Frightening!  I can feel cavitities resonating in my head that I didn't know existed as I hit notes I didn't know I could sing. Goodness knows what I will sound like after a few months of this! http://www.dalby.net/2008/07/02/speech-level-singing/ Enjoyed playing at Down2Earth on Saturday night. I am having a minor rebuild on my vocal style at the moment, and I felt like I was beginning to be able to 'do the business' live during the gig. Met a producer who asked for a promo pack, which was gently ... http://www.dalby.net/2008/06/02/down2earth-and-romsey-beggars-fair-2008/ Nice review of Symphony of Silence here: http://twangtown.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/ http://www.dalby.net/2008/04/14/symphony-of-silence-review/ 'No Shadow' was the #1 best selling indie rock track today (Saturday 5th April)! http://amiestreet.com/charts/today/indie+rock http://www.dalby.net/2008/04/05/1-selling-indie-rock-track-on-amiestreet/ We've had some technical problems with the site over the last week, but fingers crossed we're up and running again.

Most of me stayed warm, but my guitar playing was definitely hampered by playing with gloves. Tried one number without, but quickly couldn't feel my fingers. ... http://www.dalby.net/2007/12/23/greenpea-gig/ I am playing a solo gig down at the Studio this Saturday.
