24th January Promo Day

January 27th, 2008 by Billyb | Posted in Road Blog |

The notion of this festival being the Big Day Off has proved rather hollow for yours truly. Since I got to New Zealand, I’ve been doing loads of promo for the new album on those days when I’m not performing. It’s all good stuff but it kind of explains why it took me over a week to post my first blog entry. I didn’t even get my swimming trunks wet until we got to Byron Bay. My itinerary (aka the lie-tinerary) claims today is a day off but I’m running round doing interviews from 9.30am till 4pm. All good stuff though: Classic FM talking about Beethoven and Blake, local prison radio talking about Jail Guitar Doors and then discussing the album with people who have actually heard it.

Good news is that Shannon, the poor soul tasked with job of production manager the Lilyworld stage, has got the props we need for our little bit of mischief at tomorrows BDO.

    Cap’ain,

    I’m still look for any sign of an Indigenous population, but it looks like the coast is clear for the continuation of the Empire’s Imperialist interests.

    PS Loved the little skit, and the performance later on brought tears to this (26 years) ‘Old Clash Fan’…I’ve now seen you and ‘Uncle Joe’ on Australia/Invasion Day.

    Have been waiting anxiously for news of an Irish gig - Vicar Street again? But as the last gig announcement went by without as much as a mention of the fair green isle, I’m beginning to fret if we are to be left without?
