Blimey, where should I start!! Well, gig wise, still lots on, the summer has been amazing. We have had some blinding gigs and I can’t believe how many of you holiday in Devon! Wednesdays at Chideock have stopped now and our Mondays at The Kings Arms, Seaton have moved to Wednesdays for the winter, apart from that it’s business as usual!!
An extra night off a week is very welcome actually, it will allow me a little extra time to focus on a project that I have set up with my friend Kirstin Reynolds. It is called NEO Music and it is the most exciting project I think I have ever been involved in. The first phase involves the setting up of a small project studio here in Devon, that’s nearly complete. Then the real fun starts, because the next phase is to make lots of music there with a bunch of like minded people and the final phase is to share that music with the rest of the world!! Lot’s still to do, but very optimistic right now.
A few years ago I spent six months or so working with the incredibly talented Johnny Butten. We lost touch for a while then a few months ago he called me from The US where he is now living and said he was coming across with his bluegrass band Telegraph Road and did I fancy putting him on………. They, along with Me, Blacky and the odd guest, will be at The Dolphin in Beer, on Sunday 18th September at 8pm. It really is first class bluegrass and well worth a look. Tickets are £10 and will almost certainly be available on the night but if you’d like to reserve any, just let me know.
Better get on, playing The Ax tonite at 6.30 and it’s now time to get the kids from school. I hope this finds you well,
Kindest Regards,
Alan West
