Taking a break
Holiday time!!!
Just got back from a summer break, so what should a singer / songwriter do on holiday? The answer is Karaoke. I feel that it is my responsibility when on the Costa Del Sol in Spain to bring some Naraick style culture to the bars generally full of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tom Jones, Neil Diamond wannabees. Not that there is anything wrong with the music of these singers, its just that I feel that a little bit of brit pop and indie music should be added to the mix.
It is not important that the average age in the bars is often around 75 years, it is surprising how well a little Imagine Dragons, Oasis, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Bastille, Tom Odell etc is received. Though often I am approached with the question "Who sang that last song you sang...." at least it breaks the ice with the locals.
Anyway in between having to earn money and finish an album at least I can back with a few song ideas to work on so watch this space.
Stay cool
