Hello!
Busy week this week!
1) Nos Da is now ‘The Acoustic Attic’! Why? Some pesky bar in Cardiff centre stole our name! The next Acoustic Attic is the 18th April. We’ve gone all ‘Mumford and Sons-y’ this month with 3 fantastic acts (click on them to listen to them on myspace): Stokes William, 3 Pairs of Shoes and Joshua Morgan. I’ll upload the poster on here soon.

2) Stella’s School Scheme website – I’m currently grappling with lots of HTML code as I get my head around the SSS website. SSS is a school sponsorship charity that my mother runs in the Gambia. I’m taking on the lovely task of updating the charity’s online content. Hopefully with more regular updates and a charity news feed, followers will be able to find out about the good work the charity does quickly and easily. The website can be found here.

3) Jim Lockey tour – Slow and steady movement regarding the Lockey tour. I’ve been chatting to a lovely new event promoter in Leamington Spa with the possibility of a Kasbah date, I’m toying with the idea of an intimate Milgi’s set in Cardiff and I’m collating a list of regular promoters toannoy nationwide. Roll on the Lockey boys album release – can’t wait!

4) Castlecake – There has been some substantial happenings in the Castlecake camp this week. Partner meeting on Tuesday, Enterprise Wales meeting on Thursday and lots of new developments in the near future. Find out more by visiting the Castlecake blog here

And Finally: Brown for Savoury, White for pudding.

I’m off to don black tie and strut around Claire’s music ball pretending to be James bond. Tara! x

27th Feb – 5th March.

Righto! Had a pretty busy week but don’t really feel that I have too much to report!
Nos Da: I’ve just booked the latest Nos Da acoustic night date at Ten Feet Tall. Keep this date free… 18th April. 18th April. 18th April. 18th April! More details to come.
Jim Lockey & The Solemn Sun: Jim Lockey & TSS’ newest record will be released on May 8th… Wahey! I’ve been asked to collaborate with IStartedTheFire records in booking the CD release tour, which will take place from May 10th onwards. Watch this space. (P.s if you want to see them in your village/town/city just holla)
Midnight Mile gig: Tomorrow i’m (at long last) playing with my favourite musical family ‘Midnight Mile‘. Cannot wait for the gig – haven’t played in a long long time but hopefully the rust will crumble off me once we’ve practised…
Come to the Frog and Fiddle (Cheltenham) tomorrow (6th March) at 8pm if you fancy a little aural delight. If you’re reading this after the gig has happened…. you missed out!!
Castlecake Meeting: Currently compiling notes for the partner meeting next Tuesday. Lots of things to get cracking on so hopefully next weeks post will be more substantial.

Righto – quick news update… (Think i’m gonna have to make this more of a regular update thing… perhaps every/every other Friday, otherwise i just forget to do it for ages!)


Castlecake:
Firstly – huge welcome to our new partner Nat Hills. Nat is a super-skilled photographer/webdesigner/graphic designer/generally lovely person! She’s also got one heck of a creative head on her and is a huge asset to the Castlecake team. Check out some of her photography here.
 
Secondly – The introduction of Nat to the team will shift us from a pure animation house to something a lot more exciting – a full design team offering specific tools to initiate small business growth. (Good stuff!)
 
London:
TFM&A – This week i’ve been in London for the Technology for Marketing & Advertising exhibition. Like most Earls Court exhibitions it included the obligatory promotional pens, drinks, sweets, more pens and mousepads… For a marketing & advertising exhibition you’d hope that the freebies would be a little more inspirational than other exhibitions but alas…
However, the keynote speakers were pretty fantastic and you could certainly sense in the building that the market appears to be turning round from the recession (like a ‘phoenix from the flames’ to quote one particular speaker I heard on the Tuesday.)
 
Guten Abende – Obviously whilst down in Landin’, one should not sit around twiddling thumbs during the evenings and I made sure not a minute was wasted. Monday evening was spent at the Guilgud theatre with Avenue Q, Tuesday I “lmao’d” at the comedic offerings of Andy Parsons et al at the Comedy Club and Wednesday afternoon I enjoyed a particularly lovely tour round the Innocent Smoothies head quarters (affectionately dubbed ‘Fruit Towers’.)
 
And finally: Check this out! Violin Craziness
