This weekend had more of it’s usual share of thrills and spills as my band and I have been shooting a live video plus the recording of a live EP. I spent Friday setting the stage, co-ordinating various elements required for the recording (projectors, lighting, food and beer deliveries!) as well as taking not a passing interest in bassist Paul Powell’s incident filled journey from Malta to Brighton. Despite a few trials and tribulations we managed to film the live show - if an hour late - before Paul had to race off to Paris for another show… Video is currently being edited and there will be some audio for your delectation as soon as I can physically organise it.

So - to the role call of thanks. First the band who worked so hard:- Steve Allsworth, Paul Powell and Adam King, the video team - Tom Rochester and his crew, pro-tools and cowfoot by Brother Pelanconi, Paul Harrison for his conceptual help and the Giant MAX (!), Will Matthews for the projector, Jim for his video footage, Paul Smith for staying awake long enough to take some photos (and giving me a bed for the night - see below), Sarah for asking the questions, all at Scream studios for their help and support - especially when I discovered my keys had gone to London, Gio at Country Wines for helping me out with the beer for the thronging masses, and lastly - everyone who came down to support on the day and make ut feel like a real gig.

There is lots of other good news on the way - as soon as I have recovered will post again…
