About bloody time eh? Well this one has been a fucking epic. I’ve downloaded videos from Youtube and stripped the music off it so I could play a great track from Matt Stevens, jumped through hoops to grab a brilliant track from the great Steve Moyes, had a game of email ping-pong with Joe Potter from the exquisite Jouis extracted a funny line from James Le Blond the Rambling Canadian, grabbed a familiar jingle from Watch With Mothers and I even wrote and performed a sketch. What more do you want? AND included a new song of mine, Love Lies.
Well that’s your lot for another month. I’m knackered…..

This has been one of my favourites. I interview independent artist, musician, dancer, actor and great friend Charles Olsen. He talks about visits to, the now notorious, Branstons Farm in Surrey in the early nineties. Meeting Dave, Paul and myself in the early stages of Drunk on Logic, almost winning the Saatchi prize and living in Madrid. As he lives in Madrid , the only way I could do the interview was to record our Skype conversation and it turned out pretty good.
I found myself without a clip of Charlie playing Flamenco so had to Skype him to send one, only to find that he didn’t have one either. Fortunately he was able to record an impromptu piece on the spot and email it over. What a pro!
His web presence is amazing and has many a site to see as he does so much. Including a blog written in Spanish!
If you use iTunes to download this podcast then you will also be able to see the pics I added, screen grabs showing our Skype/recording session.
I also included one of my tunes as well as a 12 year old recording of Drunk On Logic’s first paid gig.

My longest pod-cast yet! I managed to cram in part 2 of my conversation with the very successful Neil Drinkwater creator, manager and leader of The Red Stripe Band (Jools Holland on Speed!)
Some interesting information on how to make it as an independent musician.
A new jingle for www.youtube.com/yourenottheone.
I even managed to squeeze in two tunes, both from last weeks Pure Acoustica gig at The Dolphin in St Denys. Botyov 1791 singing 17 bottles of Stella and a bargain bottle of wine and me (yes me!) singing a drunken version of Pale Moonlight.
Do you, me and everyone a favour and subscribe to this loveliness by subscribing to this on iTunes. It’s the way forward plus you get to see the funky pictures that I manage to embed !!!
