The Barley Mow, Shepperton

Looks like I’ll be spending my Friday nights at The Barley Mow in the coming month.

I’ll be playing three gigs in April :  2nd (Good Friday) / 16th / 23rd (St.George’s Day)

See the ‘Gigs’ page for more details.

… plus … Ed Hamilton will be playing there on 9th and 30th and in all probability,  I’ll be there to see him play too !

So it looks like The Barley Mow in Shepperton will be the place to be  – Every Friday night in April.   I look forward to seeing you there.     BFN,  Rob.

Rob at ELTC

Thanks to everyone who came along to Ealing Lawn Tennis Club on Friday night. ELTC isn’t a place I’d played before and I found the surroundings very pleasant. There was a small but appreciative audience and I hope everyone there was suitably entertained. Thanks also to Richard for keeping Rosie company, to Simon who got me the gig in the first place and to Linda who made us feel welcome, and not forgetting Mark who did the Roadie bit at the end, helping us out with my gear !

Hopefully I will make a return appearance in the not too distant future.

BFN,   Rob.

Rob - Repeat gig at The Barley Mow

I will be doing a solo gig on :

Friday 29th January 2010

at The Barley Mow, Watersplash Lane, Shepperton …

… * plus … Don’t miss Ed Hamilton performing at The Barley Mow this coming Friday 22nd January 2010*

With the Christmas / New Year break, followed by downfalls of snow and baltic temperatures, I have recently resorted to a sort of pipe and slippers by the fireside kind of existance. But, all that is no more … banished to ancient history … a thing of the past … gone !   Now that the snow and ice have subsided, for the time being at least, I’ve taken it upon myself to venture out over the past few days, visiting various locations of musical notoriety.

Thursday night I was at The Middlesex Arms for Jam Night. I missed the first one of the year on the 7th January due to the weather conditions referred to above !  It was good to get back into it again !

Then on Friday night, I popped into the Barley Mow, Shepperton to see Ed Hamilton entertaining the locals – Another most enjoyable set from Ed, as you would expect !  Ed is a regular Friday night performer at The Barley Mow, so go and see him !

'MOT' at The Eastcote - Jan 2010

Last night ( Saturday ) ‘MOT’ took to the stage once again in front of a rauchus but appreciative audience at The Eastcote in South Harrow. This particular line up comprised Me, Lenny, and Marco on guitars, Dave on bass, and Rudi on drums. As usual, Me and Marco handled the vocals with Dave adding some welcome backing to the proceedings. It all seemed to go down well with the enthusiastic pop pickers. You can see the gig photos by clicking on Photos & Videos above. Hope you like them !

And now, a new gig for you all to scrawl indelibly into your diaries – I’m looking forward to Friday 29th January when I will be doing another solo gig, at The Barley Mow in Shepperton, no less, making another return visit.  It would be great to see as many of you there as possible.

See you soon,  BFN,   Rob.

Riff Raff at Harrow Museum

Last Sunday lunchtime, the mighty Riff Raff took to the stage for a gig at Harrow Museum. It was nice to play on a large stage for a change, even though we had to keep the volume down a bit.  All present seemed to appreciate our efforts and hopefully we’ll be back their soon. Photos and video footage will be appearing soon.

MOT at The Eastcote

Next Saturday, 5th December, ‘MOT’ are back at the Eastcote in South Harrow. The band is hoping for a good turnout to kick off the forthcoming Christmas festivities. See the Gigs page for details.

I’ve booked a solo gig to kick off the new year. I will be appearing at The Barley Mow in Shepperton on Friday 8th January 2010.  See the Gigs page for details.  So get yer diaries out and make a note !
