  2. Welcome to songstuff the songwriters community
  3. You know sometimes this world for me can be a very daunting place, in the past I have had my fair share of troubles but then again haven't we all On a daily basis I deal with whatever I come across in whatever way I can and that is ok Tonight this being Saturday I was invited along to Mr Kincaid's pre 40, 40th birthday party and sure he asked me to play a few song The only regret is my partner wasn't there to share it with me , I love you honey you are an inspiration to me With it being a family party I done some of my more mellow songs I must admit I found it a little scary, being so close to an audience but I did my best and it was good I really enjoyed my night Soapy being soapy dos not do things by half we set up with the KL banner and a bar stool or 2 some nice lighting I even done a cover of Paulo Nutini's Candy and although to be fair I missed a few lines it was worth doing Patrick Bullen and Vivian Scotson did a great set with some of my fav songs such as the lights go out , set in stone and a wonderful cover of Sweet child of mine you really have to check them out at Uisge Beatha in woodlands rd Friday 2nd October Patrick has a special talent in his guitar playing and a vocal that anyone would be proud to posses Vivian has a fantastic range and at some point can move you to tears with her soft emotional voice, just do not let Patrick tell jokes And to be honest they both work well together I also met Tiily who is on my friends list on my space what a truly interesting person we chatted as if we had known each other for ages; it was so nice to meet her Happy birthday Soaps I am glad I have you as a friend and Susan you are just a hunni loves ya loads And that is what life is all about family friends and enjoying life I really don't know how as I remember the days when a party sing along was the wild side of life or ten guitars oh but not at soapy's party no that wont do at all Mr kl and his friend went up and did a medley of Portland bill into rainbow (yes the Zippy George and Bungle one ) and to top it of a fantastic rendition of am the king of the swingers although soapy's timing was well out it was a different concept to party sing along well done guys We have a few new dates up on the site for your viewing We are indeed well chuffed to be a late entry into the Tarbert Music Festival and it was by pure chance that a band pulled out don't know who they were but we thank you And with that I will leave you with this thought We are blessed for the simple reason it's not what we know! but who we know as our friends They are really hard to come by but I am indeed blessed Ps. If you haven't seen a friend in a while why not give them a wee call and catch up   Be Good Thomas x

  7. Hello and welcome to songstuff
  8. Jugglers, Actors, musicians of every conceivable gandre and all on or around the Glasgow subway that was the order of the day yesterday we played a little jam session with Patrick Bullen, Vivian Scotson, Mary K Burke and Rachel Dawick some nice tunes played songs like, Set in stone by Patrick and Vivian to a cover of James sit down …………..even a wee rendition of the Police's Roxanne so good fun had by all and some new friends made too........................................ oh and yes MR KL himself was in on the act you can see him in one of our pics Although it has been quiet over the last few weeks, wed night, we are playing Bar Bliss in Kirkintilloch, so if you are not watching the footie then come along For you all tomorrow is a bank hol but unfortunately, I have to go to work, as we do not get this one boooooooooooo Would you believe it we sent 2 of our Ep's off to foreign parts one went to India and the other went to new York oh how cosmopolitan are we lol and I must say that our song count went through the roof the week after KL 4 it seems to have settled to an average of 45 plays a day now that’s not bad eh ? Our new bass player and fingers crossed he remains in the band as we don't seem to have much success with them lately has been working hard and should be ready to gig with us soon although we still seem to be finding it hard to get a drummer and as you know the bass is being played by David Blane I thought it may be a good idea to suspend him in a glass box above the stage but keep it quiet for now, I haven’t told him yet ! ! ! So this got me thinking which in all fairness is not a safe thing for me to do at the best of times There must be loads of unknown musicians out there with names the same as well known musicians so get your thinking caps on and lets se if we can list them I will start you off with John Taylor who incidentally is a great Glasgow singer songwriter with a great voice who shared his name with John Taylor from Duran Duran for now i wish you a happy sunday and enjoy your bank hol tommorow and spare a wee thought for me working Be good se ya all next week Thomas x
