Sussex beach

So here I am in the studio waiting for the watchmen to come and rehearse tomorrow morning. I'm sleeping here tonight and as I set up the studio in preparation. I am very aware of the chemistry needed in a band scenario, the musical bond that is needed to create something more than the sum of its parts, and the belief in the song itself. It's what makes a good band great and can make a great band crumble again when the fire is gone.

We're going to record what we rehearse over the weekend for reference and documentation. Hopefully the songs come to life, the story will have soul, and the people involved will be boarding the train of musical fulfilment. My point is, the transition to band has always been an intense subject for me and I'm very much looking forward to playing with my friends and bringing these snapshots of emotion to life.
It's more than playing some songs to me, it's finding a place of balance and harmony between the players personalities and the songs own presence. It's a fascinating experiment and a learning curve for myself as now it's not just me stearing the ship...three others are on board all influencing the destination. Dave jones, Matt Eldridge, and Loz bridge are some of the best musicians in the south ..... When I say musicians I don't mean music theory professors I mean emotional players ...the real kind... And I thank them for giving their time to my songs

Yes I may be a little drunk, but let's see if we can make the 3rd of December a night to remember

I raise my tired, slightly jittery drunk hand to the watchmen

It's a lonesome ride usually
Good night x
