The snapshot in the family album....

Last night was all a bit bonkers really, My initial intension was that I was going with my girlfriend to the Picturehouse to have a Pizza and listen to music, and that’s what we did, though as one artist postponed I thought I might do a couple of tunes, and some how it ended up being a Pink Floyd a thon.
I thought earlier that I fancied doing Pigs on the Wing, then one thing lead to another and I ended up doing.

Pigs on the Wing (part 1)
The Post War Dream
Fortunes Light
Morning Dew
Jessica
Mother
Another Brick In The Wall Part 1
Another Brick In the Wall Part 3
Goodbye Cruel World
Comfortably Numb
Broken Dream
Broken Child
Outside The Wall
Pigs On The Wing (Part 2)





So 4 All Living Fear tunes and one Cover + a truncated version of the Wall haha! It was fun with Andy B Playing bongos, and Lee-Anne on the Shaky Egg.

GP Electronics Amplifiers designed and built in Bovey Tracey

The first guitar I ever saw, now with 2 amplifiers made by GP Electronics whom made the first Amplifier I ever saw.  When I was a boy I saw something very magical. It was called an Electric guitar and it had something equally as magical, a thing called an Amplifier. Both of these things were owned by a friend of my parents called John. The Guitar was a 1964 Gretsch Tennessean. When I was 16 I worked all summer on a Building site and saved up enough money to buy said guitar from him.  From that point onward I wished to acquire an amplifier as magical as that moment. This would prove to be a little bit more problematic because it wasn’t a Marshall or a Fender, or even a Sound City or a WEM it was made by GP Electronics of Bovey Tracey. The Small town on the Edge of Dartmoor that I grew up. Now GP stood for Gerry Pope a local inventor whom went from building amplifiers to controllers for hydro electric generators. I knew Gerry as well like John through my parents and...

Queen and Adam Lambert one for the moaners

So the question is how many bands that have been around almost 50 years still have the same line up and have never broken up ? Answer not many the closest is probably U2.  Most major bands have had so many line up changes over the years there may be only 1 or 2 original members left. Robert Smith is the only original member of the Cure, Dave Brock for Hawkwind, Nick Rhodes for Duran Duran & Chris Squire for Yes. Drummers Fair well in that the only long serving original members of Pink Floyd, the Yardbirds & The Animals are the Drummer. Nobody batters an eyelid in that Lynyrd Skynyrd have hardly any original members because of the fateful air crash. Or lack of original members of Big Country  or Thin Lizzy. So why last night was social media full of venom for what Queen are doing these days? Freddie died in 1991 and the band carried on finishing off music and while John Deacon retired Brian and Roger carried on with various musical projects my answer is this Why the...

Top 5 of 2011 1) Upside Down So I started putting together the new band, ‘Secrets for September’ though I put the plan in place in 2009, this year I got it all together, Gumtree and lemonrock found Dave and Marina (As I had Mike on board in a preliminary way) and the first track that we got together was Upside Down. And with a bit of Roger’s Moog magic chucked in for good measure this was almost as perfect track as I could have ever been involved it. They say the proof in the pudding is the eating, well in music its more in the how many wish to put their money where there mouth is, and though you could and still can listen to the track for free on the bands web sites, myspace, soundcloud etc we still managed to sell enough downloads to get to No 2 in the Amazon rock chart and No 1 in the ‘Hot New Releases in Rock’ on Amazon. This was completely overwhelming to me having never seen such a reaction to something new so quickly. By far my proudest musical achievement in my 20 year career. ...
