Tom on British Sea Power and ESP News

4th February: I’ve begun a recording of Always On My Mind, and I’ll hopefully have it up on m.space for yr delectation in the next coupla daze. Swweet. For all our French fans: we are in the process of confirming a slot at the annual Lyon In Rock festival, held at the Transbordeur Club on the 18th/19th of April. Check it out at Myspace For the first two they only had local bands on, but this year they are expanding to include international acts. Lush. There will hopefully be some more French shows around this one, and I will post them as soon as I have details.

2nd February: The Let’s Talk Rock Glossary, from Marine Research’s site. They were a big influence on the young White Brothers, late nineties. Great Band.

31st January: Had a fresh tour with Finnish Bee Power. Seems we quashed all the haters into submission with the devilish combo of Electric Soft Rock Power. Who could resist, really??!!! And Woody’s back’s back on form just in time for Europe. Perfect. I had a fucking great time, met some brilliant folk, as usual, and more importantly got an insight into how yet another band works, which I think may just be why I was put on this planet.

Anyway, we had a grand time, and like a lot of people have said, the tour could have all gone tits-up, so I’m happy to have helped save it from that particular fate. All the best for Europe and America, boys! It was also a pleasure to play with Make Model, who I thought played a blinder in Leeds. Very nice chaps from Glasgow. Check them out if you get the chance.

Had a rehearsal with the ‘List this afternoon. All good, just blowin’ away the cobwebs before Digital tomorrow!! Hopefully see you all down there. Oh, and just so you know, Mr. Stuart Flynn will be appearing in some guise or other at The Volks Tavern, on the 27th of Feb. Hock it in the diaree, and fuckin’ BE THERE! No excuse. TW x
