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.

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.

On Sunday last I went along to my first Bandstand Busking event, since I'd signed up to be kept informed a while ago.

One More Cup of Coffee ( Valley Below ) Bob Dylan cover by Andy Roberts on Youtube

I've always liked Bob Dylan's Desire album And once knew all the words to Hurricane...Isis too, but that was a long time ago.

Then I learned a way of playing Mozambique on the guitar and passed it on.

The Rowan Tree

The Rowan Tree is a new folk song written recently and first performed at one of the regular Tuesday Evening Andy Roberts Webcasts at 7.00pm weekly.
