Vlog, Blogs, Streams and all that...

Its funny people always say to me, oh you should do an online gig, or stream or write more and to be honest I really couldn’t be bothered with it all. However I have enjoyed other peoples video streams mostly people talking about stuff rather than playing music. David Hepworth and Mark Ellen’s Word in your ear video interviews have been fantastic. 

 Anyhow I decided to give it a go. I did a facebook live and at the same time I also filmed it properly with a real camera. So here is my first one. I have also snipped the Music only segments into a video only section. If these proves popular I may do some more. I might even stare doing the odd bit of writing too.

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 the locals am

The South West Music Awards 2013

So that was the South West Music Awards 2013.  It took place at 'Charlie's Live Lounge' a new club thats by the Pizza hut in Cowick street. As you go in you get the feeling that normally its a venue that plays dance music to boys and girls in track suits and Burberry Caps.  A truly horrid venue where they charge £10.70 for 1 glass of wine and one bottle of Kopperberg. while trying to order a lemonade and blackcurrent the barman had no idea what blackcurrant was in any way shape or form. The PA was appalling, you could not hear a single word for the first few hours as the mic was distorting to buggery. The locals were getting restless as they had nowhere to sit, many who had travelled a fair way to get there.  Far less movers and shakers there than usual but good to chat to a few of the great and the good such as Jackson Cooper, Adam Isaacs, Chris Mockridge, Marie Belsten, Lee and Lisa Fletcher, Andy Botterill, Andrew Padfield and Sarah Woodward as well as the Sirens g

  Wow it would appear that I haven't actually done a roundup for a while, 2021 for some reason got missed out. Oh well.  2022 was always going to be an interesting year, It was the year to bring me a new decade, and having to admit that I might be properly middle age. It also meant that my band All Living Fear was also a whopping 30 years old. More on that later.  The Locos in Exeter Jan 2022 I had been beavering on with my electronics work and my YouTube channel. One of my videos went viral in the end of 2021 and a few others got a lot of traffic, this gave me a massive boost of views and subscribers and it wouldn't be long that my channel became a proper thing, that has started generating a little bit of an income, so I am very grateful to all of my subscribers there.
