Future of the Left at the Garage, 3rd Dec 2009

January 12, 2010

I love Future of the Left, and this was one of the best gigs I’ve been to in quite a while, mostly because they are just so damn funny. They were taking the piss out of Kings of Leon the whole night who seemed to have completely dominated the playlist in the pub up the road beforehand. This is possibly my favourite of their songs too, but they started it twice because the crowd were clapping out of time and then because of an equipment issue.

We hung around afterwards and harassed Falco, the main guy, who seemed to be just standing around on his own for some reason. The security guy came over to us and said if we didn’t have passes we had to leave, to which Falco replied: “well, I just played, so…”. Brilliant.

Oh, and we saw Steve Lamacq hanging by the bar.

Here’s me with Marc Riley after playing on his BBC 6 show in Manchester. He’s actually posing with the whole band here, not just me, but this is my blog so I’ve cut them out so you can see me better. My blog, my rules. Really nice guy.

I met Jimmy Carr

January 11, 2009

Now I don’t know about you but I quite like Jimmy Carr. We were in a restaurant in Cambridge when he walked in and got seated somewhere a bit hidden out of the way, clearly not wanting to be disturbed. I asked the waitress whether it would be bad etiquette to go and say hi to him and she implied that maybe it would be, as he often comes in and asks to be sat somewhere away from prying eyes. However, I went and did it anyway. I do remember feeling a slight flicker of fear as he had to pause his ipod and take out his earphones, but he was actually very nice. He even pointed out to my wife that she had her finger over the flash during her first attempt at taking this photo. Does he look slightly uncomfortable to you?

Help For Heroes, Headley Court

January 3, 2008

OK, so the first bit of news worth posting on this new site is that on December 17th 2007, we performed at Headley Court, the armed forces rehabilitation centre near Epsom in Surrey, as part of their Christmas Dinner event for Help For Heroes, which is a group which raises funds for wounded servicemen.

Swimming and weight-training is the only way for injured service men and women to build up damaged muscle and regain the strength to use artificial limbs, so Help For Heroes aims to raise £5million to build a swimming pool and gym complex at Headley Court.

The group is supported by a number of celebrities, and is also heavily backed by publications like The Sun. James May from Top Gear is one such celebrity who, as you can see, was over the moon to bump into us. He actually said we were his favourite band!*

You can find out all about Help For Heroes, and how to offer donations to the cause at http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/ and www.thesun.co.uk/helpforheroes
