As yet un-named…

Posted on 1 Comment

Hello folks.

Am in the studio today. We’re laying down a completely new tune. It hasn’t even got a name yet. Any ideas?

The track is about the nightmare that is long distance relationships and the trauma that loneliness causes for an already tortured mind. Sounds upbeat eh? Truth is it is. It’s a 128 bpm tempo which is apparently the pop song formula. We’ll see!

This will be track number 8 of the album complete. We’re getting there and the record is really taking shape. I sincerely hope you feel as positive when you hear it, as I do now.

I am sorry I’ve been a bit crap with the old posts recently. I’ve been so busy with various things that I literally don’t have time.

But I will make time. Shit loads of news to come soon. TV pitches and book publications to name a couple.

Be safe all! x

G and Tippers Show Theme!

Posted on Leave a Comment

Hey!

Fresh from last weeks World Record equalling show, we’re back with more attempts!

I held 17 eggs in my left hand. That’s right! 17. Tim managed 8.

Our theme for this week is shit relationships. We’ve all had to date horrors before we found ‘the one’. We want your stories about just how mean and nasty those ex’s were.

Were they cheaters or beaters? Either way, we want to know! Tweet us@gandtippers and let us know!

A Brand New Battle.

Posted on Leave a Comment

OiOi.

Spent the day in the studio and am now 7 tracks into my album. I know it’s an odd day here and an odd day there. But I’m juggling work, radio show and football. And of course, it’s expensive!

We recorded ‘A Brand New Battle’ today. I reckon it’s earmarked as a single so it was nice to get it down and hear it sounding good. There is nothing worse than pinning your hopes on a song and then when you add the other instruments, it dies a slow, painful death.

I have a couple of shows this weekend. Check out the gigs page.

They’re only local but as soon as the album is done, I’m off on the road again. I hope Germany kept my bar stool warm.

Help?!

Hello my lovelies!

This might sound like a bizarre request, but does anyone that doesn’t drink actually enjoy Real Ale Festivals? Because if you do, and you live on the Isle of Wight, you could be the man/woman to save the day!

Me and Tim are playing at Rookley Real Ale Festival on Friday Night. Now there is one problem. As it’s a small event, with a tiny budget, we’re getting paid in beer.

Now in the 1960’s it wouldn’t have been a problem. We just get smashed and then drive home.

But…

Drink driving is for mugs.

If anyone fancies giving me and young Timothy a lift, we’ll forever be in your debt!

We’ll pay petrol, get you free entrance to the Festival and chuck you a couple of copies of the album.

G and Tippers Show.

Posted on Leave a Comment

Hello!

This Thursdays show is jam packed with nonsense.

We have 4 separate themes to get you excited. We want your tweets in discussing Tits, Cocks, Balls & Monet Art. We don’t want to attract to many Jeremy Kyle types so we’ve thrown in Monet Art for you culture vultures.

Tweet us at www.twitter.com/gandtippers if you have any thoughts or opinions of any of those aformentioned subjects.

Also this week, we have Welsh band ‘The Undivided’ on the show. We’ll be chatting to their handsome frontman about their upcoming national tour.

In honour of our new resident Mike Gammon, we are launching a new competition in his name. The ‘Mike Gammon Meat Raffle’ will make one very lucky Island resident a very happy bunny.

Me and Tippers will also have a couple of challenges to undertake. It’s as action packed and unrealistic as a Bruce Willis film.

Tune in this Thursday from 7pm til 10 at www.vectisradio.com.

Six tracks into the album…

Posted on Leave a Comment

Hello people,

I’ve just left the studio having completed track number six of my second album. I am finally starting to get the buzz about you guys all hearing it. It certainly won’t be what you expect. It is very different.

Today I finished a track called ‘Jenny’. That means I’m half way through. It’s all downhill from here…in theory!

You know when you feel that one person is ‘the one’? Like no matter what happens or where you are, there is that one person that will forever be inside you heart and head? Every Forest Gump needs his Jenny. Hence the name.

I have a couple of shows this weekend. Check out the shows page!

Hey everyone,

Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet on the book front lately. It is completely written. I just need to sort photos but am having a nightmare.

Most of the pictures are trapped on a corrupted hard drive in Tim’s PC. We’re working on it though!

It will be sorted though I promise!!! xxx
