  • Kinky Friedman

    i‘ve seen Kinky Friedman play far more times than likely, it seems, more often by luck than by planning. Its a pity hes not toured over this way for the last few years and I have no idea how likely his campaign for election as governor of Texas is of success. I guess the obvious answer is the campaign slogan of ‘why the hell not.’ But should it fail, I guess at least we might see a tour once again.

    Anyway, all his early albums are really, really great and the first six or seven of his detective novels are equally so [though I did begin to get a little tired of many of the same jokes come the later ones.] Anyway, by all means visit his current ‘electoral’ site here.

  • Ashton Court Festival

    enjoyed Bristol’s Ashton Court Festival over the weekend. I would place a photo or two here but alas forgot to load my cameras batteries – although with the un-illuminated hike down the rather steep hill out of the estate on the way home, pitch blackness might be entirely appropriate. (Rather than giving out folding Frisbees to the audience sponsors might like to consider mini-torches as next years promotional items, just a thought.)

    Musically the Toxic Dancehall(RIP?) set was good fun and what I caught of Caroline Martin‘s set was good too. I think my highlight has to be the Pie Minister pies though(pic), superb.

  • Screamin’ Festival

    Screamin' Festival

    back from the Screamin’ Festival in Calella, nr. Barcelona, Spain. Personal highlights included a great set from the ‘Gin Palace Jesters‘ and also ‘Sid and Billy King‘. Some photos here.

    As for this website, updates regards recent projects will be listed soon…

    I expect more information on the next festival will eventually arrive online here.

    i‘ll be at the Screamin’ Festival in Calella, Spain for the first half of this month and for a couple of days in Barcelona, I’ll reply to any e-mails, questions or sales[hah!] on my return.

    Can’t say I’ve heard many, if any, of the artists playing the festival this year, but hopefully that’ll all be part of the fun. Maybe some photos up on my return.

    great to see that .

    Worcesters Marrs bar on May 1st. I missed his show there after Christmas but his show there last autumn really was something terrific.
