Someone at work gave me a link to a very funny set of animations called Strindberg and Helium. August Strindberg was a very dour Swedish playwright and apparently wrote plays in which the weaker characters or ’souls’ as he liked to call them would mimic the words of the stronger ones. You don’t need to […]

Cecil Sharpe House
A reminder to you all that this Saturday 20th there is an entire day of folk excitement at Cecil Sharpe House to celebrate their 75th birthday and A-Line are playing!
Expect harp ukulele glockenspiel action!
As i’ve mentioned before, this is the home of British folk and has hosted many an amazing gig in its time. […]
New Songs
I wrote some new songs over the summer and we’ve been working on the arrangements over the past few weeks. I wanted to do a some more with the harp. Not only because it sounds wonderful but once you’ve transported it and lugged it up stairs or down stairs and sound checked it […]
Cecil Sharpe House and 12 Bar Club
Ooh it’s nasty outside today! Well to cheer you up A-Line has two gigs coming up. Hurray! We have some new songs and one of them includes some pretty slick glockenspiel action. Yes!
The first is on the 15th October at the:
12 Bar Club
Denmark Street
London
It’s s tiny little dive of a place […]
LBC
I’ve been doing a bit of work experience at LBC radio as a broadcast assistant to Paul Ross. It’s been fun. Reading loads of tabloids, answering the phones to live callers, picking up celeb gossip. Apparently Steve Wright adds things like ‘great show’, or ‘loving the show today’ when reading out e-mails and […]

(Old Post) What Is The Future Of Music, No Really
Jesus Christ, Fopp have just sent us an e-mail stating that not only has our gig been cancelled but that all gigs and all shops are closing from tomorrow! This is the e-mail sent out to all performers who have been booked:
“I am absolutely gutted to inform you that until further notice the FOPP Store […]
(Old Post) Fopp, collectives and so on
I got loads of e-mails and thoughts about the closure of Fopp. One person told me how Prince has decided to release his next album as part of a newspaper’s Sunday Supplement causing outrage amongst distributors who now refuse to stock it. Someone else said they heard the Rough Trade shop is also […]
(Old Post) Notting Hill Arts Club
Oh we said we weren’t doing any more gigs this summer but then we were offered a nice one at The Notting Hill Arts Club next Monday the 13th so we will be there. It’s called Craft Night I believe and The Archie Bronson Outfit will be DJing or something but i will post more […]
(Old Post) Sold Out!!!
(Old Post) Okay, we only had a small number in the shop but all our singles at the Rough Trade shop have been sold! Can’t help but suspect that they lost them in the recent move to Brick Lane but either way we get the money and it’s starting to feel worthwhile as we sold […]
