ohmygodohmygodohmygodOHMYGODOHMYGOD:
30 April 2011 and, as Kurt Vonnegut Jnr said, "So it goes..."
"Six Winter Mornings" has garnered its' first review (c/o dear Johnny Bull's Twitterings)
by David Quantick in the upcoming issue of "UNCUT" magazine.
Meanwhile the G!st song "Love At First Sight" will be playing over the end credits of
a new French film by Christophe Honore
called "Les Bien Aimes" (The Beloved) which is to be the closing ceremony feature at
the Cannes Film Festival this year - mon dieu, c'est magnifique!
Right, it's nearly the end of March..... and the release date for "SWM" is now set for
20th June.
Much has been occuring meanwhile, including the ongoing recording of trackage for
"The Devil Laughs" and the formation of a new band, called Tree, which features
Melody Moxham on Voice and Andrew Moxham on a dazzling array of
Instruments. We debut on Sunday 23rd July at the Ashley Wood Farm Festival of
Yours Truly will also be doing a solo set at the Festival featuring a selection of new
material from "Six Winter Mornings" and the forthcoming album as well as stuff from
"Personal Best" and "The Huddle House." Look out for guest spots from friends old
and new aussi. Tree make our first recording this weekend, a new song, as a contribution to a CD in
support of Japan Red Cross and will also have our piccies done, so watch here or
hereabouts for more.
04/04/11...and here is more: we duly committed "Alright" to MP3 and it has been e
mailled to those good folks at Vinyl Japan this very evening.
4th January 2011 already....
And the next record is on the way: the EP "Six Winter Mornings" is finally ready to be
Mastered for pressing. The previous, January release date, was postponed because I
decided to remix one of the tracks, a relatively complex production called "Blue Loop,"
which proved to be a tricky balancing act - adding drums to it in the process. It took a
lot of attempts until I cracked it, just before Christmas, and gratefully collapsed into
the snowbound holiday, but it was definitely what needed to happen.
So, with that baby waved off, I'm returning to the studio to resume recording my next full album "The Devil Laughs."
I hope to laugh last.....
One enjoyed a baronial gig, at the perfect Luminaire, on Friday 12th November in the
excellent company of many friends, both on and off the stage.
Many thanks to Louis Philippe for inviting me and organising the whole caboodle, and to our daughters and friends for manning the Box office etc.
Big shout out to Melody Moxham for a stunning first appearance, duetting with her Dad.

 Stuart Moxham: Personal Best
Reviewed By: Tommy Gunnarsson Label: Habit Records Format: CD "My first idea was to write this review without even mentioning Stuart Moxham's involvement in the fantastic, groundbreaking 1970's indie pop trio Young Marble Giants, as I thought that it would be nice for his music to stand on its own. But then I thought that it would be silly not to mention it, so I decided to get it over with straight away. So, now you know. ..and from the US online magazine "Babysue": "We are somewhat embarrassed to admit that even though we were rabid Young Marble Giant fans decades ago...for some reason or another we have somehow managed to miss out on Stuart Moxham's solo career. In any event, we were pleased to receive this disc...and rather curious to see what Moxham's music sounds like in 2010. The appropriately-titled Personal Best presents 20 tracks (!) of smart, subdued, modern pop with a difference. The songs have a really cool presence and feature wonderful gliding melodies. What strikes us most about this album is the overall fresh spirit/vibe. Instead of sounding like a man who has burned out from writing and recording too much music...the tracks instead have the cool spontaneity of a young musician who has just entered the world of recording. Lovable tracks include "Vampire of Love," "Sunday Afternoon," "Autumn Song," and "Cars in the Grass.".....and, meanwhile, Yours Truly is recording more new material for the "Six Winter Mornings" mini-album out this Autumn."
