Well we went to The Shed , actually by the time we got there it was “Shed of The Year 2011”. Thanks again to Jon Earl, it was truly a memorable experience! The results should be available in the next couple of weeks at www.songsfromtheshed.com.
Then followed a trip to John Taylors studio in the North East. It’s always a total pleasure working with John on my music, he just seems to get what it is I’m wanting to achieve and does it with the minimum amount of fuss and maximum amount of fun. The upshot is I have a new 6 track mini CD ready to go, which I’m hoping will be available to download very soon. If you know of any radio Presenters who might like to download a pre release copy of one of the tracks, to play on their programme, you could point them to www.airplaydirect.com/alanwest and they can get it, and a whole bunch of other stuff, all for nothing!!!
I think I was home for about 36 hours, a couple of gigs and I headed North again, this time with Blacky to do some gigs in Scotland. I think I can speak for both of us when I say we had a blast, and all without a hitch. One (shareable) highlight would have to be “The Coaltown Daisies” whom you can check out here www.reverbnation.com/thecoaltowndaisies . We shared the bill with them at a house concert in Fife (I think!!), truly memorable songs, singing and playing, a real breath of fresh air in my humble opinion.
Over the last couple of months, a friend of mine has been helping out with all that online/networking/website/blah blah blah stuff that I never really understood. I’m still not sure that I fully understand it all, but I’m coming round to the idea of Facebook and I have a page there at http://is.gd/alanwest , am quite liking Twitter, and you can find me there @AlanWest65 and now have a presence on Reverb Nation at www.reverbnation.com/alanwest.
So back to it now with Blacky here in Devon, pretty much ‘til summers end. I have been quite astonished this summer as to how many of you guys have made trips down here to see us, it really is much appreciated.
Kindest Regards,
Alan
