Well...what can I say....I can't find the words....I'm not in the mood.

Ha! You get the idea. Let's travel into thearid Eastlands of loosing your creativity and think about how you navigate a way out.

One way is to do a podcast about it!

A quote from Bowie on song writing leads me down a fruitful open path of celebration of his unaporeciated influence on me.

Weooj at the quest to find the words to describe the unsayable and how we find the music for, as yet unfound melodies.....

❤️ Bowie... RIP

you find me in this episode ten days away from our first 'Songs nobody asked us for' event.

I'm nervous, but also wondering if perhaps this time I've done some good and useful things to promote it.

See what you think :)

Oh no. Get two men together and it's not long before they start talking technology.

Well to be fair, Craig does, as it's not my strong suit and he is pretty savvy with it.

We also do the ritual of two men and their brushes with famous people, which he also wins pretty comfortably.

Hey ho.... :)

today I revisit episode 4 to be curious about whether I've become any better at promoting myself than I was back in the 90's

Essentially, the Jury is still out....but it's a modern world and times are different .

So. There's Eddie and there's Zac. And their in a car park, on a wobbly phone.

I'm at my desk drinking nice coffee and sneaking a custard cream.

Eddie and Zac are standing outside a funeral parlour. They are in the Bristol based band Factor 50, but wait....they are speaking to me in Falmouth.

It's all go, and I need another custard cream, but I'm having fun. Come and join us as we decide if Bristol is actually the south west, and generally put the world to rights. Great guys (despite causing me editing nightmares!) and a really interesting band....here we go. .

How does age work for and against us in the music world. Has this shifted over time as ao many of our music icons have grown older but still perform?

What am I missing out on as an older songwriter/performer? And shifting instruments to preserve fingers :). Thank goodness I'm still only 23......

The glamour, the joy....blue smarties and yellow m and m riders.

Well. Not exactly. This is my slightly anxiety filled experience

Alot of pain for an hour or so of exquisite joy ... :)

meet the Ragdolls! Really great indie band giving me a real nostalgic feel for playing in London in the late 80's early 90's.90's.

We talk influences and aspirations, double basses and drums, and the 'joys' of playing to dog walkers in an outdoors cafe :).

Really lovely people playing great music.. ....track down their music now!

My conversation with Holly last episode made me want to look back to really ponder on whether playing original music successfully was actually any easier in the 90's than it is today.

I also share my one rejection letter I still have from a record company....can't get much more exciting than that!!
