We just always seem to discover brilliant music when we’re out there. Our first trip was to the Emmaboda festival, which was our first jaunt off the island. We fell in love with the festival and discovered one of our favourite bands ever, Billie The Vision and the Dancers (check their shows early next year with Seasick Steve, it’ll probably be one of the best shows ever). Similarly, at this year’s SXSW, Gwenno was sitting there enjoying a band when an incredibly well dressed young lady approached her and gave her a CD. This was Marit Bergman. She said we should play some shows together in Europe. A few weeks later ‘ABC’ was synced up to a Fiat advert in Italy, France and Germany, so the European wing of the label wanted us to go on the road to capitalise on the free advertising. So there you go, we asked Marit to support, she did it (with her eight piece backing band) and without being vain, it was probably one of the best pop tours that could have happened. We all became close friends as we shared a love of classic pop and the belief that music can be serious, but should also be fun.

  • So This Is Christmas…
    So This Is Christmas….. vonpipmusicalexpress.wordpress.com /2007/12/14/so-this-is-christmas/ by Andy Von 12/14/2007 Pip VPME CHRISTMAS EDITION 2007 Without further ado lets kick off with one of the best Xmas songs to be released, it’s by an old friend of mine……yes all the way from the Wirral, it’s Halfman Half Biscuit “It’s Clichéd To Be Cynical At Christmas” By Halfman Half Biscuit Well, the baubles have been vigorously polished, the tree has been erected, the turkeys been roundly stuffed, and we await Santa’s heaving, bulging sack with bated breath. But meanwhile, away from the buxom snowcapped, twin peaked mountains of the magical “Land Of Double Entendre” and back in the real world, parents are preparing for their annual blitzkrieg in “Toys-R-Us” over this seasons “must have toy/gadget.” This is of course due to the fact that if little Johnny doesn’t get exactly what little Johnny has demanded, then the child who has yet to be acquainted with the word “no” or even the concept of compromise may well grow up to be psychologically damaged. (or worse, a solicitor ) It is against such a background that the corporate giants expertly manufacture this kind of hysteria. Huge advertising campaigns, involving the sort hyperbole Alistair Campbell could only dream of, are launched, which cleverly exploit parental guilt, the basic message being, if little Johnny doesn’t get this product you are a CRAP parent, a loathsome individual and you deserve to live a life of friendless, unremitting misery, forever haunted by your shameful neglect.
