THE STORY
With World Cup coming up here’s something for a really great cause. Chase Bridge School is a stone’s throw from Twickenham Stadium. I put the music together then helped a few kids compose lyrics and put together a dance that celebrates the traditions of New Zealand rugby and support the England team this September. England International, Joe Worsley, popped by for a session and came up with a few words to add to the track.
We took the song along to The Sanctuary Studios, home of award winning producers of Plan B’s ‘The Defamation of Strickland Banks.’ With the help of my colleague’s singer Katy Seath and Plan B producers David McEwan and Eric Appapoulay the students spent an amazing afternoon recording their World Cup Song.
Ealing Jazz Festival gig!
Headlining the EALING JAZZ FESTIVAL Saturday night was a blast. The band had a great time, and judging by the audience reaction the audience did too. It was probably one of our best gigs. The weather was on our side, and a packed crowd were up for it. So it was lovely to see so many friends come down. In fact, a dear friend, Gethyn from Hong Kong, surprised me at the end of the show. So thanks for coming down it’s wetted our appetite to do more festivals.
O-Generator Music App Tutorials – I’ve been spending time in a lovely apartment in Turkey ‘decompressing’. It’s given me time to mess around with our music composing Apps. It’s cool I’ve been able to check out all sorts of music. So I’ve taken a variety tunes ranging from Hip-hop, to Pop and Dance. I’ve made sketches, analysed them. We’re going to be putting them out on our Youtube channel each week over the coming months.
Drummers Magazine Interview - Cassell ‘the Beatmaker’ did a great interview in this month’s Drummer Magazine. It represented the person I know, humble, honest, focussed, unbelievably talented, hard working and a really lovely person. Good on ‘the Beatmaker’ for mentioning his work with us.
That’s it.
Cheers
