fatbwoi live @ worcester music festival 200811

word-up ye crazy cats! how the devil's is it goin' with you?!

things are, as ever a bit mental on planet bwoi at the minute (although i should state for the record that there are of course different definitions of mental, and it hasn't quite got "don't blame me, blame the ice-cream" levels yet...)

bur the mental never gets in the way of the thang-shakery (although it has been said that the two walk hand in hand) and as such i did step out last week to wiggle it (just a lil' bit) at 'The Boston Tea Party' as part of Worcester Music Festival 2011!!

and i must confess to having had a most-excellent time...

car/parking-related shenanigans meant that i didn't get to catch those crazy less for murder cats whilst they were playing, but it was nice to sit and have a lil' chinwag in the chippy before my set/mooching back up to the venue...

(there was truly supreme toy-shop window en route too... i cannot tell you what was in it for fear of appearing more of a geek than i do now - but rest assured, it was cool)

the venue was top... it had an aeroplane stuck the ceiling, some properly yummy looking cake-age... like, uhm,... props and everything!!

opened with some chicken, lil' bit of tv evangelism, and had just got into discussing the whole running naked around the woods being chased by a bear thing, when the legend that is I've Been Dean (avec entourage) appeared at the door in his glowing daz white jeans...

from there on in, it got a lil' kooky... 8)


we had a bit of a party atmos going on... so the set list got a bit free and easy at the end! i felt bad because i had to deny a request for 'house of corpses' (its been too long since i played it, but i'll slip in sometime soon), but less bad at denying of for the song about the woman with a habit...

instead we settled for a quick burst of the krshna song... proximity to the godhead re-established, we got on with the party...

then in honour of the post-modern one (i.b.dean) i did me a lil' book-ending and closed with an exuberant burst of nandos...

went down a treat...

i even had a portugese dude telling me how his dad makes the best piri piri ever, i asked him to send me the recipe but i get the impression that it may be a 'family' secret, in which case i've asked if he can just send his dad...

no reply on that so far...

all in it was a really good night, met some top new people and got to touch base with some top older friends AND got to shake that thang...

what more can a bwoi ask for?!

(took me friggin' ages to find the car though...)

Worcester Music Festival (19th - 21st August 2011)

word up you crazy cats!! how in the hell's is it all goin?! all good i hope...

most-exciting news and happy time (!!!) as the bwoi gonna be shaking that thang as part of 'Worcester Music Festival 2011' ...running from the 19th-21st August across Worcester, there's gonna be a bonafide multitude of quality musics on display

...and me 8)


i'll be playing at 'The Boston Tea Party', Saturday 20th August, sometime around the 7o'clock mark... (which is pretty precise for me)

oh yes... there'll be a dose of thang-shaking goodness served up for your own personal delectation... why not c'mon down as its FREE entry...

the line-up has been curated by the 'Not Just Sauce' crew and features...

Jayne Gaze
Hitchhiker

Sarah Oreggio
Jane Booth
Carly Dee

i also happen to know that good friends and all round crazy cats 'Less For Murder' are also playing on the 20th... at the 'Swan With Two Nicks', they're on sometime around 4 (i think) ...these crazy cats give a quirky off-the-wall insight into the joys of married life - always worth a watch 8)

it'll be my second appearance at WMF, my first was in 2009 (at The Pheasant) when i stepped in on bass for 'I Am Locutus' with Dale and LC... that was a most enjoyable gig, i remember rushing off to play another set that evening (although the exact location escapes my right now), and wondering if i hadn't slipped a tad too much dub into the set... 8)

happy time

i rather randomly found a pic of the gig online the other day...

thus... 


there i am... :P

peace-out y'all

some dates for your diary...

word up you crazy cats!!!

as previously established, the suits in the government have advised (initially in a white paper, the bill has now moved onto for debate the house) that i must give each and every one of you due and fair warning of any instance where upon i may be spotted shaking that thang on public...

its for your own safety...

they were also insistent that i describe it in an overwordy verbose stylee... 7 words where 3 will do?!

don't mind if i do... 8)

23rd July - G (off of Boomshadow's birthday bash), a secret location, probably in the midlands

peace-out y'all
