Jim and Rachael's less than proud moments...

Rough Beats advert out-takes

Ever wondered how I write music with a fantastic rhythm section?

One Zoom H2 placed in a room, far too close to the noise to sound decent. Me, Charlie Cragg, Josh Cook, funk juice, inspiration and some nutty grooves.

It is as difficult as it sounds :-p

Distorted Jam

When I was 17ish...

A jam, improvisation, a tribute to a weird guy who was staring at us, we think he was naked and had foam around his mouth.

Loreto All Star Jam Band Naked Shaver Boi

Another odyssey through time, to Joe aged 17...

A bassline, some improvisation, Charlie's obsession with fish...

Loreto All Star Jam Band - Funky Trout

I've always loved Jimi Hendrix.

When I was 17 I ripped him off very badly.

Loreto All Star Jam Band - Psychedelic Funkery

Another from my tender age of 17 years.

A tribute to a tribute. No weird guy was watching us jam, naked and foaming at the mouth. We swapped instruments around a lot. Terrible to watch but some nice ideas.

Loreto All Start Jam Band - Naked Shaver Boi (reprise)

For the benefit of my bandmates - here is the jam from Friday.

Doctor Spider - A work in progress

Awful pretend-lyric type noises, rough acoustic guitar ideas of songs I've had with average, largely improvised bass playing. It's a marker rather than a piece of art :-p

PS - I know there's no actual lyrics - I'm not a lyricist, that's someone else's job

Song Demos for new band (Pretend Lyric Noises)

To make sure that we didn't lose a melody she had an idea for, Sophie decided to leave me a singing voicemail. In Tesco. Well, every little helps...
