The (NOT) Very Last Shredded Beats. Most Probably.

On the 22/06/12 I will be heading to Welwyn Garden City's ace Shredded Beats night to play some records.

I've played there several times and always been impressed by the atmosphere generated by Nicholas Anson and his posse of talented  DJ's.

Sadly rumour has it that this will be the last Shredded Beats ever. So catch it while you can!

GOOD NEWS SEEMS NEW OWNERS OF THE DOCTORS TONIC HAVE TAKEN THE SB CREW TO THEIR HEART AND THE SHREDDED BEAT GOES ON....

Jam Up Twist 14/06/2012



One album dominated 1998 for me: The Document by DJ Andy Smith. Still got it, still love it.
So I am rather excited to be guesting Jam up Twist this Thursday (14/06/2012)with Andy Smith at:
Joe's Bar, 78 -79 Chalk Farm Road, Camden, London NW1 8AR.
Kicks off at 10, it's free before 11 and just £3.00 after (or £2.00 with a flyer)
I've played Joes Bar before with El Nino and it's a nice venue with a friendly up for it crowd.
Seriously, this is gonna be great!

Saturday 4th June 2011


The Victoria 110 grove road Mile End E35TH
June 4th from 8 til late


Once more we open our doors for free for some more very special live entertainment with Testify providing some rockabilly and RnB

Florence Joelle's Kiss of Fire sound like...
Blues merged with gypsy jazz exotica and sprinkled
with a hint of rockabilly....

Members
Florence Joelle: Vocals, rhythm guitar, harmonica
Chris Campion: Bass
Arthur Lager: Drums
Huck Whitney: Lead guitar

Whilst their inspiration draws from the past, they have carved
out a sound
that lives in the present, bringing their own slant
to the likesof Chick Webb’s ‘40s reefer blues
‘When I Get Low I Get High’,and the ‘50s R&B staple
‘Unchain My Heart'.
Of Joelle’s own compositions, ‘Stardust Merchant’ echoes early
jazz standards and the melodrama of the post-war French songbook,
whilst her ‘Watermelon Gin’ is a wistful, calypso-tinged
serenade to love lost.

onstage around 10pm
