I had a great time, got hot and sweaty, but loved every minute. This is the last time that I know I will be able to play at the Somerville, hopefully I will get the chance to return. I would like to thank
the club - for letting me playthe attendees - for listening (mostly - very respectful)the other acts. I really, really rate a lot of what was played, that may not mean much coming from me, but I enjoyed it and thank you, everyoneMartin - for playing along on drums/guitar, it really adds to 50 things.....Helen - for organising and offering words of support, even if she didnt know they were, but she probably did!!
I shall miss my spot at the end of the bar, next to the raffel prizes, I never got picked as a prize!!
Hope to see you at Christmas.

Well a busy weel. Just got home at 19:15 having left work at 12:15, in vain attempt to miss the floods, boy was I wrong.

W/e 13/7/07/07 Genesis & Open Mic
Genesis, Old Trafford 7/7/07
Well bloody brill. My only negatives was that they were playing in daylight most of the set so the great lighting effects were spoilt by the lovely weather. And I really dislike small vertical screens.
Music was on top form and it was loud.
I am pleased I went to see them on the video broadcast as that enabled me to enjoy it even more.
Tuesday 10/7/07 Somerset House, Bristol
Up with Bob again, several work friends came and supported me. Only one other open micer on that night who is a brilliant piano player.
Played
Tombstone - Jon Chapman (my mates dont like this because of the way the lyrics spell F$%^ You. And therefore think I am telling my estimed audiance F&*$ You. I am not.
Brain Damage - Pink Floyd - Special Request for Dave
Nails - Jon ChapmanWebsite - Jon Chapman
Behnd Blue Eyes - the Who
Pinball Wizard - the Who
Wednesday 11/7/07 Mr Wolfs - Bristol
Played
Website - Jon Chapman
Pinball Wizard - the Who. The largest applause of the night
Thursday 12/7/07 Somervill Club - Bristol
Played
Drowned - the Who. A slightly slower, more layed back feel is what I was trying to achieve. We will see.
It was a secial night as a long time attendee was leaving. So it was one song until he arrived, then a second. I did not get the second as they ran out of time. I trully was not at all bothered. My mates on the other hand had threatend to join me in the chorus to Website, so it was a blessing! Praise be Richard.

Tuesday 29/5/07 - Old Duke, Bristol
1st up, which is becoming a regular

Better man - Jn Chapman. New song it needs some work but the lyrics are quite good. I started writing it about current fashions but it quickly became about me and my fustrations as a 13 - 17 year old.
If I was a Carpenter - Tim Hardin. Thanks to the guy who came up and said it was a good version
Lent guitar to many players during the eveining. It is interesting that the guitar sounds good, I hope it does when I play it.
TTFN Badger readers, off to watch England probably suffer a defeat or a draw against the mighty Brazil!!!
