Meeting Legends and Making Music

Here are a few musical snapshots from Summer 2015:

Over the Summer I did a couple more gigs with Postculture which was great fun.

We worked on some more music together and also a cheeky little video to go along with 'Sunsound', my debut track with them. Have a listen...

I went with some friends to an open mic gig down at The Box Office Bar at The Picturedrome - Gareth and I went along to perform a couple of songs, just for fun. Whilst we were there we got word that the legendary Martha Reeves and The Vandellas were performing on the main stage next door in the very same venue. We snuck over after playing a couple of tunes and got to see them live! It was so amazing! It was doubly exciting for me as not only do I love Motown, but at this point I was in rehearsals for a brand new Motown group The Dazzlettes and had been diligently rehearsing many of their songs! (I will talk more about The Dazzlettes in a future post). We managed to get really close to the front of the stage despite our late arrival and also meet the ladies afterwards. Incredible.

Along with Steve Ansell & The Truth we were invited to be interviewed again by BCB radio station - this time they played some of our recorded tracks, which was fun. I had a lot of creative fun and interesting experiences with Steve Ansell & The Truth, later in 2016 we came to the end of our season together and went onto some new projects. But if you enjoyed Steve's fantastic writing check out the Facebook page of Good Earth Collective. 

Of course I love hearing live music and over the Summer I got to listen to lots of great artists not only at festivals but also a bit closer to home I paid a visit to Holmfirth Food Festival and enjoyed some of the live music there outside Hot Banana Music, and in September I got to see my talented friend Kirstie performing with The Haze  - check out their Facebook page here to hear some of their original music.
