Fatbwoi Live @ The Horseshoe 030612

allo!! is this thing on...?!

so shortly after finishing my set at the charter, i had to dash off down the a43 (with a short burst of up the a43 owing to my navigational ineptness - which we're not going to mention right now) for another slot at the horseshoe in sywell, as part of the jubilee music festival...

opened with the chicken and the dance-moves, as an opening 1-2 combo i am currently quite digging that, before getting a lil' stompy with the one about god (or more specifically, interpretations of god)...

another rare, although seemingly less so if the day was taken in isolation, outing for 'mailman'... before a first ever appearance for new-one 'luggage'... i think i've mentioned that one on this blog before. its quite poppy, with a hint of the eels about it, but its very definitely bwoi...

it went down well, i realised whilst playing it, that it was the first ever time i had played it on an acoustic guitar too... it sounded sweet (imho)...

managed to get a bit of sing-a-long action by dropping the fresh prince over the end of CYHMN, before closing (possibly for the first time ever) with cover/adaptation 'Back In The Day'...

all-in, definitely a top day of musical adventuring, and maximum thanks go out to the wildfire sessions crew for inviting me to play, and also to all the crazy cats that came out to shake a lil' thang - you guys rule!!

peace-out y'all

Fatbwoi Live @ Sunnyside 170412

"but i guess first up i have to apologise to anybody on this side of the room, as owing to being unable to hear out of 'this' ear, tonight i am only receiving (and therefore also only transmitting) in mono..."

"should be all right if you scooch round a bit though..."

allo!! 'ow the devil are you?!

took to the stage tuesday, to shake a lil' thang at sunnyside, with the wildfire sessions crew...

its an ace venue, not one that i have played before, but i certainly look forward to playing there again...

also playing were KRAB, i really enjoyed their feature-set, where-in one half of the duo did christen his first new guitar for 45 years... which in itself is pretty gosh-darn mind boggling...

immediately before me was a short open mic set from andreas rose... he had some funky bluesy grooves, which he delivered in a nice upbeat style... (i think he 'set the stage' quite nicely for me) - i'll definitely be keeping an eye out for him in future...

and as for me...

opened with the one about the chicken, before lurching off into the one with the dance moves... i quite like this as an opening combo, i think it can be a bit mood dependent whether i go with this or the stompier 1-800 combo... but this way round is currently doing it for me...

and it also leaves a nice lil' "bite me" (brass section included) sized space... before i generally pause, and try and figure out just what the hell is going on...

although, to be fair, that's probably just my 'default' setting...

there was another outing for new-one 'modern condition' too... i really enjoyed playing that one, especially as its moved into the 'live mutations' phase of being... i know it fits because i know its alive...

all-in, a top night... i even forgot that i was only receiving in mono once i got into the swing of things. maximum thanks must go out once more to stevie and the wildfire sessions crew for having me over, and to all the crazy cats who came out to play... i had a  lot of fun... i hope you did too

so, until the next time (270412 @ The O.U. Cellar Bar)...

peace-out y'all
