...Usual things. Ain't no new things...
Tuesday, 24th June, 2008
Ain't no new thing at Filthy's is back this friday. I personally cannot wait. It's the start of a heavy weekend before flying away to the Garden Festival in Croatia for 10 days. It's going to be HOT.
There is also going to be yet another new event for Ain't No New Thing starting in August at the lovely Barrio North in Islington. First night will Be Friday 1st August - so put it in the diary now!
PLUS! I have just confirmed that I will be DJing at the Lake of Stars festival in Malawi in October. This event looks amazing - you have to check it out.

Favourite Things...
Sunday, 15th June, 2008
June is flying by quicker than I can keep up with. A little bit of sun outside today, but I've been mostly in the basement again.
Pieces are finally coming together for the album, I'm getting e-mails from contributors with all their parts and I'm in the process of trying to finish off the second single for this year. More on that very soon.
Tomorrow night I'll be playing a few records at the new Proud Galleries in Camden for Dom's Favourite Things night. As usual the live band will be there jamming and bringing guests up to do their things. But I'll be playing some of my favourite jazz records. Come and join us. More info at www.wahwah45s.com
Catchup
Friday, 6th June, 2008
Last week at Ain't No New Thing was a little quiet but a lot of goodness.
Our veryu good friend Mr Picko-D came down from Manchester to play
a few records. Later we moved along to Gramaphone for more entertainment
and some more great records from Picko-D and ended up seeing a cricket
rave on Brick Lane at 5am!
I have been busy playing a few gigs with different bands - the BGT and Mark Thompson and friends (including a little set at the Small World Festival in Kent) and tonight myself and Sid Ford will be clashing with the Soul Identity crew at Barrio North. Get there if you can.
Plus, a new podcast should be up in the next few days.

Splendidly Blended podcast 6 - November 07
Thursday, 8th November, 2007
Autumn, ahhh, lovely.
So everyone has started thinking about Christmas, there's a new shop on Putney high street selling bulbs (of the lighting variety) and it has the largest motorised Santa Claus I've seen in some time. I've bizarrely made plans for my Christmas already and I am beginning to panic about whether I got everything done this year that I should have... the answer is no by the way, no I haven't. Not yet anyway...
