The latest..
Current mood: cultured
Category: Music

First things first, I never use my blog to promote friends or other musicians for the sake of it, unless it's something I really believe in and could stand behind. I'm so thrilled that this week has seen the release of an album produced and co written by none other than my main man Justin Shave. Justin is important in my camp because as well as being my live musical director he co produced 'Delicate' and co wrote some of the best tracks on there. Well this week sees the release of the album he worked his magic on : 'Atigoneland' by Antigone. She has quite honestly one of the most technically breathtaking voices live I've ever heard - and in many ways puts other 'divas' to bed without any supper! If it's your thing, do have a listen to the brilliant 'Antigoneland' which you can find HERE.

honestly we've done no advertising or promo yet, so I don't expect there to be any tickets come next month. Читать дальше »

NEW YEARS EVE SHOW LONDON - TICKETS ON SALE APRIL 21
Category: Music

We're thrilled to announce that Darren Hayes is to perform a special New Years
Eve show in London on Dec 31 2009 in an intimate club setting. It will be his first public live concert in almost 2 years.

He'll perform a fully live show with his band and then continue on to party playing his selection of his favorite club records until 3 am.

Those who attended the 2007 New Years show were treated to an intimate and unique show with a sense of being at a party rather than gig. This year's show
will continue the tradition with a one off set list full of hits and surprises. Читать дальше »

WHAT IS A SONG WORTH TO YOU?
Current mood:pondering
Category: Music

WHAT IS A SONG WORTH TO YOU?
The changing nature of the music industry is something that has become a phrase that gets bandied about in industry articles or by managers to explain why a u2 album can debut at number one but sell considerably less copies than the last one.
But does anyone outside the music industry really know what it means?
I haven't seen a hell of a lot of discussion about the idea of the worth of music to the average person. Words like 'free' or 'illegal' get thrown around.
But does anyone talk about 'worth'?

Popjustice pointed out that in the UK recently, the number one single by Kelly Clarkson was actually on sale at Amazon cheaper than the price of a first class stamp. Читать дальше »

Probably T.M.I
Current mood:the king of pop!ular
Category: Music

I had my annual check up at the ear nose and throat surgeon to check my vocal chords today. I know that sounds nuts, but considering I've built a career around an essential piece of physical equipment that is the result of D.N.A lottery is not lost on me. It's amazing how those two tiny pieces of skin no bigger than a thumb nail have given me so many opportunities. So understandably you always want to know they're in good shape!



I'm happy to say they are fine and dandy.

It's gross though - I don't know if anyone here is a singer or has ever seen or had to go through the procedure - but it involves placing a fiber optic camera down your airways. This is done via a long thin tube like instrument that is placed UP YOUR NOSE and then travels through the nasal passages, down the throat and peeks into the voice box. Читать дальше »
