Rolling Sideways - Hope & Social

New video from one of my festival favourites at this year's Deer Shed Festival.

New Song - Possibly?

Help! I've got this bloody tune in my head and its doing my napper in.
I need a cunning linguist to add some words, or a brave charmer to tell me its rubbish and forget about it.
It goes (surprise surprise)

verse G (with the harmonic d note 2nd string 3rd fret sounded), D, G(d), D, G(d),D, G(open), Em, A, D
'I just give a shit about your heart' goes over the Em, A, D
Chorus A, G, A, G, A, G, Em, A, D

I think it should be a list type song, of all the things this guy does care about and then the romantic pay off 'I just give a shit about your heart'

Little Birdie

I've been watching a few videos of this song and loads of people seem to thrash this one out, but it seemed better at a more sedate pace for me. This version by Pete Seeger is great, check out the length of the neck on that bad boy banjo.

Squeeze Me!

I was listening to the Who the other day and remembered the banjo break in Squeeze Box, so I thought why not?

The Road

This is the first run through of a new song by Mark 'The Road'.

Cripple Creek

It's been a while since I've posted a version of this tune, but the other night we tried with just two banjos and it sounded OK - better than its sounded with the whole gang.

The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio

Another winner from Leeds Festival. Wasn't too sure that they were great outdoor festival fodder but the music was great. I'd love to see em in a hall.

Pulp - Leeds Fest

Been a busy summer and it was all rounded off with a trip to Leeds Festival. Apart from Pulp nailing it on the Sunday night, my most memorable experience was walking through the campsite on Sunday night on the way home - It was like a scene from Apocalypse Now.
