so after my spate of backing tracked gigs, I came to the conclusion (as did a number of sound-men along the way) that it might make for a more spontaneous live performance if I got in some other musicians. And that's exactly what I've started doing. Things are looking promising, and will hopefully start rehearsing for an EXCITING all NEW LIVE EXTRAVAGANZA performance that will BLOW your PROVERBIAL SOCKS OFF.
Ok, well I don't want to get your hopes up too high, it'll be an alright band...
I'll keep you posted. In the meantime enjoy some classic Cleese.

_ all quiet...or is it
kinda forgot to post a post saying HURRAH LONG LIVE THE KING, I was too busy being pleased with the result of the election.
things have been quite quiet (don't those two words look good together?) here...apologies for the lack of posting. I have been writing new songs, working on old ones, and generally psyching myself up for live gigs. I'm playing at the Constitution in Camden this Friday, come along and chances are you'll probably hear a new song =] Details on www.williamecho.com
In the meantime, enjoy Ancient of Days by William Blake. Possibly my favourite watercolour relief etching ever.

_ election day
...nail biting stuff. all I can say is, may the best man win. and we all know it is really only a one-horse race...but then again we all know about rigging and what-not. So good luck mr. B.O (with his unfortunate initials), I hope the system this time is fair.

Happy Halloween everyone...if you celebrate it that is. If not, have a happy 31st October...for whatever reason it may make you thoroughly happy.
Remember, I'm playing this Sunday at the Cross Kings - in Kings Cross. Well, not in the station, but very very near by.

_ neeew shooooes?
well no actually, but I do have some new gigs. Well, one confirmed gig and one maybe on the way..
I'll be playing at The Constitution in Camden, which by all accounts is a nice little pub by a river that hosts some great live music. It's on Friday 21st November and it would be great to see lots of people there, as ever. I'll let you know about the other gig once I know more. In the meantime I'll just admire the snow falling outside.
*edit*
I'm playing this Sunday (2nd November) at the Cross Kings in Kings Cross...within walking distance of the station. So, you could even pop over from France on the Eurostar, see me play for FREE and then get a train back to Europe. Or you could just get the Tube there and get in for free...
Did I mention it was free? It's free entry. Get there for 8pm!
