electroacoustic club at the slaughtered lamb

I have just been booked for the Electroacoustic Club at the Slaughtered Lamb next month.

It has been years since i last played there as you may be able to tell from the fresh faced photo of me above which was taken at said previous gig…

It’s always a nice place to play, convient for you zone 1 types and they do a cracking fish finger butty which makes me squeal with vegetarian envy everytime!

I am opening for Holton’s Opulent Oog, Jenny Lindfors and Ronit – sounds like some nice music will be made…

the hackney gentrification song

You know this place it means the world to me.
Knock it down build flats knock it down.
The first place I really felt home in London.
Now my life is in bags and my heart’s on my sleeve
And there’s so many memories I’d rather not leave.

When I moved here ‘The Four Aces’ club still stood proud
And ‘The Vortex’ on Church Street was in with the crowd.
Now ‘The George‘ is up next and my dear studio
And Vogue says that Hackney’s the in place to go.

Tesco’s are popping up like unwelcome weeds
And they just put a pound on the price of a pide.
The places we used to shoot pool: they’re all gone.
Whilst the prostitutes, pimps and drug dealers look on.
