Ok, so there I was, doing the washing up in the kitchen, listening to Radio1, when this awful song comes on the radio. Not only the awful song, but an awful remix of this awful song.
I remembered this YouTube video, and HAD to post it on here. It's an even better version of this song - I feel the altered lyrics carry more meaning. I know it made me laugh. Enjoy.

_ the morning after the night before
It went great last night, got a good response, albeit from the back of the pub, the other side of the bar, and round the corner...as it were. And thanks to Blue Bullet and Co. for the clapping, singing and general support! It was great. You really feed off the crowd with things like that, so it made the night a lot better than it might have been.
Managed to do 2 slots, so Blue Bullet were kind of sandwiched in between me...but I thought they did fantastically, definitely the Pier Tavern's kind of thing.
So, got home at 2am.....and here I am. Back to bed then....

_ a trip to the sea-side
I'm playing tonight in Burnham-on-Sea, at the Pier Tavern...by the sea! I shall be supporting Blue Bullet (www.myspace.com/bluebulletrocks) - a very nice classic rock band from Somerset.
It should be an interesting mix of classic stadium rock, and....well, er, me. Doing my thing. Do come along and join in the fun!

_ all is fair in love and war
So, we didn't win the Lowland Games' Battle of the Bands. Classically.
That is, the judges did not select myself & Andy to play at Glastonbury '08. Which is indeed a shame for all concerned.
However, it seemed that last night I won the public vote. Which, I feel, is far more important. When countless people you have never met before approach you to tell you that the decision made was wrong, that it was an injustice, and that I had been robbed, you can't help but feel a little something inside you that makes you feel you won nonetheless.
Thank you so much to the people who turned up last night and sang, danced and clapped along to William Echo, it made the night perfect, and incredibly memorable. I hope to see you there at the next gig....whenever that might be.

_ the lowland games + the revolution ep = good times
Yessss we are READY for the Lowland Games this Friday, Thorney Lakes, Somerset. Andy & myself have been practising hard to put on the best damn willIAM show this side of Taunton.
PLUS, and brace yourselves for this....
we will have copies of the brand spanking new REVOLUTION EP to sell on the night! Tracklisting as follows:
01. Revolution 21 [radio edit]
02. Ostrich
03. Grosvenor Square
04. I'll Hear None of This
05. In A Birdcage
It's looking pretty damn professional, if I may say so myself. It's on sale for £3, from the man himself.
Look forward to seeing you Friday night!

Andy & myself have been working hard......and have come up with something astonishing. Which is under wraps. So I shall just have to tease you with it - and you'll have to come along on Friday 27th July to witness it.
Its looking good, I like my chances. Which can only be a good thing, leading to a good performance.
Will be selling CDs on the night too.......The Revolution EP.
First I have to make them. Oh dear.

_ the lowland games
Yes! Summer is here, along with the rain.......and the festivals. And so it is confirmed that I shall be performing at the Lowland Games at Thorney Farm in Somerset, competing in a Battle of the Bands.
I have asked my good friend Andy Clutterbuck to assist me in this acoustic set, which will feature the both of us on acoustic guitars and vocals. I can't wait.
It has been a very long time since I last posted a blog, but rest assured, with new rehearsals and something to work towards, there will be more info and blogs to come.
Oh, and did I mention that the winner of the Battle gets to play at Glastonbury 2008? That's what we've been promised anyway.
