Great night last Friday at Jan’s Bar. Great audience, they’ll have to get some more chairs in, front bar was full by 8.20pm.

Looking forward to playing with Kenrick Rowe this Friday at Jans Bar. Diane McLoughlin will be guesting on sax.
I’ve been reading a fascinating book about equal temperament. I’m beginning to appreciate the effect it had on music. Interesting how some cultures didn’t take it on because of the effect on the vibrational qualities of music. As a guitarist I can still manipulate sound in microtones. Been experimenting with Ragas with an App called Real Tanpura. Fascinating.

Lovely day so far, red roses from my love and a gig tonight. We’ve sold out, there may be some returns
otherwise see you at the next one!

This Sunday night, the Vortex is the place to be, just you and me, and the Electric Landladies – Unplugged, and the audience. Can Money Money Money (Abba) work as a Brechtian Cabaret style lament? Could Coltrane have infiltrated the Bee Gees? We are the Time Ladies as we travel through musical space in our Altardis mucking things about. It’s such fun!
