Crunchy On The Inside

It was 6 years ago this week that we released ‘Crunchy On The Inside’. In that primitive era there was only a CD release of the album. There was also some great artwork…

Anyway, this album has now been released on digital stores, together with additional tracks, as an enhanced version.
iTunes – Amazon UK – Spotify – eMusic – Play.com

The version on Bandcamp will be updated to include the new tracks soon as well.

Baby Monitoring System Review

Thank god for baby monitoring systems. Finally after weeks of linen and cream oriented purchases can buy something ELECTRONIC!!!

I’m also feeling the urge to blog about the one we bought in the end – the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Digital Sensor Mat Monitor, though part of me also now looks longingly at the Snuza
.

I like the Tommee Tippee one as the range allows us to get some fresh air thanks to 300m on the re-chargeable docking station. There is some sort of noise floor detector so it turns off the audio if no sound is being made, and has lights on the handset even if the voice is turned down. The BT one also had lights, but was a bit less elegant. It also gives a temperature monitor which was one thing we were after in particular. At the moment we haven’t used the motion detection via mattress system, and there are other bits and bobs like remote controllable night light and a two way talk system which allows me to have conversations with the wife while she is holding the baby.

Why the Snuza might be nice is that they have a base unit that is battery powered as well, making it a bit more portable.

NHS Knees Up Fundraiser

Well it was a bit stressful organising as well as playing a gig but at the end of the night we had raised £180 for Addenbrookes Osteopath clinic and Chesterton Medical Centre Physiotherapy Department who have spent the last year operating on and tending to my knee respectively. It was the last full gig I’m doing before the baby comes along (and probably the last one I do for a few years after the baby is born as well!) so it was nice to see so many people turn up and support the cause.

Particular thanks must go to the support acts – Tom Conway and Jacqui & Geoff for playing. The support act from London didn’t show, and didn’t let us know she was not going to show, but I understand its scary for some London born and bred types to go beyond the M25. Still, it gave me the chance to do an extra mini acoustic set between the other acts, which was quite nice as I had been fretting how to squeeze everything I wanted to play into the single set. David Young also had to pull out, but at least he let me know. Being due to his wife being imminent with a baby as well, I totally understand. I am glad to say his wife has given birth this week, so congrats to the proud mum and dad.
