Festival Weekend - Artsfest AND Booze Fusion (September 10th/11th 2011)

word up ye crazy cats!!! how the devil(spawn) is it going...?!?

this just in, some exciting developments down home on the farm... it is with much joy and happiness that i can confirm that there's gonna be a festival weekend - hell yes!

the bwoi gone be shaking that thang across two different sites on the weekend, for your own personal delectation, and in line with my legally obliged civic duty... i just thought i'd let ya know 8)

so where does this goodness take place...?!

first up...

ARTSFEST 2011

Artsfest is the UK's largest free arts festival, and takes place over the weekend September 10th/11th. It features a series of events across Birmingham, celebrating the West Midlands most talented performers, artists and creative projects... (http://www.artsfest.org.uk/)

...and it also features me!

i'll be playing at The Flapper and Firkin on Sat 10th, fully primed up and ready to go... hitting the stage about 15.00hrs... with the whole FREE entry thing going on, excuses not to come down and bust some moves/indulge in some quality arts/music goodness are limited...

BOOZE FUSION FESTIVAL 2011

Booze Fusion is a 3day festival running from 9th-11th September at The Vic Bikers Pub in Coalville... and promises to be a top weekend of music and beer goodness!! Day tickets are a 20th century low price of £5, and camping is free (although distributed on a first come basis... so's you takes your chances)...

I'll be taking to the stage at some point on Sunday 11th September, stage time tbc...

But I'd strongly advise you to come down, there's both a main stage and an acoustic stage, and i know for a fact that the most-excellent Grace and The Magic Roots are playing on Sunday too...

Excuses, again, are few...

Maybe we can shake some thang together?!

peace-out y'all

just a quick reminder (in-line with government legislation obviously) that there's three places you can catch the fatbwoi shakin' that thang this weekend... two are beer festivals, and all are free entry so the reasons not to come down and indulge yourself in a bit of thang-shakery are limited...

the organisational abilities of a sweet potato...

...i used to have a snoopy filo-fax, it was proper quality too. the binder-y bits were sturdy, and all of the little divider cards were properly reinforced (and spill resistant) - happy time.

there was a section for addresses, a diary, and even a bit of space for some notes...

filo-fax avec 'zero snoopy'...

it never got lost, because it never left the house... i was 10 (and it was a touch on the unwieldy side)

i don't remember ever having expressed any explicit love for snoopy at anytime... although i did like the voice of the teacher in the cartoon (and he was always on the back of the paper at the junior bwoi homestead)...

but yeah... obviously it became essential in organising my hardcore social life... keeping up to date with the machinations of the political machine etc etc...

it disappeared over time... perhaps it would have been more useful if it came in a small digital bundle... some kind of ubiquitous electronic device that fits in your pocket, perhaps it could even be expanded to include additional functionality such as (i don't know) voice calls and image capture?! far-out...

but it never happened at the right time, and by the time it did... i'd got used to doing it all in my head...

oh yeah... seamless integration and kilobytes of processing power...

bod can jump?

bod CAN jump!

not bod, repton... but whoever expected me to make sense?!

until yesterday...

when i accidentally misplaced a gig (by about a week)... oops!

yeah, it would appear that rather than travelling twice in two weeks... i shall in fact be doing a short 3day 'mk and other midlands' tour next week...(!!!)

3 days - 3 gigs... and a lil' bit more logistical business than i at first thought... 8)

so here's the shimmy you crazy cats.... i apologise for not being in northampton last night (and i blame the sausage and cheap pasta sauce thing me and the amazing lady linenwrecker cooked up last night!)... but i will be there next week...

thus...

sat 18th june - Cross Keys Music and Beer Festival, Milton Keynes 

- all day event, onstage 17.00hrs

sun 19th june - Bat and Wicket, Northampton - doors at 20.00hrs

mon 20th june - Rowell Charter Beer and Acoustic Festival, Rothwell 

- all day event, onstage 12.15hrs (ish)

so why not c'mon down and shake some thang... its a tour, there is beer, and the golden rule stands...

what goes on tour, stays on tour

right on 8)
