themes for the show are…

Closest you’ve ever come to death.

Favourite film.

First kiss.

Get your tweets into us at www.twitter.com/gandtippers. You can also email us at gandtippers@vectisradio.com.

There will also be some pranks and wind ups. You know the drill.

Tune in this Thursday from 7pm.

The Album Is Done!!!

Posted on 2 Comments

Oi!

At last my second album is complete. It still needs mastering and mixing but as far as recording, our job is done.

Now I just need to sort out an album title and get it released and out into your eardrums.

The mixing and mastering shouldn’t take long at all so I’m looking for a release around the end of March.

One track off the album, ‘Remember Who You Are’ will be released well before that. I had a meeting in London on Friday to put together ideas for a music video to be released on YouTube by the end of February.

While the record won’t yet be for sale, it’s quite a cool way to advertise it’s release and get some interest around the internet. Well, that’s the plan anyway!

This is a self release and while that’s amazing because I get the record to sound how I want it to, it’s also down to me to sort everything else out.

Once it’s released, I’ll piece together a tour and hopefully come and play somewhere near you.

Until then, stay lucky. x
