Thought as this hasn't exactly kicked off yet I thought I'd let you guys on here know about a cool gig coming up in October. It's gonna be on Sunday October 22nd and is strictly speaking a private party in that the performers involved invite a select little audience and play a filmed set in the coolest setting ever quite close to Pilton in Somerset. If someone could sort out a couple of cars or a van or something and split travel costs like that I know my dad would drive. Depends on how it sounds to people? I know it would be a good networking opportunity as much as anything for people. The site is run by Dizzi and Zak who live in a bus on site and have a marquee set up for bands to rehearse and recording and broadcasting equipment on the bus. They have worked really hard at landscaping their land and have created a natural 'rock stage' in a hollow edged by trees. It is magical and has tremendous visual and perhaps even spiritual qualities. If people definitely interested in attending let me know via a personal message or something then I can let my dad know some numbers and we can start organising transport. Thought I'd play 'Kinetic', 'Yeah Yeah', 'Ignorance Is Bliss' and 'So Confused' by the way

Oh you poor thing! About that, borrow mine for a while if it helps. No problem It's a pretty cool idea but I need to speak to them about sound etc as that side of things wasn't great at Pensford! They're really nice though and very professional. They were thrown in at the deep end at that thing above. They know lots about the logistics of touring. Dizzi played percussion with Nizlopi for a bit, Zak was around when Malcolm McLaren made millions out of 'crap music and crap clothes!' There's some pretty cool bands on that scene too. The Haze, Clumsy, Tijuana and Blackbud spring to mind...

Cool if you two are up for it by the way. My dad is coming round a bit later so I'll talk to him later about transport. Think we should be able to get a van for reasonable money. Danny and Bill should be up for it. Maybe Alex and Gully. Hopefully Rob. My dad could have anybody with him, who knows? I'll mention it to big Dave. Em obviously. Hopefully Rich and Emma. Jon and his missus, Rob Watts. Little Russ. Lorna. Shane & Maudie might be interested. Mr Koulias etc. We should get a little mini bus load. Hope that's ok with Dizzi and Zak, I'll check! This whole thing may be a bit much! Should be cool though. Needs a bit of atmosphere for people to perform so if all performers bring a little crowd with them, their little plot of land will be full. Now ladies, remember to wear suitable footwear! Wellies or something similar may be advisable or old trainers! Plenty of gravel areas anyway but it is RIGHT into Glastonbury Festival territory.
