Purveyors of Nordic Jazz Metal, Shining

I’m in the North of Holland this weekend, giving a presentation at something called Lopend Vuur. It’s a music industry thing, and I explain it a little bit on my New Music Strategies website.

I had a meeting at Jibbering Records with my friend Robin this morning. He’s just about to release his first ‘official’ 12″ record – though I have both of his unofficial bootlegs (released under the name ‘The Friendly Rasta’), and I played them when I DJ’d at the Big Chill Bar in London a couple [...]

Photo by Kate Beatty
Just thought I’d show you a couple of the photos that Kate came back with after our photo shoot upstairs at the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath last weekend. I’m really stoked with them. She’s including the one above into a collection she’s doing of portraits of Birmingham Creatives.
Absolutely delighted to [...]
