Title: Song for the day :)
Post by: Schavuitje on January 22, 2011, 08:32:57 PM

I am going to try to put one link per day, to a song or piece of music that I think is worthy of a listen. Old and new, different genre's.
Maybe a bit of inspiration :)

The bass player/lead vocalist the guitarist and the female backing singer are all me best mates :)

The bass player " Magoo" is now also a guitarist and singer/backing singer in my new band The Short Straws.

For a few years I couriered bands equipment around Europe to and from festival gigs. One off shows rather than tours. The Soulwax / Too many DJ's crew were good guys. Very understanding after my journey from Hell from Turin to Novi-Sad 2008.
And I'm Scottish, based in London.  ;D

Hey Mihkay that sounds like a lot of fun to me :) Ever do Parkpop? Used to live about 5 minutes walk away from that one. Great festival!

Ok here's a beautiful song and a beautiful voice :)
