TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILE TOUR
As you can see from the gigs listings, I'm back on tour with Mr Gavin Osborn in December. We're calling it the 'Trains And Automobile Tour' and you can find the DELIGHTFUL poster, along with further details and links to tickets, over on the gigs page HERE:

TOTALLY ACOUSTIC
This month we've got the Patron Saint Of Totally Acoustic, Mr Pete Green, as well as Mr Martin Austwick making his DEBUT for us. You can also catch up with last month's show, featuring The Mini-Skips (or at least A Mini-Skip) and 'Jurassic Park: The Musical' right HERE:

GOGO PENGUIN
I've entered a competition remixing the song 'Fort' by the band GoGo Penguin. I have basically FIXED it by adding a bunch of guitars and a chorus, and I reckon it turned out pretty flipping catchy. You can hear the start of my - surely inevitable - career in mixology right HERE:

AND FINALLY
Over the past few weeks I've written several topical songs for NewsRevue, a live weekly sketch show at the Canal Cafe Theatre in London. They're well-known pop songs with the words re-written for the purposes of satire/comedy/both. It's been really good fun to do but I AM slightly worried that I might finally be turning into the 21st Century Richard Stilgoe! If you're in London town at weekends you can go and judge for yourself, HERE:

And with that ALARMING mental image I think we'd better close for this month - thanks for listening!


Cheers,

Mark
