One More; New upload on the Soundcloud

Seasons Greetings, again. I enjoy saying that, though it's something I'd probably never say. It would be more like; 'Alright, hows it going?' There's that's better. That's alright.

As per my last update, I posted up a link to the Poets Anonymous show on Croydon Radio, well I've cut up the audio and a bit and uploaded one of them on the Soundcloud. Here it is, written last Christmas and spruced up in the summer. One More

Little bits of news, Christmas and that

Season's greetings and all that. It's Monday lunchtime, I'm at home doing a few bits, trying to co-ordinate going to see Star Wars and finish Christmas shopping. Boring bits of information really but it's real isn't it. I like Christmas but I'd love it if it didn't have the additional stress, know what I mean? Anyway, some bits of news...

New Mailing List

 

Ask any artist, and I would have thought they'll tell you that self-promotion is one of those pain-in-the arse-necessary-evil things. Unless you're one of those names that's big enough they don't have to do a lot, we all have to do it, unless we want to perform to no-one. I've been told before I don't do it enough oe do it too much. I'll promote shows on here and my twitter timelines and facebook pages, beyond that not much more. I dunno, it's a fine line between plugging and being annoying and I've gone back and forth between the two, never quite fiding that balance. I set up a mailing list a couple of years back on Mailchimp and when I did it, there was a thing you could use that swept up all your email contacts from my gamil account, without asking permission, which really is cheeky. I spoke to a lot of people about it and some werent bothered by it and some were, either way, I never felt comfortable with it and was therefore reluctant to use it. So I decided to delete it and start again. This time, there's no import of contacts, just whoever signs up off there own back. I've got 8 people so far, none of which are my family and I'm actually pretty chuffed by that. So, if you're interested, the'l probabaly be once a month at most, here's a link;

Croydon Radio Appearence

 Few weeks ago I was back on Croydon Radio, for the Poets Anonymous Show with a poet called Steve Rushton. As ever, it was a good laugh and I dopped a few poems on there I've not perfomred before which I'll probabaly stick up on the soundcloud at some point. You can listen / download just below;
