Francis Rodino Band at the Ayelsbury Hobble on the Cobbles……..

What a great day it was, I woke up expecting it to be a wash out, but by about 12 noon the skies had cleared and I set-off for Aylesbury for the annual Hobble on the Cobbles. I spent a bit of time listening to a few acts before meeting up with Francis and [...]

I’m officially old….

I just bought some parts in Highway 101 on Sellaband. So we are told, they are a popular Country group and will get to 50K in no time at all.
Do I like it? …. well it’s fairly harmless to the ears, but I’m not sure I’ll have it on repeat. [...]

A Cheeky Begging Request………

I know this is a complete off-topic cheeky entry which I hope the SAB moderators will let slip by just this once, but I guess nothing ventured nothing gained. I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer last year, and with a good following wind I should be back to normal now that I’ve had the [...]

Stuck Between a Rock and Some Slippery Eels………

I’m in a bit of a muddle with this one. When I joined Sellaband as an investor (believer) I kind of promised myself I’d only invest in artists if, and only if I actually liked their music.
Now here’s the rub, Electric Eel Shock isn’t really my thing, no matter how many times I listen [...]

From My Side Of 40 ……..

Francis Rodino pointed us all to Bob’s blog and asked for our opinions on it. I had a long think about it today, and here’s my view point. It’s not really a direct come back on his blog just some observations and ramblings of my own. Some of it will echo his sentiments [...]

Inspiration…..

I just love those rare moments when I come across a track that inspires me to write music, it doesn’t happen often but it did today when I listened to Rokhsan Heydari’s latest track on SellaBand called “Black Room”. I must get to one of her gigs soon.
I think what I like about her music [...]

An experience……

Well, last night’s audition was an experience if nothing else. They dont want me as a permanent keyboard player, however we knocked though a good few tracks and had some fun…. so from what they’ve said I think I could be there temporary gig man. The keyboard slot is a “guest” slot so I hope [...]

Roll on Thursday………………..

I feel a sense of impending doom as Thursday night draws ever closer. I’ve got an audition with a real working band as the keyboard player… and I quote:
We’ll be honest with you
Which I guess means
If you’re crap we’re going to tell you in no uncertain terms ….and by the way, we’ll probably point [...]

SellaBand Missing a Trick?…………..

I was just thinking on the way home from work tonight that I’m sure Sellaband is missing a key target audience i.e. The under 20s, and I the target audience as “Believers” not “Artists”.
What do I mean?…. well it costs $10 to buy 1 part; not much you may say, but I would have thought [...]

My Second one…………

Picked this one up today. I think it’s excellent. Admittedly the first track sounds a tad like Wonderwall (if you listen to the first few bars of the verses), however I think it’s far enough removed to make it original.

It has a great raw feel to it that I like [...]
