SCOOTER IN A THORNBUSH:
Another uplifting day rehearsing on the Essex prairies
emerged from a morning chasing technical demons like stray
cattle. The guys in the band smile & get to work, the mood
is light, focused, dedicated, peppered with laughter like
traffic cones directing us towards the light. The set
sounds great, I had no idea that playing the new album
would feel this good & explorations into cherished U/W
classics reveal a whole other point of view that makes
me want to revisit the entire U/W catalogue for live.
This has turned into a richly rewarding journey, will
anyone come to see us? – I hope so, because I’m excited
about sharing these sounds with everyone – please come.
Later, as I stand in freezing wind on a floodlit football
pitch a conversation with Robert Plant, calling from a
sunlit part of another world, one Midlands boy to another,
imparts his enthusiastic encouragement & the advice I’d hoped
for, a voice that reminds me of the Birmingham edgelands
we come from & of the fantastic journey we’re on.
Thanks to all you friends for the support you give me daily.
Now I’m gonna fire up ‘Koteja’ by the Bobongo Stars
turn it up loud & drive to rehearsal.

Buona fortuna Karl.
Sono sicuro che farete un ottimo lavoro.
Saluti dall’Italia.
Definitely be there 25th April at Union Chapel. Great if you play some U/W tracks as well. You could play the entire back catalogue as far as I’m concerned!!
We’re here, reading and listening and cheering you on daily! 🙂
im’ in!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the heads up on Celluloid…love getting my hands on lost gems like that. Listening to some Detroit Funk….James Carpenter – Party Time….fun stuff. Have great rehearsal.
