After a break of 4 years its time to get blogging again, now settling down to life in the over 50's bracket I find myself ticking along doing the normal things, work, home, holidays etc. Although I seem to be at the local Doctors more frequent these days my passion is still strong with music. This is what drives me through the ups and downs of life.
Today I am a brass musician with a local brass band Littleport Brass, guitarist and singer for busy covers band The 142s and most recently a new challenge The New Fools (originals band from Cambridge).
THE NEW FOOLS
(originals band)
In March 2018 I received a call from singer/songwriter Tony J from Cambridge, he asked if I would be interested in playing guitar on his songs that needed recording. I thought this is a new challenge for me and took up the challenge. Together with 2 other guys The New Fools was formed. To date we have 3 recorded tracks and 4 in progress, an album to be completed by March 2019.
In October The New Fools had its first gig at The Wednesday Sessions held at The Brook Pub in Cambridge. A great night with an appreciative crowd getting into the bands music. The band has also played on 2 radio shows (Cambridge 105fm) Dave Hammonds (Smelly Flower Pot Show & Stagger fm (Indie Show). Our recording sessions are moving forward nicely and the most recent track "George & Adele" is available on youtube
