I am utterly delighted to announce that I will be touring Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany with Songs and Whispers in July and August.
Just putting the gigs on this site took me ages and knackered me out so heaven knows what doing somewhere near thirty shows in just shy of four weeks is going to do to me.
I have put most of them up on my gigs page – some details may change but if you live anywhere west Germany be reassured I will be playing somewhere near you! Below is the fruit of my geeky friday night in with google maps 🙂
I have been having loads of fun working with a superb director called Lucy Pawlawk recently. We have been playing around with puppeteering plants and are shooting a video for Mariam’s Cake with a marionette, plants and the band in the coming weeks, featuring the legendary skills of Ronnie Le Drew.
I have just confirmed a slot providing the post-speakers music at TEDx next Sunday at London Zoo in Regents Park – I am totally chuffed to be involved in anything to do with the awesome TED movement. For those of you not in the know go here and feed your mind – http://www.ted.com/
Details about the event are here –Â http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/3525 – I am playing after the speakers at 6pm with Jane and Basia on accordion, flute and violin.
If you have not seen this video please watch it – this guy is a total hero of mine and encapsulates everything that I love about TED – http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.html
Whoops, I seem to have forgotten to post on my site that my 3rd album ‘The Nearest Door’ is now launched. You can find it on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Jamendo and many other sites.
The place I would most like you to listen and consider buying it from is http://music.robingrey.com as this bandcamp powered site gives me the highest cut of the money and includes custom artwork, lyrics and commentary for each track.
