The Billy Goat – Mossley
Lovely boozer the billy goat and a great atmosphere for the open mic night last night. Wiz Mossley’s assembled crew of poets, singers and musicians played to an appreciative and respectful audience and the evening was topped off by the excellent sounds of singer songwriter Chris Turner accompanied on violin by Dave King.
Aiming to expand the set of tunes I can do solo I tried a new one called well informed, which together with into the blue and goodnight sweetheart made up my 3.
Free food by the way. Sausage casserole and some nice butties!
One too many cheese butties caused me to fall asleep during one of my own tunes and for me to develop 3 extra chins apparently.
victory – live recording
The story of Irene Nemirovsky.
Selfish gene – live recording
About not blaming those alive today for the sins of those gone before.
I’m coming through – live recording
Recorded on 5th Jan.
So is incorporating the theme tune from the snooker into the end of this song too cheesy or a stroke of genius. Er? If not the latter then;
It wasn’t me
It was the other 3.
My first time – live
Feeling much more relaxed. It makes it sound better I think. No overdubs, no added bells or whistles, all done in one take. Please listen and leave your comments. Wayne is playing the Kajon or Cajon on this version.
Here’s to new beginnings
So we put a new beginning on it. Don’t worry every single breath remains.
warmth of the sun (be my lover) – rehearsal 280116
A song of 3 halves. As good as we can get it for now!
Freeze – rehearsal 140116
OK so we nicked a line off Morrissey. However “there’s always someone somewhere with a big nose who knows and trips you up and laughs when you fall”. <3
Done – Rehearsal 140116
An older set of lyrics which probably don’t fit the mood of the music but they do seem to scan nicely. The mood of the music changed when Mike (thinking he could master Spanish guitar in one afternoon) watched a youtube video.
