    Gainsborough Voices – tickets…

    I’m really pleased to announce that tickets are now available for Gainsborough Voices at The Old Nick, Gainsborough…

    Nice little review for Hello ep

    One of the things I love about the various little electronic music communities/bubbles is the sheer amount of Good People that exist in them. Etherdiver over on Mastodon (https://ravenation.club/@etherdiver) regularly invites folk to send him links to their music and he commits to listening for at least 15 minutes and writing about the music on…

    Gainsborough Voices: Saying Yes…

    Talk About The Passion… A few months ago I was sat in Spokes coffee shop in Gainsborough chatting to Nicola, the Gainsborough Town Manager, about the Lincolnshire dialect. It’s a particular passion of hers, and a chance meeting between my Mum and Nicola had led to Mum saying I’d been doing some work with recordings…

    There’s something happening here…

    There’s been a lot of turbulence recently around many of the tools indie musicians use to promote and sell their creations. Twitter was a huge vector for Spreading The Word, and that continues to go down the pan. Even when it works folk feel uncomfortable using it. Facebook has been moribund for ages. Spotify, though…

  • New gribblytunes, if you missed them…

    I recently did a bit of a low key release, just announcing to my Bandcamp followers. Even though I’m working away on things, it’s been a while since I put something out. So I took a couple of tracks that weren’t really fitting the feel of what I’m working on, and popped them out as…

  • The best laid plans…

    Despite not making any resolutions (because experience shows that one is setting oneself up to fail – but that probably says more about me than NY resolutions 😉), I find this time of year is a good time to take stock. So here are some musings on some of the things on my mind in…

  • …tap…tap…tap – is this thing on

    To be fair, you can comfortably ignore this. I’m playing. This post originated in the blog on my website. It should automatically appear in Mastodon/Fediverse and Hive.Blog For no other reason than I want to see if it appears, here is a picture of some #bleepbloop machines in my studio. It was taken a while…

  • Sunday night musings – My ‘Studio’

    I’m sat here yet again thinking about how to arrange my studio. I think it’s a recurring thing with musicians. And for me I also think there’s a little bit of prevarication mixed in as well. 😉 Sus-Sus-Studio Although, I do have a bit of an excuse. We recently had a bit of a room…

  • I think we’ve passed this tree before…

    Time flies. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve posted I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve (re) started blogging. Given I was posting stuff online in the mid/late 90s, and never really managed to keep things going, it’s been a few. My problem is twofold – I always seem to have other…
