The Songwriters Circle
http://www.stormcock.net/node/663
Let me introduce a community for songwriters I helped set up just a couple of months ago. The Songwriters Circle aims to provide a space for collaboration and support amongst songwriters onine, and for aspiring songwriers to learn as well. Most of the interactions are taking place in a Facebook group at present, because that's where the group emerged from, and its a space that seems to be able to grow quite quickly. But there's a muti-blogging space as well, based on a primitive installation of the same drupal software as Stormcock. Throughout January we had a series of daily songwriting challenges, or tasks which helped to keep up the momentum, and provided a rich learning opportunity one way or the other. I's still no idea how many people may eventually have completed the month's worth of stuff, but there have been some very positive comments along the way. Anyway, I thought I'd mention it here because there are so many guitar players and performers, including some great songwriters who may be interested in comparing notes about the song writing process and so on, one or two who already found their way via Facebook - ( that terrible place which we only go to because everybody else is there....) There may even be some good value in taking an outsiders' view as to where such a community might go next. read more

How Does It Feel? Podcasting
http://www.stormcock.net/node/656
I announced a new series of podcasts back in the summer and I've published 18 episodes so far. The original idea was just to provide another distribution method for the live house concert that I broadcast weekly for the past year or so. So it's just me and my guitar, not much chat or conversation, and I try to feature my own compositions as a matter of course, with the covers creeping in as and when I feel like it.read more

Andy Roberts Podcast - Launches July 6th
http://www.stormcock.net/node/646
After nearly a year of doing a live streaming Andy Roberts music show on ustream I decided to turn it into a podcast as well, which means it gets recorded and made available as an audio file that can be played or subscribed to in iTunes. My version of podcasting is quite different to many others these days, it's raw and unedited, just a few original songs and introductions, no studio tracks usually, or interviews.read more

Adrian Nation Sat 24th July, Romford
http://www.stormcock.net/node/637
I've just had confirmation of a gig on Saturday 24th July at Romford with Adrian Nation, the rapidly emerging acoustic guitar virtuoso from Essex. I'm excited by this because I've been a big fan of Adrian Nation since seeing him play a few songs live recently, and because I'll be getting the opportunity to be the support act on the night, so it's the next Andy Roberts gig too.read more

The Magnificent G-20 | Storm The Banks
http://www.stormcock.net/node/570
I've just noticed that the esteemed gathering of world finance ministers, a pow-wow to rescue the western world for finance capitalism, is taking place next month in my own London Borough of Newham. This means the world community of loosely aligned anti-capitalist protestors will be out to make themselves heard as well.

Highway Blues
http://www.stormcock.net/node/554
In my mellowing years I'm finding I play a lot more of the quieter more melodic songs, and less of the angst ridden miserable ones. But every now and again it seems necessary to blast something out with a bit more oomph to it. Highway Blues is just about the best song in this category, so powerful. Now I've changed the chords I use so it doesn't hurt my fingers any more, but I well remember bashing this out on an Eros 12string at Gare St Lazare every morning using all bar chords in the shape of E major.read more

When an Old Cricketer leaves the crease
http://www.stormcock.net/node/522
I usually perform mostly my own Andy Roberts music but last night I felt like doing a short tribute to Roy Harper at the Havering folk club, where I do my thing on Wednesdays. "I'll see you again" went down well I think, but I was surprised that there was such little recognition of the name Roy Harper, even though this is an audience mostly of my own generation and slightly older. One person knew him well and asked me if I knew the one that goes &qread;more
