Oktober update!

Buenos Bastardes rocked London Fields Brewhouse last Saturday and I have been asked back for this coming Saturday’s Oktoberfest ( Oct 13) and will be playing accordion wearing Leiderhosen…I know…

and hear I am doing it in a rather sinister “Twin-Peaks” style clip my brother shot using his Super8mm app…

Beunos Bastardes

Effective rehearsal getting friend Andre Espeut in to provide vocal coaching for lead and backing vocals. I sometimes find playing drum kit AND doing harmony backing vocals quite a challenge so was very useful.

Me playing Piano at Ironmongers Court in the City for a corporate event

 

I seemed to be the only person there without an MBE or OBE but got great feedback from attendees and the event organiser.  I can offer background piano or any musical solution for any event so do get in touch to discuss options.
