Tuesday 6/11/07 - Greyhound, Beeston, Nottingham
A very empty pub tonight, so an extra song
In my Heart - Jon Chapman
Ballard of Bob & Rose - Jon Chapman
Drowned - the Who
Brain Damage/Eclipse - Pink Floyd
Behind Blue Eyes/Won't get fooled again- the Who. Started to add the opening few bars to this brilliant song. I will extend over time.
I felt I let my self down given that I had not played much since last time, not even at home. Will need to practice more.
Songs I was going to play were Better Man and Love is/Nails. The Greyhound is not a Love is/Nails place also my lack of practice meant I did not feel up for it.

Tuesday 23/10/07 - Greyhound, Beeston
Second visit to this pub in Beeston. It was bit empty but I like it. The sound is good with a good live foldback, which I like. May become my Tuesday venue of choice.
This was the first time I have played all my own songs, although I should have played Better Man, not Tombstone, simply because I could do with another live outing for this song.
I also had not played for over two weeks, so I was feeling out of practice.
Played
Ballad of Bob and Rose - Jon Chapman
In My Heart - Jon Chapman (Premier)
Tombstone - Jon Chapman
50 things to do before I die - Jon Chapman
In My Heart is my latest song. It is there musically but I may make some changes lyrically. Although when played live it sounded good and the lyrics seemed ok to sing.
In my Heart isa love song! Not sure I know too much about Lurve, or being romantic and soppy, but with lines relating to Washing Lines on a summers day, what else could it be about. As far as I am concerned it a song about contentment and commitment. It has mixed tempos.
The Ballad of Bob and Rose is about the night at the Rose of Denmark when I had about 14 people down from work to see me play, and have a few drinks as well, the local council banned the pub from playing live music.
The Rose in the title is the pub, Bob is Bob Garrett. An excellent but strange individual who plays a mean banjo and guitar. He plays his own interesting songs in his own distinctive style.
The song is set around a mythical love affair.
I think it musically and lyrically it plays and sings well. It will be on the new album!!
Talking of which. I am in the process of recording my stuff. Currently setting up at home the technology needed to do this, I currently do not even own a mic, but do have a stand!!!
Once I get the basics down, I will be able to add some additional lines.
Plan on a couple of the tracks being delivered in two,versions, acoustic and electric as I think they work both ways.
Well Badger is going back to work
Till next time .........

w/e 12/10/07 Open Mic and Rush
Monday 8/10/07 Golden Fleece, Nottingham
1st time I have played here. Was a nice set up. The stage is a head above the audience so you really look down on them, or another way is that the look up at you. Not sure if its in wonder or awe!!!
Played 50 things to do before I die - Jon Chapman
Don't Hurt Your self - Marillion
If I was a Carpenter - Tim Hardin
I did bottle out and not play two of mine.
Rush, Friday 12/10/07 NEC
I have been looking forward to this since the last time I saw them, I was not disappointed. A couple of times I thought the sound went a little muffled but hey, that's a live gig. They played stuff I have not seen since the original album came out and that was brilliant.
Oh well I enjoyed it and I got out of the car park with no trouble, so a result all round.
NEC Rant time.
Why oh why is the beer 50p more expensive inside the arena that in the forum outside?Badger readers

Played
Don't Hurt Yourself - Marillion
