OK, Andrew Dubber tweeted about these guys a few days ago - I opened the website, and left the tab open for later perusal. I wouldn't have left it this long if I'd known. Wow. Seriously great band - s ... Read More on Steve Recommends... http://post.ly/D0IV

Steve Lawson Collecting together this year's musical experiments Pt 1

This year, I haven't put out any 'official' music. No album, no EP - nothing. End of last year was the Lawson/Dodds/Wood album, which I'm hugely proud of. But I have been documenting some of my experi ... Read More on Steve Recommends... http://post.ly/Ctcn

Steve Lawson Playing fretted bass for the first time in AGES!

Haven't had some moderate musical successes over the last few days on fretless bass, I thought today I'd have a play with my 6 string fretted bass - it's an awesome instrument, sounding and feeling un ... Read More on Steve Recommends... http://post.ly/Cp8x

ha! I'll save that for my four string bass, Ben - the 6 really isn't set up for it... maybe I should try a super light set of strings on it :)

I do that quite a lot, especially on ambient gigs. Once did a gig at the top of the Gherkin (I think it was the first proper live gig up there) with Theo Travis, as a duo, and there were NO monitors at all. no speakers near us, so we were playing in the corner, then wandering around to see if it sounded OK :) Was a lot of fun, if a little weird ;)

Steve Lawson sorry for the absence - I'm in the middle of trying to write a 50,000 word novel in a month, with the added fun of finishing it before the baby arrives... Send me a message if you want the link to read the first 14,000 (unedited) words :)

I'm up to just under 20,000 words now, so we'll see how I go! I'm guessing I'll be doing less writing once flapjack arrives.. ;)
