Eurobusk 08 Episode I of VI

Matt — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:03:06 +0000

This is the first episode of the second Series of The Eurobusk Saga.

Watch how 4 young musicians navigate their way through Europe armed with 2 video cameras, the instruments on their back, a pad full of Christmas tunes and their trusty steed; The Flash.

This years tour route sees the young Quarter Tones Brass Quartet travel to Berlin, Prague, Slazburg, Luxembourg and London.

Episode 1 Begins with controversy in London’s Covent Garden, the Flash’s race against time to the ferry, the first of a BRAND NEW FEATURE and an interesting journey to Berlin. All in all not a great start to the trip for us but an entertaining first Episode for you.

So enjoy Episode I of Series II

Eurobusk 08 Podcast

Matt — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 16:52:33 +0000

Here is my final live post for a few days. I won’t lie to you and say I’ll be sneaking into internet cafe’s to post everyday from Europe. Who would?

Instead I’ve left you with a good week of pre made posts whilst I’m tearing up Europe with the Quarter Tones.

AND if that wasn’t enough. Despite having two long and full days of busking the streets of London we have recorded a one-off podcast all about ourselves and our up and coming adventure. Generous hey??
I hope you enjoy the podcast and have all the usual fun on the lead up to christmas.

A Couple of New Photos

Matt — Sun, 25 May 2008 15:41:00 +0000

I’ve spent a little time today editing and resizing some photo’s on my site so I can brighten up a few of my pages. This ones from a gig I did a while ago with Chris Lydon’s Northern Lights Jazz Group. It was a great day as we managed to cram in 2 big gigs into one day with no rehearsals and 2 deps.

Playing; Faster, Harder, Stronger

Matt — Thu, 15 May 2008 20:07:09 +0000

This gym stuff hurts. Another 10 miles and then those terrible sit up things with Pete but I have to say my playing has improved. I just find everything a little easier – now this may be due to “good day syndrome” and have nothing to do with healthy changes. But still , it’s pretty cool.

I’m down for an orchestral gig on Saturday which is all over the stave, so I hope my good form continues as it has to be classically high rather than Big Band high (which I find a but harder).

I’ve had some troubles with the company I bought my mic’s etc off so I’m currently waiting for my money back before I try again. So you’ll have to wait for recordings to be posted.

On the plus side Master musician shoots are going well and should be up in the very near future and after hearingChris Lydon’s reaction to his first viewing of the Eurobusk 07 trailer over the phone I think I’ll put up the second trailer next week.

Lots of things to look forward to…

Northern Lights

This is a group a play with run by Chris Lydon. The line up varies from a small band to the a doubled up horn section for bigger works.

The gig is sold out tonight and accompanied by a meal but it’s a hell of a blow. We rehearse for 2 hours before and then play a 3-4 hour gig finishing in the early hours of the morning. So it’s a bit like running a marathon. Great fun all the same!!

I will make sure that I post up the next public gig we do so if you’re around you can have a look.
