 Boadicea's Band
burnt by blisters,
Beerguts begone,
Bleeding bunions,
Battling blowing Beaufort,
Bombarded by bullets,
Buzzing bumblebees,
Burbling, babbling brooks,
Blindly bumbling Bravehearts,
Blithely bypassing big boulders,
Beaming Brimstone below,
Brightly bouncing before,
Burnished, bronzed Brillantine,
Bypassing barnacled Basalt, ,
Banished battered boots,
Bracken bushwacked,
Bramble boardwalked,
Bougainvillea bowered,
Birdsong beyond belief,
Banish broken busted boots,
Behold bastion beknighted balladeers!

Article about late mum's exhibition from Basingstoke Gazette 19th July 2010.
Reminds me I should have learnt Flamenco, but was too busy with other music.

 After nearly a year of doing a live streaming Andy Roberts music show on ustream I decided to turn it into a podcast as well, which means it gets recorded and made available as an audio file that can be played or subscribed to in iTunes. My version of podcasting is quite different to many others these days, it's raw and unedited, just a few original songs and introductions, no studio tracks usually, or interviews. |

If we are to live in a material world with our economic models; where every corporation has to show growth, then the whole edifice has to crumble eventually, because the Earth is only finite. Syllogistically [sp?] speaking.
There must be an ism for this impending scenario?
Oh yeah, it's called realism!
Unless, unless,we get out to develop the universal neighbourhood around us....somehow, slowly,slowly, by each generation, before everything implodes upon us.
Time is against us.

 Hi all, |

I've just had confirmation of a gig on Saturday 24th July at Romford with Adrian Nation, the rapidly emerging acoustic guitar virtuoso from Essex. I'm excited by this because I've been a big fan of Adrian Nation since seeing him play a few songs live recently, and because I'll be getting the opportunity to be the support act on the night, so it's the next Andy Roberts gig too.

 I did a disco last Saturday for a 21st birthday party, but with a mix of the host and hostesses friends (the oldies) and the birthday girl’s friends (the younguns), so it was a good mix. Everything went swimmingly; until right near the end when alcohol and hormones started taking effect on some of the younguns, and it being near the scheduled end time the hostess asked me to start winding things down to chill them out.

 Years and years and years ago I bought a sitar. As I moved around the country it got more and more beaten up to the point where everything it needed in order to be played had fallen off. I bought a new one two years ago but tuning 20 strings is quite a chore! I can't play guitar - but if I could only ever play one tune on the guitar, and it was "Dargai", the final tune on Richard and Linda Thompson's "Pour Down LIke Silver", I would be satisfied. |
