Did anyone hear Chris Moyles talking about The Weeble on Monday's show on Radio X? It was great to hear the song on national radio and the team were very positive about it.

The song will also be played this evening on Andy Bannard's Introducing show from 7pm on 3Bs Radio 馃槉

Sorry I have been quiet recently (had some work issues which took all of my energy and what was left of my sanity).

Positive news now though: I am in the recording studio next week recording The Weeble and also my next Christmas song as well as a couple of covers and a few oddities (which will make more sense when I show you them.

Onwards and upwards! 馃榾

BBC Music - BBC Music Introducing, Lincolnshire, Festive music from Lincolnshire artists on Christmas Eve 23/12/2022

I just found out that BBC Radio Lincolnshire is playing one of my Christmas songs tomorrow evening (from 8PM UK time) as part of their Christmas Special.

I know it's Christmas Eve and you'll probably be watching festive films but the show is available both live and for up to 30 days after via this link and there are many other Lincolnshire artists featured to so definitely worth a listen if you can 馃巺

La web oficial de UK Soul Charts ha publicado esta semana la lista de las 30 mejores canciones y EP publicados.
El Ep que publiqu茅 en UK hace dos semanas ya tiene varias canciones en las listas, pero lo m谩s incre铆ble de todo que el EP aparece en el N潞 23 de los charts oficiales de m煤sica soul de UK.
Obviamente para mi es much铆simo m谩s de lo que jam谩s imagin茅.
Agradezco a todos los m煤sicos que colaboran conmigo desinteresadamente y espero que alg煤n d铆a pueda pagarles los favores que me han hecho siempre desde la amistad y el buen rollo.
Asi que va por ellos:
Ivan Cueto (bass), Jose A. Doval (keys), Charly Blanco (keys), Alba Barcia (Voice), Javier de Coupaud (bass), Julio Gilsanz (guitar), L铆a Marcos (Voice), Carlos Borji (Caj贸n), Jhonny Menendez (Keys), Gareth Hollis (Lyrics), Mikel Nyhus (Voice), Henning Danpel (Keys), Pablo Canto (Drums), Damiano Della Torre (Keys), Baltasar BassBarcelona (Bass) and many others.

https://www.uksoulchart.com/

Tampoco me gustar铆a olvidarme de muchos programadores de emisoras internacionales que me han ayudado a conseguirlo. La primera, por importancia: Joanne Rae sin su confianza en mi m煤sica nada de esto hubiera ocurrido.
Richard Marzetti, Andy Barker, Terry Peters, Gary Van den Bussche, Santiago Fontenla Conles, Iain Box, John Varnham, y aunque se que se me olvidan algunos nombres, me gustar铆a acordarme del primer profesional de la m煤sica que me invit贸 a hacer una canci贸n juntos, yo creo que es la canci贸n m谩s bonita que he hecho gracias a sus manos, su buen gusto y su profesionalidad, ese es nada m谩s y nada menos que Joan Ribas.

Still no idea why the full length version of this is blowing up on YouTube but I've now made a shorter TikTok version.

Who do you think sang it best? Dolly Parton or Whitney Houston?

I have bought one of my dream cars! It's a Phase 2 Citroen BX GTi 16V which is a car I have lusted after since I had my first BX back in 1999 (my first car and the car I passed my test in).
It needs a LOT of work but it will be my forever car so it will be worth it. Wish me luck! 馃榿
(p.s. I will probably be putting my Cavalier up for sale once I get my van back from the garage; I'm not just hoarding classic cars! 馃ぃ)

First song of the year written (having to kick myself up the arse after last year).
As an extra plus though, this song might be getting used in a film and as a radio jingle so that's pretty cool (we're not talking Spielberg and Radio 1 though lol).

I might also write another children's book but for adults if that makes sense? Basically a kid's book that is not suitable for kids. It won't be immanent though as the other 2 children's books are still at the illustration stage right now. Still, watch this space lol

Ho! Ho! Ho! It's Christmas Time! 21/12/2021

I will be on BFBS Radio after 4pm (GMT) talking about mental health and my music. Although BFBS is aimed at serving military personnel, there's nothing to stop each and every one of you listening in if you wanted to and it would be great to have a few of you with me 馃グ https://radio.bfbs.com/

I also have music featured in the Christmas Special Show on Blue Torch Radio this evening from 8PM and this is normally a cracking couple of hours of Christmas songs so try to catch it if you can 馃巺 http://bluetorchradio.com/

Just had an email from The BBC to say they are playing one of my songs on BBC Introducing tomorrow. I don't know which song as I have sent them a few over the last couple of years but I'm pretty excited!

Also from 8PM tomorrow, I have a track included in the Christmas Special Show on https://goodmusicradio.wixsite.com/gmrts so got a decision to make as to which to listen to lol. Definitely worse problems to have 馃槏馃ぉ

In about half an hour, Chucka's Christmas Special Show is on. I have it on good authority that one of my songs has been included so curious to find out which (since nobody seems to be able to agree on which is their favourite!)
If you want to listen in, I have a link for you because I'm good like that! https://382radio.co.uk/live-feed
Also, Barton FM will be playing my entire EP, Garf's Christmas Songs tomorrow from 1730 GMT but I'll post a link to that tomorrow 馃巺
