July was some month (part 2: the Viking thunderclap)
I knew we were on to something special when the Viking thunderclap started up. The rest of the time – those sad, negligible 362 days of the year when we’re not at Indietracks – it’s easy to feel discouraged because no-one is listening. To feel the zine or blog, the club night, the label or the album you’ve been pouring all your soul into is … Continue reading July was some month (part 2: the Viking thunderclap)

Eeeeeeeeeee, I’m on at Indietracks!
As you may have already seen – particularly if you follow me on Twitter, where my blathering about it is particularly intense – the big news around here is that I am playing this year’s Indietracks festival in a month’s time. Eeeeeeeeeee! My slot is yet to be confirmed but it is likely that I’ll be playing proper acoustic on the train. Eeeeeeeeee again! Me … Continue reading Eeeeeeeeeee, I’m on at Indietracks!
