Studio Time

5:25 PM - Thu 20 October 2011

Posted in Personal
I'm blogging here again for a while seeing Efx3 is still down.

I've had a good few sessions in the studio now and the last 2 sessions we've been working on what I thought would be a simple song - but they're the hardest to get to sound right - the ones with least sound effects and instruments - to just get the sound of voice and guitar right has been challenging! The simplest song with the fewest chords has to be played better than those with more sophisticated content.

Anyway I'm tired and have had a terrible mouth ulcer all week where I bit my cheek which has made me feel irritable and under the weather but I'm looking forward to the weekend - I think we're taking the van to Wales for a few nights which will be lovely.

Peter's back tonight from working away for a few days and I'm looking forward to seeing him later - I get more done when he's away but miss him the whole time!

I don't know if many people still read this site but it's good to know it's still up and running.

See you soon.



Efx3 Not working

7:18 PM - Sun 16 October 2011

Well at the moment Efx3 isn't working and my own website is down so I thought I'd do a quick post here!!

I'm so pleased to be back in Bristol and things are going really well.

I'm two days a week in the studio and making good progress with my second album, two sessions of tennis a week to get back to fitness and lose a bit of work, my flats are let out to good tenants, P's settling in well, I'm doing at least one open mic session a week and rehearsing weekly with Paddy my wonderful keyboard player.

I loved the countryside where we lived for over two years but from now on I'll just visit the green - I'm truly a city girl!!

Drum Camp

1:13 PM - Wed 13 July 2011

Posted in Music
I'm just back from a weekend camping at an event we have here called Drum Camp which takes place in Suffolk.

Not only did I attend wonderful workshops with the great Modou Diouf, sabar player and teacher but I also got to sit in on a workshop with Justin Adams (a fantastic blues guitarist) who collaborates with an amazing Gambian riti player (African violin) called Juldeh Camara. They are worldclass musicians and teachers and the evening entertainment cannot be easily described as it so good!!

Juldeh Myspace

To top it all off, I met a really good guitarist/drummer who really liked my music and is interested in playing on my new album when I start recording.

All in all a fabulous weekend.

I'm now staying on a barge on the Thames as we're supporting another week of workshops at SOAS with Modou in London playing the chol drums for a sabar class (the chols are the bass drums equivalent to the duns for djembe and they're my speciality).

Individual Tracks

I've just loaded the new application called Vibedeck which is for musicians to be able to sell individual tracks online and keep all the proceeds of the sale through Paypal - it was so easy to use as well so I'm very pleased. Here's the link and an example underneath of an individual track!

Blessings written by our four children as part of the ceremony:

East, Powers of Air (ALEX)

With the element of air, music flows freely in everything around us and has brought together you two wonderful people, filling you with youthfulness, like leaves dancing on trees.

As the sun rises in the east each day we have a new beginning of life, just as you are entering a new life on this spring day.

I hope the element of Air will guide you in your relationship, providing you with honesty, communication, truthfulness and most of all love.

May you continue to grow and learn from each other, enabling you to share with us all, many happy stories for the year to come.

South, Powers of Fire (Leah)

May your love be like fire, fuelled by passion and burning with desire.

May you always remember a fire needs to be created and maintained, but its gifts to you are numerous; flickering and dancing flames radiate heat to warm your hearts and light to guide your way.

West, Powers of Water (Daniel)

I bless you in the Spirit of Water, may your love POUR, may your thirsts be quenched, with freshness, may your hearts be flooded with joy, may your thoughts and intentions be clear, may you act as a mirror to each other, may you float in an ocean of pure bliss.

North, Powers of Earth (Andrea)

Your marriage should have within it a secret and protected place, open to you alone. Imagine it to be a walled garden. Entered by a door to which only you have the key. Within this garden, you will cease to be Mother, Father, Organiser, Boat-mender or any other roles which you fullfil in daily life.
Here you are yourselves. Two people who love each other. Here you can concentrate on looking after yourselves and each other. So hold each others hands and return when you can to your garden. The quiet time you spend together is never wasted but invested. Invested in your future and the nurture of your love.

May your love be often, still.
