I haven’t posted for a while. I’ve been concentrating on myspace.com/huntphil and facebook. Difficult to know which to continue with when you have limite
d time. Anyway, the ankle is much better. I am running once or twice a week on it and it doesn’t give me any problems; however I have a serious calf problem which, according to my physio Lucy Haith may well be related to the ankle problem – I am probably over-compensating for my weakened ankle, thereby putting more strain on my calf. Whatever: it is it is painful.
Music-wise I did a gig a couple of weeks ago at the Man on the Moon in Cambridge. I also ran the sound for a local Battle of the Bands with a great Allen & Heath desk and things that we hired in for the occasion. You can find more pictures at my Myspace.com/huntphil site.
I’ve started two new contracts on the consultancy side with two brand new
clients, one through my mate Howard and the other through Collette Harrison, who I was introduced to by my friend Susan (who I really must get back in contact with). One of the contracts is in the City, where I haven’t worked for 5 or 6 years. The other is in Hammersmith. Lots of travelling and too much time. But I get to go to the top of the very tall building in Canary Wharf which, by the way, sways wickedly in the wind.
My goal for this year is to play c. 1 gig every month - the Cambridge one was the first of these. I saw a post on Myspace asking for a band to fill a slot as a booked band had pulled out. Normally I would have not bothered, but I contact the guy and said I’d be happy to do it. He persuaded me to try and find a support band and bring as many people as we could. I found two bands to support me and we had a great night, though the audience was small – really just what we brought ourselves.
Have recently discovered Imogen Heap. Her song Hide and Seek has jumped towards the top of my favourite ever tracks. You can hear it on her myspace site at the minute myspace.com/imogenheap. Truly excellent – perhaps even genius???? Tell me what you think.
Saw a couple of bands at the Man on the Moon. Nothing very exciting, so I won’t bore you with the details.
Oh, I am also part of a group that is setting up a community record label to promote local talent in Gamlingay following on from the success of the Battle of the Bands competition. Watch this space for further details, but local bands should make themselves known to me if they are interested in getting signed an making an EP. And anyone local who wants to get involved talk to me or Bridget, Wayne or Chris.
