The Prophet is not dead!



Well as some of you have detected I have been very quiet for the last Hmmm 2 years or so. Do not fear I have not dropped off the face of the earth far from it. i have been working with my boys the Austin Francis Connection or their acoustic hip hop material. They have done I live CD which is available at their gigs which was recorded by your truly and I have also been working on their debut album. We do not get much time to work on that due to their hectic touring schedule and my busy life.


I have also been working on Liz Hallam's material for her debut album which is progressing nicely I am trying to persuade her to perform some at North 08 as she has some awesome material.












I have also been working on my material...yes the Prophet is not dead! It is a logistical nightmare as I at present do not have a band and I am also not working with a singer so I am not sure how I am gonna gig this one, but it is on the whole moving forward. I would say that it piviots around the last album as it were some of the tracks are more chilled than the last album and some are more agressive. the last album was a more vocally directed album and this is going back a bit more to my roots with the material from @ Rest in God but the the sophistication that has been developed over the years. It is a well rounded album, I am also weighing up if it is to be a download only album...hmmm.

I also had a fun experience yesterday trying to overtake a car and the knob on my gear stick came off flew out of my hand and landed in the backseat somewhere. so I am parallel with this car and trying to overtake and all I have is the gearstick stalk. So I grabbed the gearstick stalk and dropped in behind the car I was trying to overtake and then pulled to the side of the road. I did find the gearstick knob but it was weird to suddenly not have a gear knob.
Exciting and a little scarey.
