SHOP Tonight!! Perranporth

SHOP (it's a music thing!) is probably the most fun you can have with a beer in your hand.

From 9 til very late tonight Seiners in Perranporth, Cornwall kick off their 'Summer Sessions' with an exclusive SHOP gig.

SHOP gigs are very laid back but dangerously cool, and may seriously effect your music tastes.

GET STONED WITH COSMIC JAGGER This thursday nite, perranporth

i used to do some stones gigs with very competent musician friends, we were called the Cosmic Stones (previously to that, the Rolling Pancakes- its a long story!) the line-up changed quite a bit and lots of very loud, late and heady nights were had by all.

so last week i get a call from bono.. "you wanna do a gig?". "sure, bono! i'll be there!! give my love to ireland and the edge" . "its not that bono.. its ryan bono jones from the hitchcock rules..".

it was too late, i had said ill do it.. and just because this bono doesnt wear wrap-around sunnies and hang out with handlebar mustachios.. actually he might! ..but its still no reason to go back on my word.

This Thursday, 3rd sept

Seiners, Perranporth

8pm-late am

down by the beach car park

lots of other stuff too, cheap beer, loose women, rock n roll excess, tv's out the window.. you get the idea

boardmasters drawing for quiksilver

more pics here
i was hired for quiksilver at this years relentless boardmasters festival in newquay. i had a great time! and drew all day every day. only stopping to eat, go for a pee and a surf at the end of each day. someone worked out that i drew on about 80 hats and t-shirts each day.
i slept for fifteen hours last night.

empowerment. how to put a gig on

the hitchcock rules band, press play promotions and yours truly (me) have been helping young people to set up a big gig where they can earn cash and experience by promoting, organizing, selling tickets, booking bands, contacting press, ticket, t-shirt and poster design and much more including logo design, the band's image and photo shoots.

i ran the illustration and design workshop where 5 very cool, inspired and talented 'yoofs' came up with concepts, logos, styles, illustrations and design strategies for the gig AND the headlining band.. in just one day! they called themselves 'the cosmic 5 design agency'.  i am very proud of the quality and amount of ideas and sketches they came up with. (queue small tear..)

the gig is on 12 feb in falmouth, see posters and press for details.
