One more sleep until I see the lovely GIO! In Glasgow!

First four events for "The Family Album"... #newmusic #derbyuk

Bit more time before packing for Glasgow! Very much looking forward to the train journey: phone off, put in some Battle for Wesnoth time!

Would appear that a large portion of Scotland is coming to Derby as I am leaving!

Glasgow. The Midlander draws closer...

... although half an hour later than scheduled.

Such a great time playing with GIO, Tam Dean Burn and Kate Cotter's great film yesterday! Thanks to all who dodged the rain!

Off with GIO to play a children's hospital today!

The next thing—in London with vibes buddy Martin Pyne!

Cath Roberts, Tom Ward, Chris Williams and Colin Webster, performing new dark art yesterday. Amazing day!

Dear YouTube, please hurry up with the uploading. Thanks.

Did you know that I programme occasional improv gigs for Derby Jazz? Check out #2ndline!

Also: did you know that I've started a series of early evening gigs called The Family Album? Check that out too!

And besides: did you know that I'm clawing my way towards the end of my Master's degree in music research? You can read about that as well!

Pro tip: always check that you didn't accidentally mute part of a video BEFORE you upload it.

So very annoying.

Tomorrow: I'm in London with vibes wizard Martin Pyne!

new dark art renditions: the first with Cath Roberts, Tom Ward, Chris Williams and Colin Webster.

Audacity! Enabling me to analyse this music using labels. Thank goodness.

Derby City Council is asking citizens to help balance its budget. Like the idea: but where are the councillor allowances?

Taking a break from a break. As you do.

Have I been busy? Yes! Did I also take some time out to relax? Yes! Have I finished my essays? No!

But the essay dies today.

[possibly]

Currently finding dates around April/May for the the trio. Who wants a bit of #openlivingmusic? Let me know!

Right: back to analysing.

What kind of bird is this?
