Anything for a healthy voice that’s recommended by has got to be worth a go. But will it make me sing like her?

BANDS & MUSIC FRIENDS!?!?! I'm in the process of launching a new Print-On-Demand band merch business where all our products will be made right here in Yorkshire by proper r**t good Yorkshire folk. And I'm looking for fellow bands or artists who will allow me to use their logos or artwork to produce some samples to be used for marketing the business. If you choose to participate, the samples will be yours free of charge once we have finished taking pictures. We're talking T-shirts, Hoodies, Hats etc. It will also mean that your band/logo will get a load of free advertising as we promote our business. Part of this business will be to promote bands and build a community of everyone who use our services. They will be promoted on our website in a special artists section with links to their socials and where they sell the merch they get from us. We won't need too many to get going so first come first served. Just wanted to post this to just my FB friends initially to give you lot a change to get in on it first. After which I may post this to local musician groups. Ping me if you want in.

Let's get out and vote! Let's make our voices heard!
We've been given the right to choose between a do**he and a turd!
Or in this case between a Mexican or Japanese 60s reissue Fender Stratocaster.

New Year, New Business Cards. These proved surprisingly popular last year with people picking them up at our gigs.

Is this the best amp for beginners? Or just a fantastic piece of gear all round. I can tell you one thing, the value for money here is insane.

Dogshark HQ circa. 1993. This is how we got started back in the day. Actual pictures from my bedroom in 1993. Picking up this Boss Katana got me thinking about my beginner journey all those years ago. My first “proper” guitar and amp. Learning random tab from guitar magazines. Playing along to tunes on cassette so had to stop and rewind every time I had to go over a bit. If you wanted to specific tab for a song you had to go and buy the books from a music store. And yes that is a Boss Metal Zone. Kids today don’t know how easy they got it with YouTube and laptops. *shakes fist at cloud*

I’m gonna be Ninja! Been curious about these for a long time. Boss Katana 50 Mk2. Widely regarded as the ultimate beginner/bedroom player amp, it’s jam packed full of features and very affordable. When I was starting out an “affordable” amp was a far cry from this so I was curious to get a taste of what today’s best starter amp would do for me. And how would it stack up tone wise against the “big boy” amps I’m used to playing. **n

Fun times ahead…

New Year. New Look.

Latest pedalboard iteration. Swapped out an EHX POG for a Boss OC-5 and added a vintage 90s Arion Stereo Chorus into the FX-loop chain. Looking forward to gigging with this set up. If it doesn’t change between now and our next show. 🤣 **n **n **n **n

Head over to my YouTube channel for my latest vid on Octave Pedals. Link in Bio. Can the EHX POG get beaten off my pedalboard? **n **n **n

Crusty & Rusty Original 1980s Arion SCH-1 Stereo Chorus. This was one of my first ever guitar pedals when I was a kid. I trashed it and eventually threw it away. Little did I know it would become such an iconic circuit now copied by some of the biggest pedal manufacturers. Had to pick one up just for the nostalgia. Swirly Leslie lushness. **n **n

A year ago this week I played my first show in 11 years with my band Simultaneously blowing off a decades worth of cobwebs and exercising a few demons. It’s been an incredible year since then with the band going from strength to strength. Couldn’t be happier. **n

So my uncle Joe, a world renowned poet otherwise known as The Bard of Dalston, has written a book. A work of “faction” as he calls it it’s part memoir part musing on how people get stuck. Based on true events, there’s even a chapter inspired by the time Joes band toured the Barcelona club scene with me in tow as support. If you’re at all a fan of music you will be entertained. Out this Friday.
Get it here….

Love my no nonsense straight player PRS S2 guitars. They’re great but need a little help in the electronics department. Thats why I install Fishman Fluence Classic Humbuckers in all mine. I also add a TV Jones spec treble bleed to smooth out the volume pot. Hipshot Open gear locking tuners and a few cosmetic upgrades and these are absolutely stunning guitars to play. And sound incredible. You can keep your 10 top private stock wood library tomfoolery. These are the PRS guitars that do it for me. **n

Fun little project today. Gonna go LIVE on my YouTube channel later today while I install these Fishman Fluence Classic Humbuckers into a lovely PRS Custom 22. We’ll be talking volume pots and treble bleeds and vodka based cocktails as we go. Not sure on what time yet. Keep an eye out for a notification. **n

Bunch of pedals up for sale on my Reverb store and Facebook Marketplace. Go grab em now. The OCD clone is especially good and a one off. **n **n
