What exactly does that 'M' stand for anyway?

It seems like a long time ago now, but did you have a good summer? You're looking pretty good from my viewpoint, sitting here on my Jesta throne with my cup of tea (can you believe alcohol has only passed my lips on 5 occasions this year? Rock n' Roll, eh?)

Been a while since I made a video and the season change inspired me, so here it is.

My new favourite studio addition

I have a new favourite thing in my studio. It's not a piece of hardware. It's not an effect plug-in. It doesn't even make any sound. Heck, it's not even a lava lamp! It sits there, quietly but effectively doing its job, giving me a sense of security and peace of mind.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to [insert drum roll sampled from an old GM sound module here]...

Is This Thing On?

A few weeks ago I met a guy called Nick Tann at a music event in London called MusicConnex - he was there as both a musician and a podcaster and we had a good chat about the benefits of podcasters and musicians working together. I said I'd send Nick some music and of course didn't miss the opportunity to follow it up!

As a result Jesta's "Scully Said" was played on Nick's podcast Is This Thing On?. I hadn't had a chance to listen to the show before, but it's a good listen with lots of great music. Nick & his guest Paul get into an interesting conversation about gigging and playing cover versions. Well worth a listen!

Nick's own music is really good too - check him out at http://nicktann.co.uk.
