Touring Plans – 2019 February 15, 2019
As a child, I remember a board game called Touring Scotland. It’s a racing, dice game. Each player has a metal car and starts off at Berwick-on-Tweed. He is dealt cards with the names of the towns he has to visit before going back home. A bad hand would include a town which needed a … Continue reading Touring Plans – 2019

Dead Souls, Nikolai Gogol January 28, 2019
I’ve been aware of Dead Souls for many years. It is deemed a classic of Russian literature and Nikolai Gogol is a writer who is talked about with such esteem I had to find out why this is so. Up until the end of December 2018, I hadn’t read a line of his, and it … Continue reading Dead Souls, Nikolai Gogol

Sibelius – 7th Symphony January 13, 2019
Chico Chica have a tour coming up later in the year as well as an album launch. As a result, marketing will form a major part of my management duties. I know the basic principles. The most important is to describe a product’s benefits rather than its features. But when it comes to listening to … Continue reading Sibelius – 7th Symphony

A Rage to Live, John O’Hara January 6, 2019
New Year’s Eve was spent performing with singer Noemi Nuti at the excellent and new Kahani, a restaurant in Chelsea. Noemi has had a long association with Chico Chica but this was the first time I’d worked with her as a duo. I was a bit anxious at first because it was a long gig … Continue reading A Rage to Live, John O’Hara

Choirs December 16, 2018
If I were to live abroad for some of the year, the months I’d chose would be February and March. It’s the time when I’m bored of the long winter so would rather be somewhere milder. But I’d never go away in December. I love the party season and the atmosphere especially in central London … Continue reading Choirs

The Next Album – Making a Start December 11, 2018
On the off-chance you might interested in this sort of thing, I’m going to describe where my musical attentions are currently being directed. Chico Chica are long overdue an album. Birds came out at the beginning of last year. We were meant to follow up directly afterwards but money constraints prevented us from doing so. … Continue reading The Next Album – […]

Gates of Fear, Barnaby Conrad December 2, 2018
Every now and then, I choose to read an out of print book about an esoteric subject. Of course it has to be recommended – life’s too short for random choices. I’ve just read Gates of Fear by Barnaby Conrad. The author worked for the American consulate in Spain during the 1950’s. During his posting … Continue reading Gates of Fear, Barnaby Conrad

Rolo Tomassi and Blood Command at The Scala, King’s Cross November 25, 2018
It’s good for musicians to listen outside their genre. With this maxim in mind, I went to see Rolo Tomassi at The Scala, King’s Cross, London. The Scala is a building I’ve passed so many times but until recently had never entered. It used to be a cinema and at one point was a primatarium. … Continue reading Rolo Tomassi and Blood Command at The Scala, King’s […]

Clockers, Richard Price November 18, 2018
If you happen to be looking for a drug to take up, crack cocaine has a lot to offer. It’s attractions aren’t just the intense thirty minute high but also the paraphernalia that goes with it. This type of pipe smoking lends the pastime a hobby aspect. It also creates career opportunities among vulnerable groups. However, … Continue reading Clockers, Richard P […]
