Bingo. Here’s some photos I took last night at The Premises. It’s quick and dirty but you’ll get the idea. Really looking forward to he gig tonight at The Troy Bar. Hope to see you all there.
Some quick observations:

Ed looks a bit like a cat when he plays guitar
I look a bit of a prat [...]

Why do people vote for right-wing politicians? It’s a question that has popped into my brain on many occasions. I just can’t make sense of it. Whilst my ‘ideological’ beliefs are what right-wingers would most definitely call “left-ist”, I do not subscribe to any of the current (or past) “left-wing” political parties. What the hell [...]

Hello freaks. Just to let you know that Richie has been busy in the studio recently, working on some new tunes. He’s just released ‘Open Up Your Soul’ on his Last FM page so check it out here. Nice little dub number.
As always, would love to get your feedback on these tunes.  C’mon people, let’s [...]

I’ve been busy mixing the music for the next Gold Digger album over the past few weeks. These are the tracks that we recorded the music for last month at The Premises with Steve Ellis from Planck Music. This time around we’re doing all the mixing and producing at home rather than forking out for [...]

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 [...]

Goddamn it, I hate The Daily Mail. A vile, rag of a newspaper. Whenever I stumble across a copy (usually in a takeaway or left on the train) it makes my blood boil with fury at the ignorant, bigoted and outrageous shit they peddle under the guise of ‘news’. I think it’s a sad indictment on [...]

That’s right people, the Gold Digger album ‘Get It Together’ as finally gone off to be pressed after just over 2 years in the making! My God has it been one hell of a journey getting to this point. I’m almost keeling over with relief. Along the way we’ve had to deal with numerous near catastrophes [...]

“Everything. Everything. Everything.” During the Halloween weekend of 1994 I went to my first ever Rave. I was aged 19 and other than listening to some of my brother’s mixtapes, I knew very little about Dance music or the Rave scene. On the recommendation of some friends in the know, we’d all travelled up to Leeds to go a MegaDog [...]

Another curious story from my neck of the woods. Whilst reading the satirical magazine Private Eye this week, I came across the following hysterical article about a guy who happens to live in my local area (Kingston). A stern lesson in why one shouldn’t mess about with dangerous ‘toys’ without supervision. Here’s the article in full:
“At just [...]

Definitely one of the stranger stories that I’ve read in the papers this week. Caught my attention in particular ‘cos part of it was set in in the part of London where I live. It all stemmed from an peculiar article about an american woman called Joyce McKinney who’d recently paid £25,000 to have her deceased pet [...]
