To be honest its rare unless I am unwell that don’t do stuff that’s a little bit creative/constructive most days but my minds a mystery at times.

Music was my living for a fair while so it would be weird not to. But I always played and made demo recordings way back when and I sold Cds in the days before I was playing regularly in a live band. I never really expected to get on stages then one day I had a dream that I was playing gigs and a strong feeling something different might happen after a night out at a disco. Obviously the desire was implanted deep in my mind A few days latter Vicky called me and said would I like to be in Elephant Shelf which had existed for about a year before I joined in 2004 then everything changed……



Did my thing with The Invisible Folk Club Band at Chesham Fringe. Jonathan Bickley and https://invisiblefolk.com/invisible-folk-club-band at the bank Holiday weekend. A great gig. 🙂
I was way too hot having dressed to play outdoors and it turned out to be in doors due to te weather. I arrived 3 minutes late so joined in half way through the first number (curse of bank holiday M1 strikes again). It was good fun and I had a beer and chatted to lots of people.Only one set about 50 minutes. so finished about 2.40. Chatted with punters and friends for about an hour and had a drink home about 4.30. Annoyingly got a migraine just a few minutes before getting back home. fortunately it came on at junction 13 so I was able to get home through the psychedelia…Flashing lights and a headache. Very rare,for that to happen whilst driving. I might need some prescription sunglasses’ but more lightly stress due to the bad journey going.

Well, thats life. I really do like playing with Jons band. We are in Olney in June: St.Peter and St.Paul – Olney 7pm Saturday 28th June 700th anniversary Church Ale and Hog roast. https://invisiblefolk.com/invisible-folk-club-band

Mostly I am good but a bit tired. I woke up at 06.00. I seem to have fallen into a 6.5 hour sleep pattern in the last few weeks. The relentless march of time I guess.

Wouldn’t it be nice to get all the SPADS and lobbyists working for private companies’ CEOs out of politics… Banish them all to be sheep farmers in the Faroe isles or similar.

Here’s a new tune from me:

Step Up In Line

If it’s not one thing it’s another it seems. For some reason some of my music is being wrongly attributed to having been written by someone else. It seems to be some sort of AI system doing this and not a person? It’s only happening on one distributer though. Weird and frustrating.
If a file with a timestamp is not sufficient proof what is?

Looks like I can’t get Facebook to take down the fake clone profile. About 8 people have reported it so far but to no avail. I just feel a bit fragile. People seem to think I am OK but I often feel like an outsider even when I am not. I have always felt like that so for me its not a Trans thing. Sometimes it’s a very strong feeling and other times its not there at all. It doesn’t take much to throw me off balance though.

So as Facebook in their infinite wisdom have not removed the fake profile using my picture), a warning that I am not sending any friend requests to people already on my FB friends list. If you get a friend request purporting to be me it ain’t.
Quite why anybody would actually want to pass themselves off as me (awesomely talented as I am not withstanding of course) who knows….

Freedom for Tooting 😉
