Pulse Festival. 10th & 11th May 2013.

I have had the pleasure of being invited to play at this years Pulse Festival, near my hometown, Southampton.  I have heard lots of positive things about the festival from previous years, but have yet to see it myself.
I am looking forwards to enjoying a range of music, and joining many others that are there to support the cause.  Pulse festival was founded in 2010 to support the Childrens Heart Unit in Southampton.  It has been a huge success and continued to grow since it’s set up just three years ago.  After speaking to one of the organisers, Mark Ward, I can only see an exiting future for Pulse, and am very keen to be a part of it.  This year has plenty of things to offer for people of all ages and music genres, and who wouldn’t want to go and have a bit of a knees up, discover some new music, and support such a worthy cause?

Sunday 10th June – The Croft, Bristol

Its been a little while since my last post.  (As I seem to be getting in the habit of going on little jaunts to Europe after a busy gigging week, I have arrived back and feel refreshed.)
The last gig I did before I disappeared was the one at The Croft with Vibratronic, Microdeform and Spaces Between.  This was a wicked night, really chilled sunday of live music.  I was blown away by Liam McConaghy’s (Microdeform) set, and was very surprised to hear this was his first gig as this particular set up.  Me and James were getting into the vibe of what he was doing so much that James took some pics of his set up so we could later argue about which sounds where coming from what.

First up was Spaces Between, who I have shared a stage with before at a Drawn recordings Event back in February.  He’s changed his live set up dramatically from when we last played and now is using a guitar and multiple pedals, created some really nice sounds or noise however you want to look at it.

Then we had Microdeform

myself..doing my usual thing..

and of course the wonderful Vibratronic,

Was a real pleasure to play this gig, thanks a lot to Vibratronic for providing the promo and making it a wicked night.  Really hope to be on a stage with all or any of the people from this night, was a blast.

Drawn Recordings, Bank Holiday all day-er.

Yesterday I played a set at No.51 on Stokes Croft in Bristol.  Drawn Recordings – Bank Holiday all dayer.

I was on at 8pm and by this time the live drawing had just come to a finish in the garden and the evening was kicking off.  Was great fun to play another venue in Bristol, and to be involved with such a nice event.  I followed a folky duo on to the stage and played for half an hour.  After my set was Bannau (Jamie Thomas) – also a graduate from the music course at Newport University.Was a lovely night and a good way to enjoy the bank holiday monday.

update and hello.

As I’ve been a bit quiet lately, I thought it might be nice to do a little post update thing.
I’ve been busy writing a new track, a snippet of which has appeared in a few of my you tube videos and my new set. . seems to have had a positive response so I’m working on getting that done and ready to release as a single along with a secret track that i’ve held back from putting online.. but has been very popular live.

I have been fortunate enough to be asked to play a few events over the next week.

• Firstly Im playing a set at Drawn Recordings All Day event on Bank Holiday Monday 4th June, check out info here.

Its a drawing musicing and pizza eating event followed by another bank holiday we’re all being a bit spoilt arent we.

• Secondly Im playing a set at a new event by a new team of peeps which im really looking forward to.
  On the 8th of June I’ll be doing an hours set at Timbuk2 for a night put on by Ilkin. Link to the event here.Bringing us a night of fresh contemporary electronic sounds. Ilkin have put on another fantastic line up, at the top of if we have the likes of ELIPHINO. The unbelievable success of his latest ‘somethinksounds’ release has shown that this is set to be a massive year for this young producer.I am very excited to see this night and am so glad to be on the line up with such great artists.

• Thirdly, 10th of June, Sunday.  The Croft.  My second time at the croft will be a good one, I’ll be in the back room this time allowing a more easy set up of projections.  I’ll be joining these fellows on stage: Vibratronic, Microdeform, Spaces Between.  Tickets £3 advance, available here.

So thats (nearly) it for me for June.  Apart from this I will be doing a radio interview for Ujima FM, as well as a live set on air.. date and link to listen coming soon!

Big up Queenie.

Simple Things Festival – 6th May 2012

On Sunday I played at Simple Things Festival.
I opened the Thekla stage – upstairs.  I was anticipating playing to a slightly thin crowd at 3 pm, but by my second song the room was bustling with people and a really nice atmosphere.

I played a brand new set for this gig as I thought it was a good occasion to air a new tune. which is unnamed at the moment, but sounded great live and is going to progress on to be my next single.  I played this new set warily - but appeared to go down really well, so much so I’ll probably keep some of the changes for my next gig – at No.51, Stokes Croft – June 4th.

It was such a good afternoon which turned into an even more brilliant night with acts such as Cloud Boat, Hudson Mohawke, Rustie, Squarepusher and so on.

Great event , looking forward to the next one already! Thanks Simple Things.
