I'll try and make it to a London show but not sure. Shame you can't make it to Brighton.

janekbass · #3 10-13-2008, 02:43 PM

yeah, would have loved to play Brighton. They were just not forthcoming with a gig that paid enough to come down. Always seems to boil down to economics these days. I'm working on a way round it as a band leader, but it's a pretty tall order.

Easy,

Janek

Shame you aren't coming to Newcastle!

janekbass · #5 10-13-2008, 03:07 PM

well right now I have one night off on the 15th of Nov where I'll be traveling from Edinburgh to London. If someone can come up with a gig in the north to break up the journey and allow us to play another show I would be willing to listen to any offers that are out there.....

I have someone looking into some stuff in Leeds right now, but Newcastle would be cool too.

Easy,

Janek

Yeah Brighton is a weird one when it comes to jazz.

Funk? fine.
Rock? fine.
Indie? fine.
Technical Death Metal? fine.
Jazz? Hmmmm.

Hopefully something will work itself out. If not the journey to London is looking more likely.

Hey Janek,

Great to hear you're doing some UK shows. I'm going to make one of the London ones for sure.
Are you doing any lessons while you're over? I saw something on your myspace about ICCM but there's nothing on there website...I'm well up for a lesson if you have time

Cheers,

Tiernan

I will be doing lessons for sure when I'm over, I'm just not 100% confirmed on which day it's going to be. I'm hoping it'll be monday the 17th, that's what I have pencilled in right now. It'll be an all day thing I'm sure at the ICMP with one hour slots available. If there's more interest in lessons than the last time I did it there then I might do some half hour slots or a couple of group lessons. We'll see how it pans out.

Easy,

Janek

Is the ACM open to anyone?

janekbass · #10 10-19-2008, 06:40 PM

It should be. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be possible to attend. I would give them a call and check on that, they'll be able to help you a lot more than I can.

all there contact info is here:

Cheers Janek, hope to see you there, as well as in London. Will you be playing 100% your solo material or might we see some choice covers? ( I know covers is not the right word but you know what I mean!)

janekbass · #12 10-21-2008, 11:20 AM

I'm actually putting the song list together today for the tour! I'll be playing some stuff from the first album, the new 55bar album, some new compositions that I'm hoping to record in the near future, and some songs of Oli Rockberger who on keys and vocals with me on this tour.

See you in the UK!

Easy,

Janek

Saw Janek last night in Edinburgh - simply incredible stuff. If you get the chance, go and see him!
