Blog: Always Take Care Of Your Regulars

In all the EXCITEMENT of Edinburgh and Singles and that sort of thing it is, I feel, easy to forget some of the Aspects Of ROCK that simply trundle along quite happily on a daily basis, so HEY! Let's have a look at a couple of them shall we?

First up, in case you've not been looking, the My Exciting Life In ROCK blog over on the PopArt Digest continues to be updated every Tuesday and Thursday. I'm actually about two weeks AHEAD of myself on this one at the moment, so service should be provided on a fairly regular basis - COMING SOON: BOMBS! Weddings! VIOLENCE! Discussion of the state of the national rail network! WHOO!

Meanwhile, I'm continuing KEEPING ON with February Album Writing Month. I've now got EIGHT songs up there and available for your listening pleasure - I've slowed down a bit this week, but I'm hoping to get a move on over the weekend and get into double figures. I'm still REALLY enjoying it I must say!

And finally, I've just updated the Totally Acoustic website with lots of PROPER information. I realised that just sticking a flyer up for the gig before last was perhaps NOT the best utilisation of such a FUNKY domain name (www.totallyacoustic.com! YEAH!), so have now stuck up some actual INFORMATION, especially to do with it just being a function room, not a gig venue! I've just broken one of my MAIN MANIFESTO PLEDGES for this, in that I'm now booked TWO gigs in advance, rather than just one. I've not wanted to book too far ahead with it, for fear of it getting to NORMAL. I've seen too many gig promoters (INDEED, have BEEN one) who've started off putting on just bands they really like then ended up HAVING to book bands they couldn't care less for just to fill up spaces, so am trying very hard to keep Totally Acoustic SPECIAL. However, the chance of booking a) The Bobby McGees in March and b) Frankie Machine in April, was NOT to be passed up.

If I start getting Ticketmaster to organise the whip round tho, THAT is when I'll have SOLD OUT!
