Singing live and it’s frightening

This weekend I noticed a tweet from a popular internet radio station that champions unsigned Indie music. They are called 'InYourEars Radio'

It mentioned it had been asking it's favourite bands to contribute to a whole day of 'live acoustic sets'.

Let me get this straight: I don't expect an invite from these guys.

They like loud, raucous, original and energetic bands. Not just the one 50 year old guy doing everything by himself in a studio. A left wing Mike Oldfield with shit hair, so to speak. I cannot expect excitement from people who like pogo-ing at an IDLES gig.

So, I took a gulp and replied to their tweet, to ask 'Does a bloke singing at a piano count?' They, quite charitably, said yes. I had to be careful about how I did it. I thought why not try for an Iggy Pop doing 'Perfect Day' vibe? - Then and only then, I might get a slot. Nothing fancy. Anyway this is one of the songs of mine that I sat down and recorded live. Warts and warbles included. Lockdown hair was looking mighty fiiine too if I may add. I'm thinking Bamber Gascgoine 1998, with a small amount of muddy Boris too

Muddy Boris: Sounds like a fish in Bermuda or something on Urban Dictionary.

Righto, my tiny army of RSS feeders. The train of thought ends now. I hope you enjoyed the video above. Here is one below too, which I also recommend that you read the YouTube video description about. It's a cool story in which I feature as a supporting role.
