Soft Shock - Kat and Me (22/02/17)

8/08/16 The final version - part 1 of a Trilogy to Graham (1953-2011). Photo I took in Egypt circa 1999.  Love you Graham and many will raise a glass to you on your birthday 25/01/53 and 8th August every year thereafter xx
Best loud with headphones!

GONE - but not forgotten! (Tribute to departed brother Graham)

I handed the lyrics to Kat and Claudia and 30 minutes later....
Pangolin Moon with Kat and Claudia providing beautiful vocals. A few added lead guitar fills later at home. A bit of a wobbly recording at the beginning from this little old dictaphone. Work in progress.

Don't stare at a Gorilla? Recorded on Graham's late birthday x

You Know I'm No Good (Amy Winehouse cover)- The Pangolins (Kat/Me) 22/11/17

For your amusement, bemusement or perhaps enjoyment..
Our blues band from the mid 70’s to early 80’s. Smokestack Lightening!
Originally recorded on a Ghetto Blaster, yes Ghetto Blaster, then copied to a dictaphone, yes dictaphone via home cassette player, yes cassette player! Recording not so bad after all that treatment. Headphones recommended!

Pretty Woman (Albert King cover) our young band - Smokestack Lightning then SW.KATS (1974 - 81)

Third part of Graham's departure trilogy with much love xx Hoping Kat will add some marvellous minor Harp in due course. Recorded both guitar parts at home on a dictaphone so surprisingly pleased with the outcome. Special thanks to Kefalonia for the marvellous late night  wave percussion :)

Kefalonia Waves - Just Waves and Me for Graham - Recorded 05/04/18 With Indiara Sfair influences

War Pigs - Brixton Studios as always. Loved this - One take on a dictaphone! Stroppy guitar and Kat playing harmonica for the first time I think. Thank you Black Sabbath!

I Don't Owe You a Thang - Gary Clark Jnr  Cover - Kat Among The Pigeons

A rough and ready musical diary over the last few years brimming with fun and a multidude of errors on my part. Full band (Kat Among The Pigeons) and then there is Kat and me with occasionally Claudia in attendance (The Pangolins). Originally created for personal tributes to my late brother Graham with GONE , MOVING ON (Kat on vocals) and KEFALONIA WAVES.  Thanks for listening if you do. Music is a wonderful escape x :)
