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 […]

Devon and Cornwall Tour – August/September 2018 November 3, 2018
It was mid afternoon on August Bank Holiday. Sun visors down, the two cars set out for Chico Chica’s Devon and Cornwall Tour. Double bassist Alison Rayner is driving her leather-seated Volvo, instruments in the back, me in the shotgun seat. As the mobile world of leather rolls along the M4 I discover Alison, as … Continue reading Devon and Cornwall Tour – Au […]

My Edinburgh Fringe 2018 September 12, 2018
A feature of our age, so we’ve been told, is that categories are breaking down. That’s why ‘generic’ has become a term of derision. And yet The Edinburgh Fringe Guide is separated in to categories. My show is not theatrical enough for Theatre and not comedic enough for Comedy. Cabaret seems to be another word … Continue reading My Edinburgh Fringe 2018 […]

Chico Chica’s new album: Birds April 18, 2017
This blog is essentially a chronicle of all things Chico Chica. Admittedly, I lapse into silence but when something as important as an album launch comes along, well I have no choice but to post. Chico Chica’s show at The Pheasantry tomorrow (today?), Wednesday 19th April, serves as a launch for Birds – our latest … Continue reading Chico Chica’s new album […]

Transformers January 29, 2017
For last week’s Chico Chica gig at the Long Room Bar and Mitre Hotel, Tooting, I arrived early and ordered the Cumberland sausages. The plate arrived and I was delighted to see how the three of them were arranged in a Mercedes Benz logo pattern. The sculptural qualities alone would make the dish worthy of … Continue reading Transformers

Hot Orange at The Hideaway January 8, 2017
There are times when professional jazz musicians come close to despair at the difficulty of making a living. Every year the music colleges unleash (I was going to say churn out) another generation of hungry, talented, heal-snapping individuals. To make matters worse, musicians don’t retire and on many occasions their last breath is into a … Continue reading […]
