1) Birdeatsbaby – Incitatus Brighton based dark cabaret outfit Birdeatsbaby have just released this BRILLIANT new video, and like the last video for “Feast Of Hammers” it’s deliciously spooky. And makes me scared of bands… “Feast Of Hammers” – the album – is released on February 20th and I’m supporting them at their London launch...

Click to see the rest of this week’s photos 1) Grace Petrie A wonderfully inspiring songwriter and performer I met at last weekend’s Midwinter Picnic 4. She makes music that really gets you in the gut, and her rousing lyrics are still echoing around my head a week on. I should have heard of her...

Chris’ 2011 Edinburgh Festival show “Disobedience: Chris T-T Sings A.A. Milne” was one of the musical highlights of...

punx-pacha-apollo + gig alert + video! :::

Another busy busy week. I spent a very enjoyable day in the studio on Wednesday with Hal working on a potential track for the new Young Punx album, and it looks like some more awesome Han Hoogebrugge videos are going to be made soon – watch this space. I also get to go to Ibiza next month to sing at Pacha – it’s going to be amazing!

Thursday saw the first live music night at The Apollo and was an absolute triumph for the organisers. Brilliant musicians + a big friendly crowd = a fine time had by all. My lovely friend Lobelia was on top looping form as always and kindly invited me to join her in singing the gorgeous “The Sound Of A Breaking Heart”. Video to follow, and you can see photos here.

After my first taste of the Live At The Apollo stage I’ll be performing a set there of my very own tomorrow night as part of the Sunday solo night. I’m on at around 9pm and other acts include The Sneezy Ts, Stephen Evens, Rob Moore and Paul Glass. I do hope not to be the only girl, but I’m sure the boys will all be great – I’m really looking forward to it. Warning – I might play battle ukulele.

In more dance music related news – the song Hal and I co-wrote with Redroche has just been signed by Ministry of Sound in Australia – excellent news! I’ll let you know more when it’s available to buy, but until then check out this video of us creating the track:

Back to planning my adventure travelling around Japan next month – any suggestions for must-see places? Am currently thinking Tokyo – Kyoto – Nara – Osaka – Mount Koya – Osaka – Tokyo. I can’t get a Japan Rail Pass because I’ll be there with a work visa…dammit!
