Back to business.


Greetings earthlings!

I have 2 weeks off from college, and it’s a slow time for gigs at the moment, I had one last night for valentines day, and I have one on the 29th, and that’s it for February!
So I thought I would write a new blog, for no other reason that I can.

Firstly, I have a new video up on Youtube! This is from my gig in Twist bar in Newcastle last tuesday! Not the greatest quality, but the sound isn't too bad!



Yeah, it’s a Jay Z cover, your rules mean nothing to me. So yeah, go forth and watch it, and comment and/or like it if you’re on youtube! Also, if you could share it with your friends that would be awesome! Means a lot, cheers!

Now also, like I said I have a gig on the 29th of February, it’s in the Head of Steam in Newcastle, £3 in and there’s 5 or so acts on, well worth it. I hope to see as many of you there as possible! I might even let you buy me a pint, because I’m nice like that.

Right, that’s that out of the way. The EP is coming along nicely, finally sorted out a couple of the problems I’ve been having, going to record one more song, not sure which yet mind. There’s a few of my tracks I’ve been thinking of putting on, it’s just a matter of choosing which one, and I will hopefully have the CD finished by the time I go back to college. I might even have a few for sale at the Head of Steam gig, you never know!

Speaking of that, I’m not sure where to go to get the CD’s pressed and what not, if anyone knows anywhere that does a decent job at the lowest possible price (I am a student after all) please let me know! All I want is a cardboard sleeve like you get on the free shit CD’s you get in the Sun every now and then. I want it printed back and front and on the disc itself, so if you know of a good place please let me know!
Also, I’m thinking of doing a kind of mini tour when the EP is up for sale, hopefully in the summer. Not sure where I would go, how I would get there, and what I would do when I get there, but hey, it’s a start! Hopefully I’ll be doing a few festivals, I’m already booked for a few, but if there are any I’ve not contacted, if you could maybe put my name forward to the organisers that would be brilliant! I'll post up some more details on which festivals I'm playing in my next blog.

That’s pretty much it for my life at the moment, starting to feel a bit better about everything from my last couple of blogs since letting it out, for all those interested. I really can’t thank you all enough for all the support you have given me with that!
Gan canny folks!

Stephen.

Thank you

Okay, it's not been long since my last post, but I really want to post another short one.

I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all of the messages I have been sent. My Facebook, email, and phone inboxes have been buzzing. It's really nice of you to take time out to do something like that.

So even if I don't know you, thank you for offering your support, it's a difficult time, but I'm sure with people like you in my life I can get through it. I know it won't be easy, but I'm determined to do it.

Also, I know there was one bloke on the last blog kicking off, but don't all attack him. I know he's being a prat but he's entitled to his opinion, and who am I to sit here and write this stuff, and then ignore what people have to say about it, or disregard it? But I do appreciate all of your support on this matter.

I just wanted to post this to let you know that I love each and every one of you, from the bottom of my heart. I'm so lucky to have people like you around me.

Thank you.

Gan canny folks!

Stephen

PS. I'll start posting cheery/less miserable stuff again next time, don't worry.
