Summer 2007

Alright proper blogging starts now. Time is running out. I am currently in the middle of the school summer holidays. Exam results for my eldest, Molly are due soon. The boy Neo is five and a half. My recurring leg injury is a cause for concern latest twinge happened as I ran down a steep railway bank after I videod some blackberries. Stupid idea. Got complacent about the sun. We were on the beach at Camber Sands on Sunday and whilst we ensured the kids were covered head to toe with sun block. I went to swim without sunblock and two hours later Mr & Mrs Lobster left the beach. I keep having loads of ideas for the 30th Anniversary of my 1st public performance at the Birmingham all day Punk Festivalk at Barbarella's August 29th 1977. Except I have probably left it a little late to book a gig. My next target was to be in September when my 2nd ever gig was at the Music Machine on 22nd September 1977. However my bass man, Matt Broughton and drummer Jeff Walker have many other commitments in September. The months of October and November at many venues have all the best nights booked and then its Christmas, bah! Humbug. Next up is the 30th Anniversaries of SPIZZOIL - 1st John Peel session, 1st record release but with original guitarist Pete Petrol now living in New Zealand, do I recruit a replacement axeman? I think I may have found one - more on that story later. I intend to target all the music festivals for 2008 as it is increasingly unlikely I can get to visit faraway towns any other way so I have created a web page as a billboard for festival organisers and booking agents for all major rock, indie & punk music festivals to stumble upon or be redirected to:

Have to leave now - lets hope I can do this more regularly
