Looks like I will be doing a tour of the Fridays starting with this one (10 October) in The Marlborough Arms, Camden. Then I’ll be going back to basics in the 12 Bar Club the following Friday (17 October) and then playing at the second London Placard Headphone Festival (24 October) . For more info check out my gigs section. Come to the 12 Bar Club gig on the 17th if you can. It’ll be me doing what I do best, though I haven’t quite worked out what that is nor what I will be doing.

We are playing in Nambucca, 596 Holloway Road, London, N76LB tomorrow. On at 8.45. Come on down if you are in town. No two Eggtimer gigs are the same. No two Eggtimer songs are the same. All our songs rock though. Don’t believe me? Ok, fair enough.

The genius thing about playing a gig on Valentine’s Day is that it’s already genius. The sad thing is that only lonely saddos come and see you play. Well Kev and I have decided to play the songs from our Valentine’s Day gigs of this year and last year in what would be The Best Of The Valentine’s which will actually be the worst of the music of both shows.

We put in so much work for both shows that we are putting none in to this one. Still we are overrehearsed for it. Come on down. You will laugh your wet pants off.

Songs For Single Lovers – For Single Lovers Only: Double Take!

February 4th, 2008 § Leave a Comment

After the success of staging last year’s one-off Valentine’s Day special Cormac Heron and Kevin Hylands make a return to the 12 Bar Club with a brand new set tailor-made for the most romantic day of 2008.

Last year Cormac Heron – the only person ever to have performed at the 12 Bar on stilts – created beautiful moments with his singing of Tom Waits’ ‘Fish & Bird’ whilst Kevin Hylands performed a touching rendition of Nick Cave’s ‘Straight To You’. Then together the two Irish lads delivered moving versions of songs as diverse as ‘Plaisir D’Amour’, ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?’ and ’I Dunno Who You Are Oh Baby But You’re Everything I’m Dreaming Of I Dunno Who You Are But You’re A Real Dead Ringer For Love A Real Dead Ringer For Love’.
Come on down then and make your Valentine’s Day as beautiful as the world will allow by bringing that loved one for a special night that you will try to remember. (And it doesn’t matter what that special one looks like because for all you know you could be the ugly one in the relationship).
Cormac will be on his electric banjo and bass with Kevin playing his acoustic and both of them singing with their mouths. Drawing from a rich repetoire of classic love songs from the likes of The Isley Brothers, David Bowie and Motorhead your dreams are guaranteed to be wet with tears of joy.

Special note: This will be Cormac’s last fully prepared performance until June. To find out more go ask him.

Eggtimer Live: Before

Originally uploaded by Cormac Heron

The calm before the chaos. Eggtimer this time featured:

Joe Moon – Vocals
Phil Phamous – Guitar
Jim Moon – Guitar
Cormac Heron – Bass
Ben – Drums

As with any Eggtimer gig you never know what you’re going to get. This was the first time the five of us had ever played before. Jim and Ben had only ever played about two songs each on different occasions.

Eggtimer Live: After

Last song report:

I unplugged one of the guitarists for playing a song I didn’t want to play. He walked off in a huff but then returned – note him in the corner. The singer was spinning about on the floor of the stage like a possessed maniac. I started standing on his belly. The other guitarist unplugged my bass. I gave the drummer the signal to cut it. End of gig.

Eggtimer Gig This Friday: 12 Bar Club @ 9pm

Eggtimer will be improvising their nonsense this Friday in the 12 Bar Club. Visit the gig section and print some info out for cheapo entry. Be warned this music will be fully improvised and loud. Yes. I’ll also be playing the 12 Bar on Valentine’s Day and that show will be very structured and with Kevin Hylands. Bring your lovers. It will be nice.

Where Am I?
