Tomorrow night I'll be performing a set as The Silent Committee at the Missing Peace: Piece 6 charity night at the Labour Club in Northampton. It's a charity evening, this month raising money for the Childrens Ward at Northampton General Hospital.

Hope to see a few of you there.

Other goings on...

The new TSC song will be uploaded to the facebook page tomorrow.

A new collaboartive track has been finished, mixed and mastered and we are planning an ep that I'm not allowed to talk about just yet. Hopefully the first track will be online very soon...I suspect a new myspace page.

Also I'm working on a new production job, lending performances on several instruments to a new album. Quite excited for this.

Peacefully busy, and just as uni starts up again too!

Been working out some live guitar loops for a new song I'm recording.

Have also made a good start on recording the acapella song I tried out on Saturday too.

Hopefully it won't be too long before I can share these songs.

I performed a new acapella song called 'Autumn Walk'

Rai Clews joined me on Cajon for a version of 'Twilight'.

Been doing a bit of recording tonight as planned, made a pretty good start on demoing the organ song (currently called 'Time Alone'). Got the harmonium and vocal down on it, but I think I can get the organ to sound better...just need a better mic, and maybe position it slightly differently (I'm still learning this stuff!). But for a demo for myself to work with it'll do, the lyrics aren't even definite yet...

I'm writing something new today and aim to record some harmonium and vocals this evening...

but I have taken a little break to attend to this interesting instrument...a guitar-zither dated 1894.
Giving repairing it another go. May end up selling it on soon though: if anyone knows anything about these instruments let us know, I'd be interested in finding out more as the interent's been a pretty useless resource so far.

Misplaced loyalties.
You never know who you can rely on or trust these days.
I have been betrayed, again.
