fatbwoi live @ the old market inn 020511

ja, for sure, and *shock horror* ladies and gentlemen... yup, it would appear that i have actually written three music-related posts in a row!!! cue collapse of world economies and world-wide launch of demented computer virus... like y2k - but bigger

...do i get a goldfish?! probably not... but that does remind me of a recent trip to stourport where i was amazed to see a darts game on the fair where the prize actually was a goldfish (in a bag)... you could of course buy yourself a lil' goldfish bowl of the same stall, for a prize, which struck me as a lil' unsporting...

surely you could make the bowl the prize on the slightly harder machine-gun game next door... and if you only wanted the bowl not a goldfish... well, job's a good 'un...

zombie goldfish... ina bowl

but the music (yes always with the music and NEVER with the lasers... obviously)...

went down the a14 last night to shake some thang at the old market inn, kettering... and i done did have a me a most-excellent time...

opened with... well a technical hitch, as the white lead decided it was no longer for this world... so actually opened with 8bars of beat-boxin', as you do... and then the one with the chicken...

then the bwoi done did drop a slice of metallica... its always cool if, whilst explaining its (complete non-) relation to the original if i can persuade a couple of people to hum the original bassline to themselves... its a short and sweet one - and i do enjoy playing it....

stevie caught a lil' vid of jazz hands... i noticed that i actually missed a 'jazz hands' there, so if anyone was playing along... i'm sorry, i left you hanging for a while there...

all-in it was a top night, proper enjoyed it... thanks to stevie for inviting me to play...

that's two stops down the a14 in the past week... one at j3, the other at j7... was talking to the big O on the funk-telefon earlier, and we came to the conclusion that i should arrange an a14 tour... see if i can get all the way to felixstowe?! gotta be good for a giggle right?! and the tour t-shirt can ripped straight from the a-z...

happy time

fatbwoi live @ the rowell charter inn 270411

they mostly come out at night... mostly

word up you crazy cats!! hows it all goin'...?

played me a lil' set at the rowell charter acoustic club last night, and had me a most-excellent time... ja, for sure! not only was there a distinct shaking of the thang, but also some new stuff, a discovery, and only one minor bwoi-head/ceiling collision - happy time

i never hit me head on the beam above the stage... i see it happening everytime i walk into the pub, but it never actually does! its definitely a very short pub... as for the low ceiling over the step, well yeah... spoke about it with stuart, brained myself on-it about an hour later... managed to look casual - sssshhhhh, no-one need ever know

but the music... ah yes, always (or rather never) with the music (normally first preference goes to the lasers!!!)

there was some chicken, some zombies, ...bit of god - usual suspects (and ting)

also dropped me a bit of 'sunny afternoon'... and without g (of mighty boomshadow fame) to back me up, i done did have to sing the words myself... and it actually had two different verses (!!!)... and the obligatory dose of swing...

also played completely totally new-one 'bite me' ...the one in which i get to pretend to be a trumpet - happy time ...its got the rhythmic stops too, i was being all conceptual and replacing every word stop with the action... guess i'll be doing complex installations next... 8)

and what did i discover...? a new flavour of crisp... that is more than ronseal *shock-horror* yes, it actually did more than it said on the tin (packet)... but i cannot tell you what flavour they were, only that whilst good they were not as good as the paprika - they got some kinda super-injuction (or something)

ok, maybe i can tell you one more thing... the colour of the packet, whilst appropriate, does not match the flavour. however to do that it would have needed flecks of green, red and possibly brown, and let's be honest about it, that's never gonna look appetising... think about it, we're all down with the whole red-is-ready-salted (blue is cheese-and-onion... or whatever) concept, but by the natural extension of this, who's gonna want to eat organic-technicolour crisps?!

peace-out y'all
