All Stand, Please
We had a good Lunacy Board session last weekend – first time using the new studio set-up, which worked out pretty well, though we didn’t exactly put it all through its paces. Sean brought a few ideas for lyrics and…
Playing in the Air
I’ve been giving some more thought to the whole idea of a public performance on theremin, should I ever be in the position to do so. As I mentioned previously, I don’t think a guest spot with the band will…
Flux Sake
I’ve had a fairly hectic few weeks between various gigs, changing jobs and increasing family taxi services. Another two live sound gigs – one very cool show in a barn as part of a party/barbequeue/dance/shindig event, and another more local…

Where did June go?
It seems like a couple of days ago that I last posted here, but looking at the date it turns out to be almost a month. So what on earth have I been doing? To start with, the local band…

The sun is out here and I’ve got 10 minutes to spare, so I’ve tidied up the Deserters front page, removing all the old ‘Track of the Week’ entries and replacing them with a single list of links to the…
