on the radio in switzerland

I had a lovely email today from a lady called ‘Joelle’, the assistant producer of a daytime music show called ‘Radio Paradiso‘ on RSR La 1ère which appears to be Switzerland’s equivalent of BBC Radio 1.

It seems they have been playing my music a bit and are wondering if I might pop by to play for them on their show next time I come to play in Switzerland.

Wow.

Anyone got any thoughts on venues to play in Switzerland?!?

forest records birthday compilation

I love The Forest. A lot. A lot a lot.

On a number of occasions over the last ten years ago being able to go and hide there whilst freaking out in Edinburgh during the festival has kept me on the rails; and it still makes the best veggie/vegan burrito I have tasted.

It has grown a lot over the last ten years; once a small cafe tucked away off the Grassmarket, it is now occupies pretty big premises just by the student union and is a hub of all things I cherish. I have had the privilege of playing there many times as bassist with The Jonny Berliner Band, performed solo once and recently took my lovely band there.

I am truly honoured to have a track on it’s tenth birthday compilation ‘forest-records-presents-x’ and over the moon that they have chosen ‘Roses From Africa’.

Grey can masterfully express his thoughts without so much shoving it down anyone’s throat.
