Better Than Sting

Session 2 at the Harp, with a small but perfectly formed crowd. Special shouts to Noreen, and the Irish/Scottish folks, and magician Johnny Cardell. Really enjoyed blagging 'Father and Son', and especially 'Ride On'. Apparently Sting was... See More

Street Gig - I'm So Good, I Scare Myself

There are times when I'm so good, I scare myself. Nine hundred and ninety nine times out of a thousand, there's a crowd of drunks, I knock out 'Don't Look Back In Anger', and everyone's happy. Sean asks me to play that 'that famous Oasis... See More

Street Gig - MC Sami

MC Sami featuring Nadeem and Ali the human beatbox. It's the new MC Cressdog! Sami's got sculpted hair, Craig David sideburns, and sings arabic flavoured R+B. Obviously, it should be dreadful, but everyone on the street becomes his... See More

Steve From Sidney And The 1st Song In Norway

Play 'Love You Til I'm Dead' on Steve Brandon's nice Martin acoustic and Crate amp. He's from Sidney but living with his wife in Berlin, and wants me to email him a couple of photos for his album. Go round exploring the fortress and... See More

Street Gig - The Ballad Of Bevis And The Pig Ugly Peacock

I've never had any fights in my gang, anytime, ever. Somehow there's this kind of friendly hippy enclave around me. Can't explain it, it just happens. But there's one guy being a knob, shouting some stupid drivel about foreigners. Now... See More

Stoner Pagan Sun Worshipping Hippy Lunatic On A Rock In A Stone Circle Gig

We hit the stone circle just in time for dawn, so it's a surprise to find most of the rocks free, so I scramble up the highest one, guitar on back. When the object of our pagan worship pops over the far horizon, I let out a hugh whoop... See More

Street Gig - Wonky Electronics

A good night. All the electronics start off wonky, and need coaxing back into life. Not at my best tonight. But it's OK, lots of fun and giggles, and Bristol looks so pretty lit up on an evening. Paul Campion has a few romantic dances with... See More

Tingling Finger Ends

Hmmm, should have brought more AAs and more chocolate. By 10pm my Zoom H4 is moaning about power, and my hands are shaking with hunger. A nice long evening on Jubilee Bridge West, entertaining the tourists, locals and internationals. Just... See More

GIG - Supporting G-Bone

Supporting G-Bone, short set. Forgive me if I look a bit exhausted at this one, the last few days have been hectic, crazy.

Woolpack, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England · Fri 19th May 2006 · 15:30

Street Gig - Crazy Falsetto

Tonight is a hazy memory of happy drunks. Forget most of their names but Erika, Sarah, Josephin, Erik, Alex, Per and Aage stuck. Aage had this crazy falsetto like Curt Cobain on 'Lake Of Fire', he'd be good at cartoon voiceovers. MC Sami... See More
