Southsea D.I.Y.
There will be a lot more southsea DIY recordings coming soon. I’ve recorded nearly everyone since August last year, it’s taken some time to mix it all….. and I still have more to do. Here is the first of three from the 8th August:

• Kelly
• Sambulance
• The Small Mercies – recording below
• 7 years bad luck (unfortunately due to a technical fault didn’t record)

Due to the large amount of recordings I’ve take three tracks at random from each set. If you would like to get the full recording please email us.

Loads of new pictures up on MySpace and don’t forget the cream of the crop on Flickr.

Emergence are brilliant band from the south of India and played Glastonbury the next day, you can buy their album on iTunes

I have moved all the recordings previously on http://www.somefoolwitha.com/ to fawcettmade.com. Expect things to be a bit dicey around here for the coming weeks.

Hopefully some of you will be pleased to hear that as of from the next music post FawcettMade is to go live as it’s own succinct site thereby allowing this, my own personal blog the become just that once again.

I never imagined when posted my first open mic night recording, nearly a year ago, which was literally just a try-it-and-see thing how much it would invade and take over the blog – leaving little time and space for my usual (lets face it fairly points, though it IS a blog) Apple-fanboy posts and reposts. Most of these though have happily found a home on my Tumblog. Nearly a year on and it’s time to give the music its own home. There is to date a total of .. err well, many many hours of recordings. I can’t say for sure how many, but I can say over 66,000 downloads or plays.

We (That is to say Jon and I, Jon is the other soundman and he does all the mixing) are to take this opportunity to try and rationalise some of this recording in the hope of making it all better quality.

Firstly we are doing less open mics; The first and third Wednesday of the month, also only the second open mic of the month will be recorded and only new sets will go on the site. If you are part of a band and want a night at The Fawcett Inn then open mic is the perfect opportunity to let us hear you but please leave contact us by leaving a comment below or via Myspace or Facebook, addresses for which can be found on my Fawcett page. All other Wednesdays of the month will be open DJ night, another great chance to us your stuff and have a potential night DJing at The Fawcett Inn. Some of these nights may be broadcast live at the usual Ustream page.

You can keep up to date with all this on the calendar which can also can be found on my Fawcett page.

I won’t be removing any old recordings .. yet anyway, if space or bandwidth becomes an issue then it may become necessary. You’ll be able to find all the old stuff ever on my Fawcett page.

Joby & Cool Banana played at The Fawcett Inn 10th May 2008
