Yesterday I broadcasted the GP Worldwide night on my show The Hop; It was a bit of a cut & paste thing to get everything in 60 minutes but I think it sounds good the way it is.  The first 10 minutes is a piece of my opening set, right after that Gilles takes over [...]

February 18, 2009

So? As we remember the great lengths that John Martyn went expand the musical spectrum…. …..it becomes time to celebrate Martyn of a different kind.

I just don't know what to do with myself…

February 16, 2009

…because I am so excited about tonights session at Worldwide Underground that I am going slightly insane. I even tried building my own time machine so I could make time go just a little bit faster.
