Greetings and welcome to One English Pound's One English Blog, I won't ramble on with formalities, we're recording this weekend with a chap called Whiskas and there's a lot to get done. I need to get new guitar strings, get spare guitar strings, write a verse and remember the other verses.
Other than that we were all but ready; bassist check, drummer check, keyboardist.. keyboardist? Ladies and gents.. I give you Jonny Swift.
Our enigmatic pianist has chosen the most opportune moment to go missing and, with our first demo recording just days away, we have literally no idea of his whereabouts.
Last week, Role Model had its debut on the airwaves, appearing on BBC Radio Leeds' Raw Talent show and, as far as gigs go, after recording we're playing at Accrington's Hope and Anchor on Wednesday February 17 then we have a week or so break to get our new song ready for a gig at Preston's Mad Ferret on Friday February 26.
Other than that, all announcements are on hold until we get the demo done and out into the big bad world. So, we could really do with finding our keyboardist.
Then, a phone call from the most unlikely of sources as "Swift work" flashes up on the Batphone.
I didn't mention earlier that, not only is Jonny enigmatic, he never ceases to spring a surprise against the odds. It turns out that while we fear he's spent the week buried under a pile of beer bottles and cigarette packets, he's actually been working every hour available to pay some way towards room rent and recording.
So, it's now midnight and we begin our ten-hour recording session at 10am tomorrow. Although, dragging Mr Swift to Leeds at eight in the morning is another potential stumbling block - we'll let you know how it goes.
