Selling off some of my old gear..

It's true. The things that don't gig are all going, and this is the last of it. Yeah, ok, I'm a packrat and I've been dragging this stuff around for years. It all needs a new home now. Follow the link, and apologies for the photos- great photographer I am not. But you'll get the idea.

And don't be shy, give me a shout if you have questions about some of this stuff. Some of it you won't ever see in the UK again, so this might be your only chance to own some of this old stuff!

as tour of the 1959 Fender factory anyone?

Oh. My. Lord. 

Stringmaster around 4:45....

Ah, if this were normal, bands would be better-

 

Oh my lord, that's rock and roll right there-

Cafe Musa this saturday with the Malpaso's

 

Hey all-

Gonna be a great weekend! I'm gigging with the Malpaso Gang on Saturday night at Cafe Musa. The band starts around 8=9, and I'm going to start things off with a solo set. Yeah, I know I said that the gig I played at the Clubhouse was my last one ever. But this is different.

And stay tuned, the following weekend it's really back to work, with the Son Henry Band kicking off the new year at the Globe Inn (Friday the 28th) and the Moorings Bar (Saturday the 29th). 

 

More later. Pictures even....

A gig well played!

And there is the proof. Country music at a metal bar and they have Lone Star beer! Thanks Graham!

Now on Twitter too

Hey, you can also follow the drama on Twitter- look for me by name or 'son_henry'...

 

Moorings Bar tonight, live with the Malpaso Gang-

Hey! I really am back to work, tonight with the Malpaso Gang at the Moorings Bar in Aberdeen. It's the first gig of the year, with the Country/Americana that picked up a nomination in the Aberdeen 'Fudge' Music Awards. I'm playing the steel guitar tonight with a little lap steel thrown in for good measure. Show starts around 11 pm, and is a mix of iriginals and old covers. It's a great band, and some great original songs.

 

Next gig after this is the Globe Inn, with the Son Henry Band. Fingers crossed, see you soon.

 

lots to tell, but it's time to get back to work-

Yeah, it's my birthday tomorrow. And it's time to get back to work. Look for us to be on the road more in 2011, not playing locally as much. And, well, there is one great long story to tell!

Well, ok. Time to get back to work.

I'm back. The time off was great.

Here's where we're going. I've trimmed the size of my band back to a trio again. I've been writing songs that fit the trio format, but lean pretty heavily on the lap steel/pedal steel playing that I've been doing the last few weeks. No surprises there.
