Stage Hand
So this week has had an international flavour - if you include the Isle of Wight… Work is nearing completion on Manu Larrouy’s debut album (to be released on Motown France) which i’ve been involved with over the last 3 months. Working with Manu has been a great experience and his album will be massive wherever French is spoken. On Tuesday we had a last minute session with me on the vibes, an instrument I never would have thought i’d have an album credit for!
On Thursday Bushwalla blew into town and after a quick coffee (and a rehearsal) we rocked the Komedia in Brighton opening for Two Spot Gobi. This was my first live show since injuring my hand so I was pleased to get back in the saddle once again. Bushwalla has another UK show - headlining in London on October 21 at the Enterprise in Camden and i’ll be playing bass for him once again. Check bushwalla.net for more info.
And then on Friday it was across the Solent to the IOW to spend some time with the future of the music industry in the company of the students from Platform One. It was a privilege to speak to you all and thankyou for the wonderful reception you gave me.
So to this week which sees the return of my lounge covers band “Gregorys Sofa” - we are playing at the Duke of Norfolk in Brighton on Thursday night from about 9ish, and as always it should be a lot of fun. And hopefully a return to the squash court in anger…
