... is gonna be a great night. Make sure you're all there and you tell ALL your friends. I know I've waxed lyrical about Fionn Regan to anyone who'll listen and rightly so. The kid's talented, a very good singer-songwriter and his impressive write up's in the major press world should guarantee a big crowd. But enough about him, this is my website! I've got a great set rehearsed to the highest standard I've been at so far for live performance. Due in no small part to both my increased confidence in my own songwriting and my brilliant young rhythm section. See you all there...

Ditto! I can't top what Beryls already said but I've just got to say that last night was undoubtably the best I've ever seen you perform. Enjoyed the set from start to finish and was actually gutted when you did finish - I wanted you to stay on and give us a few more, it was over far too quickly! Kinetic was the highlight for me, had a smile on my face all the way through it, just because it sounded so good and I was chuffed for you that it sounded that good......that makes no sense but I know what I mean!  I don't know the ins and outs of all the technical music stuff but I know what sounds good to me and I thought it sounded great! So fair play to ya Mr Wescott - heres to many more gigs like that!  |

Ah guys you're making me well up! All I can say to that is thank you really. That's really humbling in a strange way because all I ever want is for people to enjoy my music and the fact you obviously did so much has made my day even better... I'm having one of those 'I'm really tired so I'm gonna work really hard so no-one moans at the state of me' days! Christ knows how I would've coped with a hangover on top!  |

Yeah. Think AnB were a bit confused as to my e-mail address and presumed I couldn't use the original flyer they sent me (which in actual fact I never got  ) They then sent me an A4 one on Word which was unmalipulatable (is that a word  ) which took a bit of creative photocopying to sort out. By the time I'd done that I'd forgotten about getting some promo ones with the website/myspace etc details on it which means it was a bit of a missed opportunity promo wise but you live and learn and I've been speaking to a bloke who's managing a big local band in Weston (not my cup of tea to be honest but can't fault the promo package) and in return for doing them the favour of honouring one of their first gigs with my presence as support ( ;D) he's given me his contacts regrading that and they're gonna do me some stuff up for cost price. A back drop would be awesome mate but aren't they really for headlining artists? Dunno... When those Malago tour dates are confirmed and I've got some more gigs then I'm gonna crack on with those fliers but I was concentrating on Wednesday original gigs wise and just wanted to make sure I wasn't out of place performance wise. The music has to come first and I've taken it for granted that I can sing for far too long. I looked after my voice in the run up to the gig, practised and warmed up properly and it showed. Performance wise it was a big step up for me and now I feel without a doubt that I have something worth promoting. I've never had any doubt that I've got the tunes but I guess my confidence was temporarily knocked due to the whole leScour thing or whatever but it's back now. I'm not afraid to say I sang really well. Um, that was a bit of a rant wasn't it? Hectic head! ;D Short answer... Yes you're right Kellie. It was a missed opportunity promo wise Wednesday  |

Ok...... Bear with me this may be painful as I cant attually think about what im writing (heavy night) But yeah normally for headlining artists but dude I figured its not gonna be long now till u are headlining keep going like this and you will be headlining after christmas I would put money on it, Your good enough to and people know u are. As for Rich I think hes a bit stratched at the moment, I havent had a reply to my mail yet and thats REALLY unlike him. But yeah I cant remember what else you wrote so thats about all from me! Argh ate to much pasta |

Pasta's bad carbohydrates dude! Try pine nuts! I know I'm good enough but I can't guarantee to fill venues. My mates all think I'm great and come to see me when they can but I can't expect people to come to every gig, they're gonna get bored sooner or later! What I need is to tap into the student world and unlimited young people looking to go to gigs. I need some radio play and to be plugged as much as possible (in a music industry way obviously!) Quite happy doing one or two gigs a month or something originals wise (one a month in Bristol and one somewhere else) and making sure the promo for both those gigs is spot on and I achieve maximum exposure each time. In between radio plays, internet, posters and flyers and I'll get there. I've got the main bits... ie the tunes, not a bad looking lad even if I do say so myself (! ;D) and a decent performer with a good voice. It's just EVERYTHING else that does me in!  |

But yeah know what you mean, it is freshers week coming up town is packed at the moment with sudents that have just gotten grants! bargin market! I might speak to clifton see if they have any gigs going on that I can throw urs and Malagos name into! Two birds with one stone, owww and maybe the student radio station I know the boys have done that one before, bargin basement!
