LAGER TIME - On the Support of Football Support - Meditations Book q →

Easy easy easy

The first Lager Time episode of 2024 is up; it’s called On The Support of Football Support. In it I talk about my love of Millwall FC and my simultaneous dislike of crystal palace.

It’s the first in a new series I’m writng, in repose to 12 quotes from the 12 books of Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations (one peice for each book)

Something a little different to what I’ve done before but I’m enjoying writing it, hope you enjoy reading / listening to it.

New Muddy Feet Video: Watts and Pommerlers

Sometime last year (not long out of lockdown, if I remember rightly) my good pal, The Prince of Penge himself, Peter Hayhoe messaged me up, asking if I wanted to do some videos for his channel.

We spent a few hours filming a couple of videos round the New Cross area, then went for a pint. The video below, was a little extra thing Pete asked me to do, right at the end, for his Patreon subscribers. All I had in my head was the first verse to one of my tracks, called Watts and Pommelrers. Named after Alan Watts (who I sampled on the original track) and a nice little boozer I like to occasionally frequent up in Tower Bridge.

I messed up the lyrics a bit but I guess you’re never going to know that!

Here’s the next instalment in the Make Your Own Bed (and Hope For the Best) story development

Needs a bit of work this one but I least feel like I’m getting better at making the video’s.

Progress, mate

M.Y.O.B (A.H.F.T.B) // PART 2 - SATURDAY ASSISTANT

Bonjour

Second story from my work-in-progress theatre show, Make Your Own bed and Hope For the Best (I should have a word with the Paul Cree marketing team) - this one is based on my experiences of working in a newsagent.

Despite the lapel mike, the sound was shite so I’ve had to use the video sound. It’s not just the stories that’s a work-in-progress, this whole damn project is (have a look at a blog I recently wrote, regarding this)

Big thanks to everyone that has watched and engaged with the first two videos, I’m genuinely finding this a useful exercise and I’ll keep them coming.

Make Your Own Bed (and Hope for The Best) - Draft Story Uploads

NEW YEAR WITH A NEW SHOW (FROM LAST YEAR) BUT WITH A NEW NAME

So we all know what happened last year. COVID and that, which in my game, meant cancellations, shows, workshops, projects, the lot. I’ll spare you the ‘it’s been a terrible year’ caper but it has, however, there were a few minor victories, which I’m claiming hard.

This time last year, I was getting ready to go and do a full one-hour preview, of my new work-in-progress show, WORK. Which is about, yep, work, as in all the jobs I’ve done since I was newspaper when I was twelve; I’ve had a few. 

Did the show, it went well though I knew there was a lot of work (no pun intended) that needed to be done before it was anywhere near ready for a full run, I was still testing out ideas at this stage.

I was booked in for a two night preview at Camden People’s Theatre in April and by the end of that I was aiming to have a finished show for the end of the year-then CRASH-BANG-WOLLOP, COVID.

ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW HARDER

To be fair, it was probably a bit of a touch. I decided to leave the show for a bit and focus on other things. Anyway - I’ve since been back on it, having had a bit of a hiatus and have come at it feeling somewhat refreshed, starting with the name, which was never gonna top anyone’s Google searches, was it?!

So, WORK is no more, it is now called Make Your Own Bed (and Hope For The Best)- which sums up my working ambitions, from when I had to leave home and fend for myself.

I’ve rewritten quite a lot of it and have added quite a more stories. I’m now in the process of trying to trim it all down, so being that we’re all stuck in doors, I’ve decided to film it in small episodes and stick them up on You Tube. Just me going through that process is useful and even better if people watch and respond. I’ve already uploaded the first part and have the second part ready to go.

p.s I’m provisionally booked for two nights at CPT in June, fingers crossed it goes ahead but until then, you can see my boat and hear my dull tones on the video

Bar Crawl Freestyles

Bonjour

After getting a fiarly decent repsonse on Instagram, for all the stuff I did online with RAW 64’s of BOREDOM, I’ve been going back through the pad and dropping a few freestyles on Instragram, over some of my favorite instrumentals, then sticking them up on You Tube.

Here’s the first three
