Gigs, Band news and Busking!

Hey guys

Just to let you know i'll be playing a full Preacher John set down at Colorz (Bar Oz), in Reading, opposite the train station, on Thursday 26th of August... I'm first on so best get there around 8pm if you want to see me play! Katy Took (drummer from my band Army of Pygmies) may be providing rythmns depending on if we can ever sort a time for practice...

Speaking of Army of Pygmies: Mr Jason "Disgusting" Field has left the ranks :( to concentrate on his own funky bandDubious Jones... so watch out for them... But we have a new guitar pygmy ably filling his large shoes - Nick! Yay! :) Hopefully the Pygmies will be out gigging in a month of so.... ROCK!

I've been working up a busking set of *gasp* covers - mainly Beatles and old soul stuff, Police, NMA etc... having learned from bitter experience that busking original songs = no money... so expect to see me sometimesoon being moved on by the plod in Reading town centre...I'm also planning to go and "busk" my own stuff outside Reading Festival this year, just like I did in '99 -I dunno if Mad Matt Westwood is up for coming along and shouting poetry at passers by, but Matt if you are drop us a line, eh? So watch out for us and hey, throw money! but not too hard!

That's all for nowCheersfromJon:)
