Steve Cradock German Tour Sept 2011

 6 gigs in 6 nights in 6 city's across Germany with The Steve Cradock Band. A real pleasure to be playing with such a great bunch of people, Steve and Sal, Andy Crofts from The Moons and Freddie Ansell from the Computers. Everyone listening and enjoying playing the songs for a very receptive audience.
 
See the clip below of 'Beware of Falling Rocks' recorded 5th night in at the Werkstatt, Koln.

Halden Pop Festival

Yet another crazy/amazing trip to Germany with Steve Cradock, this time to play at the Halden Pop Festival. Did a radio show for one of the big stations out there on the Friday followed by a performance at Halden. Really great reception from the crowd, those Germans know their music.

iTunes festival at The Roundhouse with The Steve Cradock Band

So last week was a busy one, played the iTunes festival supporting Beady Eye on the Tuesday then a festival in Bremen, Germany the next day with all the travelling that goes with it.

Amazing experience at the Roundhouse, was a little bit overwhelming considering it was streamed live to a potential audience of 235 million!

The ECC is establishing itself as the new hangout for the Graucho crowd, is run by a group of discerning French dudes and attracts a very cool clientèle, the cocktails will blow your mind.
Myself, Greg (rhodes piano + vox), Richard (bass) and Rob (sax) play every tuesday from around 10, get there before 11 and say your with the band and you should be fine to get in.

Promo for Steve Cradock's new album "Peace City West"

Deep Litter Studios

Just back from recording Steve Cradocks new album, "Peace City West". Had an amazing time in deepest Devon recording at Deep Litter Studios and staying in a haunted Cottage looking out over the Sea.
Steve has created an incredible collection of songs interspersed with abstract instrumental bridges, making the album sound heavily psychedelic. Stand out tracks for me are "Only look up when your down" and "Scooter sits idle" as well as "I-Man" which features James Buckley from the inbetweeners.
The tour kicks off in a month or so, I'll be back in the south west to rehearse up the set which I'm very much looking forward to.
