Hare & Hounds
I have a gig tonight at the Hare & Hounds in Kings Heath, Birmingham. I’m going to try out some new things with my loop pedal and see what the vibe is like from that. Hope to see you there.
Newcomers – you can hear some stuff and watch some videos on the right there, under Links To Other Things.
Hope you are well.
Last glass of wine
Message to nobody,
I’m drinking that lass glass (and a bit) of wine. There was an existential moment by the bathroom sink – you either brush your teeth now and then you can’t have another glass of wine, or you go have another glass of wine and damn the relatively early night to the fires of hell.
Of course, to be truly rebellious, I could have brushed my teeth and then had the glass of wine, rebelled on a technicality. But unfortunately I didn’t think of that.
The Lunar Society
Hare & Hounds, lovely. Beth Jeans Houghton, fascinating, witty and brilliant. Tim though Nick Frost was there but it wasn’t him, it wasn’t him. Bit of a Five Ways reunion by all accounts.
About us
Not quite as American as americana, not quite as polite as traditional folk, Yeah Sparrow is evolving as the potential missing link between the current proliferation of US influenced singer-songwriters and the future of contemporary folk music on this side of the Atlantic. With regular appearances at top alternative London venues such as the Windmill and the Ritzy over the past year, as well as appearing on two stages at the Latitude festival, Yeah Sparrow are touring the UK in the coming year with a mixture of intimate solo shows from frontman Kevin Hadley, and full band performances that look set to be as playful and impassioned as their lyrics suggest. Think of a mongrel mix of Tom Waits, Elliot Smith and Broken Social Scene, with a falsetto vocal not unlike Thom Yorke, and you’re somewhere close.
