Having a nostalgic time, thinking back to 2011 or so.
Watching all the videos of weird jazz I was into, is pretty much the same weird jazz I'm into.
Anyway, here's one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TG0...
The clips where AlasNoAxis got me going. I consumed that record, so cool to see a video of them.

Anyone wish it was 2015 again?
Such an easy time, only a low amount of impending doom.

First time I’ve ever sold out of any merch.
Admittedly, there was only one of them, but still!

Posted on IG, thought I should share here as well.
All photos taken by London jazz fan Peter Freeman from the gigs he came and attended I was playing at. Like a wrapped, but in person.

Is it just me, or are the wrapped posts getting on your nerves as well? On one hand it's great people are talking about records, but it's mostly people saying "what am I like?" because they're still listening to the same stuff as they were in 2004.

Hip Welsh language New Wave. The only welsh language tune I can think of in 7.

Came across this weird record, Rick Laird, who was the original bass player in Mahavishnu Orchestra.

They play Inner Urge, but call is Outer Surge. I wonder if it's some publishing work around.
Anyway, enjoy!

My company food allowance is £50 per day. Realised I can buy a couple of homeless people a sizeable meal whenever I travel and consume fewer calories at the same time. Makes me feel great and have had some great chats with real people. Do it if you can.

Just watched the Oobah Butler doc, it's great. It does show being rich is very much immoral, but we all knew that already.

What a gig!
Side quest moment at the gig;
A woman in the cue from the cloak room heard me say one word and asked me “are you Welsh?” Amazing. Didn’t get a chance to properly Cymru connect sadly. Great there’s a yhwh nailgun fan from Llandeilo though!

Some CDs for sale!
I've found another box of HON CDs, so will be selling them half price with this code on bandcamp;
salehon

Get in there quick, as it'll be cheaper to buy a physical CD with a free DL than just to buy a DL.

Talking about music is so great isn’t it.
Especially about how we approach playing together, it’s almost like philosophy.
(Apologies, I’m a few pints in).

Trying to blow off the cob webs post holiday, 2 minutes of improvising on I thought about you in Db (frank Sinatra key).

Does anyone understand the whole vibe of visa/etias? Do you need them yet for going from UK to EU?

Kind words from Adam Walton, give the tune a presave here;

Who wants an allotment tour from a video I took the other day?
Tough, I’m posting it anyway!

Just saw a youtube video of Oasis coming on stage. Fair play, big intro, I was getting excited myself, but as soon as the song started was like a bloke playing 2 chords in the same way they would around a campfire.
I get it, but equally don't get it at all.

Just Cymru Connected in the library in St Albans.
About 45 seconds, it's a real thing!

Only just found out that you have to pay to use the blackwall tunnel now. I found out the expensive way as well.
