CJ’s World

Friday, August 14th, 2009

So hi to you all… Been a crazy couple of weeks with Sonisphere, the Kerrang! awards and then our small trip to Germany.

Sonisphere was a strange one. We turned up around 5 pm and had a full 6 hours of press, which is good but when you’re on stage at 12.15AM not the best of plans. Anyway we all managed to stay up and the show was a little strange. We tried out some new amps and they did not quite work according to plan, hence our major sound problems. Next time we will try out new gear in rehearsals and not at a major festival. Problems aside I really enjoyed the gig and the tent seemed to be rocking.

Swedish Magic

Friday, August 14th, 2009

So, after a very long day travelling we finally arrive at our destination, a dreamlike country retreat straight out of a Swedish kids book.

After feeding and bathing Taylor, and settling into our accommodation, I venture into a guest house with an array of seasoned musicians jamming extremely professional quality cover songs, where I’m lead to a microphone to sing Rocking In The Free World.

Dreams Come True

“Dreams come true, say they do, say they do, say they do” Maria McKee

After a criminally insufficient amount of sleep (thanx Taylor, boy am I gonna keep YOU up when you get older) we are ready to leave for Sweden, where I will perform with the greatest living female vocalist and writer on Gods earth, Maria McKee.

It’s All About The Fans

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

I used to like being reclusive. I wanted people to think that I lived in a netherworld of darkened rooms peppered by candlelight and occupied by shady Keith Richards types.

The truth is I wake up and I change a dirty nappy/diaper before I get to urinate. I feed my baby his breakfast and when he’s done I get my coffee. I take him to nursery then I come back fully intending to sleep a few hours, but I hit the ‘safari’ option and my email world begins.

Just testing to see if this blog thing is working in a healthy fashion befitting the imminent interest of your four rock protagonists.

Ginger Says – My Old Friend The Clock

Monday, February 6th, 2006

Just got myself re-domesticated back in glorious Newcastle, right on the Tyne. I can even walk to the match from here, bliss, and in the process got myself back online, after what seems months (actually, it was) of blissfully computer free activity. Try it sometimes. It’s great! So I decided to visit my ‘myspace’ page […]

Ginger Says – Valor Del Corazon

Sunday, May 22nd, 2005

My life turned into shit on an aeroplane heading for the sunny Philippines at the end of 2004, a holiday my family would take every Christmas – we’d visit family members, hang out on beaches, eat great food and chill out further than we thought possible. The trip began fairly smoothly. On the plane I […]
