The Common Room Review

Check out this neat review of The Common Room music weekend by Tom Jowett.  Huck and the Handsome Fee played on the Sunday and enjoyed a great weekend of live music at the Jericho Tavern. 

The Fee have also just had some rather exciting news about a gig we're playing in February. More news to follow in the New Year.

Wednesday 8 December 2010

The hardest thing about being in a band is naming it.

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat... and, with two practices under our belts, the new band is burning to start gigging. The way things are going I think we will be ready by March. 2010 has been a year bursting with music and definitely the best fun so far. Joining Huck and the Handsome Fee and hopping over the pond for our US road-trip tour was an experience I'll never forget. I recorded my solo EP with Humphrey in Martin's Studio 101, and then finally formed my own band. Sounds pretty busy already and I've not even got onto all the great gigs like: supporting Simon Armitage (article here), and Borderville at the Jericho Tavern - Caroline Bird, Yo Zushi and Ute at the Isis - and Ulysses Storm at the Cellar; The Fee headlining London Poetry Systems' April show at the Jam Factory with Laura Dockrill and Luke Kennard; and our fearsome US launch show with Undersmile. Oh, and Glynn Maxwell at The Vaults. So many great bands, poets and artists - racking up the memories! The EP, including artwork by the darkly brilliant Elisa Muliere, will be ready for the start of 2011 to kick-off what I hope will be another year of hard work, exciting times, and plenty of plenty of music.

Gigs this month:
16th Dec: SOLO GIG: I'll be playing at the Brickworks. They are featuring architecture work by Christine Murphy and Christine Murphy, Iris Michailou, Widget, Adrian Buckle and more.

17th DecHuck and the Handsome Fee will be supporting Undersmile's album launch at the Bully with Desert Storm and Komrad.
Thanks to everyone who has supported me thus far and have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!
