As I write this I’m packing the final bits for my trip to Oman, and the snow has just started outside.
This will hopefully be my last update until I return on Feb 15th, if I manage to get there in the first place.
Something about January, especially toward the end of the month, is ripe for a good party.
Ran into Marnie Scarlet again and had some time for some drinks and smokes too this time.
All the performers stayed, and the backstage was like the kitchen in a party at home, everyone crowded in there chatting and drinking, then more, but the less said about that the better.
I pity those that had to clear up.
Following that we were back there again at the Lexington to shoot a video for the Urban Voodoo Machine’s forthcoming single, I’d Rather You Shot Me Down.
Anthony and Miranda pictured below will be helping with the video, Anthony filming and editing, Miranda doing the fonts and staring in it too. More on that later.

A very intimate affair was arranged this New Year’s at The Gypsy Hotel.
After all the excitement of The New Orleans Wedding something a little calmer was called for.
That is not to say that front room vibe of The Dalston Devil Trio wasn’t a perfect start to a debauched evening of the usual stomping bands and burlesque.
Great Stuff.
I was commissioned to go on tour for 36 hours with The Urban Voodoo Machine.
I have a great relationship with the band so I thought I would bring a video along and see what happened.
Although I stuck to mainly capturing the band photographically a long video did materialize after the trip.
Linked Below are The Bulldog Bash and The Endorse it stills on The Urban Voodoo Machine’s facebook, and The Wilderness stills on Facebook, as well as the video link.
All three festivals had their good points but Bulldog Bash had Status Quo and Bad Manners and we spent the most actual time there so here with a few photos to give you a taste.

Great gig presented by Vive Le Rock and Gypsy Hotel at the 100 Club, a launch party for The Wolfmen’s new album, Married To The Eiffel Tower.
The band stayed for a drink and mingled with the fans afterward and the atmosphere was top notch. One fan made it all the way from Paris on her own, lovely to meet you Martine. She is pictured below with sunglasses and a hat.

A fun and intimate affair showcasing a few bands. The evening felt a bit like a jam at someone’s house. Son of Dave did an impromptu appearance with blues singer Mika, and Jo Whitney played a guest role in all the bands. Had a top night, thanks to Heather for asking me along.
