Gold Digger Rock @ Kona Mash Up!

Gold Digger Rock @ Kona Mash Up!

Just got back from playing the Kona Mash Up gig at The Drop Off Cafe in the Afan Forest, Wales. An absolutely stunning place, with a great crowd and a wicked venue. We Gold Diggers played two 45 minute sets and had the crowd jumping along and calling for more. In fact, the event organizer loved [...]

Baubles, broke-ness and Brixton...

Baubles, broke-ness and Brixton…

So….Christmas looms. The usual non-Christmasey and more often Pixar-film-based lights are up on Oxford and Regent Street in London and we are all rushing around like loonies trying to buy presents for our nearest and dearest. 2008 has flown by so quickly I can hardly believe were here again, and as usual I am faced with [...]

Recording the 2nd Gold Digger studio album

Was back in the studio yesterday and today laying down the music (guitar, bass, drums & synths) for 10 more  Gold Digger tracks. Great to be back in the studio with sound engineer Steve Ellis. Funny to think that me and Steve used to come raving at this place back in 2000-01, before it got a [...]

Band photoshoot: August 2008

Our Top man Ray the photographer came down to The Premises recently to take some photos of the band before our gig at Water Rats. Here’s a selection of them – we’re thinking we should get a few of these into the inlay of the final album artwork.

Last Shadow Puppets at The Premises

Last Shadow Puppets at The Premises

Looks like our favourite rehearsal studio The Premises in Shoreditch has been pretty busy this Summer, with the likes of the Artic Monkey’s side project, UNKLE, Hot Chip, Klaxons, Kate Nash and that shambolic fool Pete Doherty all being in the house when we’ve rehearsed there. A popular place! Even with the Hells Angels partying at their London [...]

Next Gold Digger Gig

October 3rd: Caterham, The Arc…be there or be a slightly less than round object. x xx

Jimmy Savile & The Cavendish Arms

Jimmy Savile & The Cavendish Arms

Classic gig at The Cavendish Arms in Stockwell yesterday night. Slap-bang in the middle of a pretty rough-looking Council Estate, it was a curious little venue. Behind the bar was a Punk sporting a huge pink mohican, on the counter was a photo of Jimmy Savile shaking hands with Elvis and in the back room was a guy on a [...]
