Steve Lamacq just played a song by my old band Grantura, so it says here

However, it remains unlikely that I will be recognised on my way to Halfords.

this entertained me no end. eggheads grapple with hiphop like it comes from another planet. 13.35 in….

just a quickie.

we are inching our way to becoming a presentable band. Thanks to J&T in Brighton for putting us up while we mixed the EP. The artwork is nearly done and it will be out in some shape or form, and on here in the coming months.

We're rehearsing in Worksop again, with a new bass player, Laura. Here is singer Rich in the theatre mezzanine. We rehearse in a theatre. A smelly one.

as a taster, here is the Broadway Project remix of one of our tracks, Dancing Bear. Rich sang on a Broadway Project album…

The real find of the night was Olivia Chaney. oh boy what a talent. she did arrangements…

someone blogged about us here

we are grantura

damn, i should write better journals. i wrote a really good one about all the music i'd bought from hearing it on last.fm. then i wrote another really good one about david's birthday - a night out with a bunch of 'below the radar' bands in Borough. but i lost them both when my browser crashed while i searched for links.

such is life
