Graffito by the great Banksy in Brighton After another open mic in Brighton on wednesday evening—at the Marlborough—I’m now on my train to London again. Let’s see how I make my way through the Paralympics that started yesterday. It was actually not very busy at the Marlborough. I’ve been told, people don’t spend much money […]
Open mics all around the week! It’s not like playing a proper concert, but it’s a great opportunity to play your songs in front of an audience and very cool for to get in touch with people. Today I’ve been playing at The Sidewinder in Brighton which is at the center of Brighton’s queer scene. […]
So I’ll be leaving Bath in a couple of minutes heading for Brighton. This time I’ll be travelling by train. And by tube, actually: from London Paddington Station to London Victoria. In ein paar Minuten verlasse ich Bath und fahre nach Brighton. Diesmal nehme ich den Zug. Ach ja, und die U-Bahn: vom Bahnhof London […]
(für den deutschen Text bitte nach unten scrollen) Yesterday was a really good day! A Sunday in Bristol. After having breakfast in the sun near the Abbey in Bath, I took the bus to Bristol again. The day before, I had made lots of phone calls, one of them was with Mark Venus, a musician […]
Strangely enough, I am enjoying a rainy day in Bath. Well, actually it’s not raining at the moment, but it’s wet, it’s cloudy and it’s chilly—and I like it. I’ll be back with a report on yesterday, which was really great (yes! it’s my new love Bristol again)! Merkwürdig: ich genieße gerade einen regnerischen Tag […]
Bristol: mein erster Eindruck in der Fußgängerzone beim Busbahnhof: nicht schön, aber irgendwie eine angenehme, höchst lebendige Atmosphäre. Zu dem Zeitpunkt kannte ich freilich die schönen Teile der Innenstadt noch nicht. Ich war begeistert! Und so folgte nach einem netten Plausch mit dem Busfahrer (des Busses, der mich von Stratford nach Bristol gebracht hatte) das […]
On a bus again. Quite excited about the coming days. Longer post follows. Wieder im Bus. Ich freu mich sehr auf die kommenden Tage. Melde mich bald mit einem längeren Text.
After a 20 min walk through all of the town center with my heavy luggage I just got on the coach to Bristol, that was then going all the way back passing by the house I had lived in (well, of course there was no other stop, but anyway). The very friendly driver even let […]
Before leaving here’s some pics of Stratford. Lovely little town, even though it appears to be a bit unreal—more like the scenery for a film. Bevor ich weiterfahre, hier noch ein paar Bilder von Stratford. Eine hübsche kleine Stadt, obwohl sie ein bisschen unwirklich wirkt – eher wie eine Filmkulisse. (Shakespeare’s Birthplace—as you might suspect […]
I didn’t make it to publish another post yesternight—I fell asleep over writing it 🙂 Chilled to the marrow I left the ‘Acoustic Yard’ event at Cox’s Yard, a pub and live music venue. I opened that night and even though I had to play before the official start, there were at least SOME people […]
