Do not adjust your set...

Normal service shall resume shortly.....

Another week has flown by, cant believe its mid-june. What have I been up to. A succession of gigs and concerts, on top of a hectic week of teaching etc. I haven't been on the computer since I wrote the last update last weekend. I am too busy, I have been accepting all manner of work since the start of the year, saying yes to everything but its all gotten a little bot too much. I dont even have time to brew beer at the moment! So I am in the process of streamlining my work a bit and getting a bit more particular about what gigs I do etc. So stay tuned fans, normal service shall return.....

To keep you amused and make it worth your while for logging on this week, here is a sketch I penned down between lessons last friday. I was trying to leave it as a answering machine message on certain lord of the rings fans phones in Ireland, you know who you are. Ja'know the way you dial 087, then 5, then the rest of your number and it goes straight on as a message? Well anyway, thats what I spent half an hour on friday doing and it seems not to work for international calls so here you go. (to be performed in your finest DJ radio vernacular)

....hello there and welcome back to the frodo baggins show here on middle earth FM. We just heard the latest realease from 'boppin elrond and the high elves of rivendale' off their newly released green album, and just before that we had 'the gandalf jazz quintet' and their old time classic, when i´m 64, hundred. coming up we will have with us live in the studio 'Bilbo and the dwarven wanderers', playing hits from their latest album and plugging their new tour of the misty mountains including what is sure to be a sell out gig at the mines of moria, in what the fans are calling Balrog-stock, but right now we have the mount doom tuba trio with special guests playing a progressive bebop harmonica/bagpipe fusion arrangement of that old Gershwin classic 'Ive Got The-one-ring-to-rule-them'. The time is 820, stay tuned for news and sports coming up next............
