Some Velvet Morning.m4a

Thirty Six

I'm playing alongside The Boy I Used To Be & Matt Palmer at The Edge Of The Wedge, Albert Road, Southsea - December 15th.

Thirty Five - NEW SONG

I was using the website to give away the songs I didn't think were too great. This song is called 'Trying To Find Love Is A Waste Of Time' and I do think it's rather good. But oh well, here it is - Trying To Find Love Is A Waste Of Time.mp3

Thirty Four

For those who didn't get chance to listen to my radio play last night, you can download my parts here - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yj2wkzwjzan

Thirty Three

First ever headline slot went great last night. Met two guys from Express FM who are giving me a live slot on The Guestlist show on the 18th November. Ecoute.

Thirty Two

I'm headlining Thursday, 5th November @ The Honest Politician, post meridiem. Support from The Boy I Used To Be.

HELP

HOW DO I SELL AN INDEPENDENT DOCUMENTARY FILM TO CHANNEL 4?

Thirty - NEW SONG

I recorded this new psych-pop tune in about half an hour just with the built-in microphone on my laptop, each sound done in a single take. The quality isn't great but I'm still happy with it.
www.myspace.com/beaubrummelmusic - 'Out Of Sight'!

Twenty Nine

My performace on Balcony TV is up on the internet now and I don't think I look quite as awkward and sick as I felt. Last night I discovered and signed up to a live video blogging site. Find me at www.blogtv.com/People/BeauBrummelMusic - I'll be on here playing guitar, drinking tea, rambling and falling asleep until I schedule one day in the week to have a regular slot in which I will invite fellow musicians to perform with me on there.

Twenty Eight

I found a home recording of 'Bad To Me', the song Lennon gave to Billy Kramer. I made a quick recording of it with the built-in mic on the laptop, rough, wrong notes.

Twenty Seven - NEW SONG

'Sun Still Shines On You'. Simple. Sweet. I quite like it. It's up on my myspace and I've uploaded a piano version on my youtube.

Twenty Six - NEW SONG

I played Balcony TV on Tuesday. I hadn't really picked up a guitar in a month or so and I think that was quite apparent. Numb left arm, tremors, eurgh.
New song though! It's up on Myspace and for free download - http://www.mediafire.com/?wmh2c0mwd4r

I have a couple of new videos on YouTube. Check out '1349' on there.

Wrote a song in a few minutes the other night and just finished recording it. Really happy with it. Have a listen and let me know what you think.

Eighteen

Played an afternoon show at The Edge of The Wedge earlier.
I can only really think of one thing to say..
Why didn't I practice?

Seventeen

I saw Andrew Morgan at The Luminaire, Kilburn the other night. Inspiringly wonderful performance. He said I had a chance with Kate Moss (in a roundabout sort of way).
Still working on songs and failing miserable at the violin.
Au Revoir.

Sixteen - NEW SONG

Saw Andy McKee last night. One very talented man.
Finished recording my pop song today. Thinking about selling it to James Blunt..

Fifteen

Done up the website a little bit - http://www.beaubrummelmusic.webs.com/
Media page slightly messy but I'll ammend that at a later date.
Oh, ten weeks tomorrow since I vowed to abstain from the devil's brew.
Consequently all social activities have seemingly ground to a halt. I'm no fucking fun to be around.

Fourteen

Found an old super 8 under me bed so I sent it off for processing and telecining today. Must be about three years old now so I don't know what's on it. Hopefully part of it will be useable in the video Rob and I will be shooting soon.

The book is well on the way and near completion. Here's another excerpt from the book you'll be able to purchase for £8 along with a Beau Brummel Music EP.

Thirteen

Massive creative explosion.
Wrote, recorded a new song (up on the MySpace - www.myspace.com/beaubrummelmusic),
Gathering material and scanning scrapbooks for my forthcoming book,
Archiving lots of footage of concerts (solo and previous bands I've been in),
Arranging direction of new Super 8 music video with photographer Rob Luckins (www.welcometothedarkslide.co.uk).
Updates on all of the above on the way..

Twelve

Been writing some prog-psych-folk kind of music recently with some local friends. We've recorded some jams in Chad's bedroom and garden, I'll upload them soon.

Eleven - NEW GIG ANNOUNCED

• I saw Jeniferever last night
• I'm never abusing solvents again
• I'm playing The Edge, Albert Road, Portsmouth - 24th May

Ten

My book is coming along nicely, the cover is done, 16 pages so far, probably go up to about 25. It will be available for purchase along with my CD album I'm currently compiling soon. Here's a drawing from it..

Nine

The show went very well last night. A couple of numbers were badly affected by my guitar's steadily worsening intonation, but it was alright. Here's a video of some clips of a few of the songs I performed -

Eight

Wheeze, wheeze, cough, cough, hot, cold, hope I'm well enough for this Thursday's show.

Seven - NEW GIG ANNOUNCED

Had three hours sleep last night. Cough, sneeze, bleurgh. Went into Scummm-town today, bought a couple of Tony Hancock and Peter Cook & Dudley Moore records, a Maneki Neko, some cheap scampi, came home and started writing a new song on the Joanna.
But more importantly.. I'm playing at The Bronze Doors - Portsmouth Guildhall on the 9th of April. They'll be a photography auction for charity too, so it should be a good evening.

Six

Finished recording 'Just Because' when I got home last night. It's now on www.myspace.com/beaubrummelmusic.
Today I uploaded a couple of videos of me playing Rosie II and a relatively new one 'Rosie III (1349)' to http://www.youtube.com/user/patrickbalfe. If you like '..1349' there's a free mp4 download at http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nd2y1howmmi.
Ciao.

Five

Took a coach to London with no plan of action. Ended up seeing The Fall at Koko. Mark E Smith came on in a wheelchair, played a few songs, got wheeled off and sang the rest of the set from backstage. Going back home in four hours, finish recording new song, ride my bicycle, have a cup of tea.

Four

With the money I saved not drinking I bought a new bicycle.

Three

No one appreciates cold-turkey-clap-trap. Must remember to not be an idiot. I did not understand it when I met A.T. Wells but it is quite clear now.
Anyway, I am composing and recording plenty as a positive result of it, and am steadily burying myself under my ever-growing collection of musical instruments. I wrote and recorded a new song 'Practitioner of Love' a week or so ago and included in it my latest addition to the family - a melodica. This track can be found on the Myspace page - www.myspace.com/beaubrummelmusic
I just need to find a small group of musicians now who can play sitar, harmonium, melodica and bongos as my songs are becoming more and more impossible to play live. Volunteers?

Two

Weather's gastly, TV's terrible, ISA setup attempt no. 2 seems to have done nothing whatsoever, but I'm still grasping tightly onto the sides of this wagon, refusing to fall off. Tomorrow it will be 5 weeks exactly since I've had a drink. The first week was horrible and full of pain, confusion and sickness. But my mind is clear now, I feel clean and positive. No grass either. Rosehip teas and cigarettes are my only vice now.

One

Currently suffocating under an abundance of failing means of promotion. *Sigh*. "Won't you pleeease, please, help me.."
