bands played with:
1. keith totp (24)
2. thee faction (16)
3. the traps (8)
4. deptford beach babes (6)
5. penny orchids (4)
6. rebekah delgado (3)
7. the dom green mystery machine (1)
8. the famous cocks (1)
9. morley swing band (0) (i'm kind of counting them because even though our end of term concert was cancelled, we played it for freddy, the old guitarist who'd popped into say hello.) (an audience of 1 is still an audience, right?)

...and i seem to have spent the most time at: buffalo bar (7); the windmill (5), paper dress vintage (5). which isn't that bad, really. though i feel a bit like i've spent half my life at the buffalo bar the facts do not support this!

(may looks mega-busy but it did involve TOUR! and a festival.)

only a little bit of recording this year. well this: most of a thee faction album; a couple of tracks for penny orchids; a christmas e.p. for keith; one track for rebekah delgado.

listen to tom wrigglesworth's open letter to richard branson* on radio 4.

because:
a) tom is VERY GOOD at being VERY FUNNY.
b) tom is VERY GOOD at being LOVELY.
c) tom has MOST EXCELLENT hair.

(if i was any good at pimping i'd remember what date it's supposed to be on, all i can remember is that it'll be on at 11pm. contains swears.)

(i saw this recorded on tuesday** and had a stupid grin on my face and sore hands after.)
