Me at an open mic, this Sunday (this time)!
Should be playing the set I was meant to play last Sunday before the scheduling snafu reared up. However, I have been furiously working on songs this week, so it might be two different (NEW) songs. I’m not sure yet but rehearsing the hell out of everything.
Blue Blazer (Bread Street, off Lothian Road), 8pm, Sunday 1st April (but after midday, so there’d better be no pranks afoot).

General blog update thing
I know I almost exclusively use this as a reblogging service, but I will post some writing and actual news soon. I am working on music and and tentatively putting an album together based on songs I need to finish and then play everywhere.

Sunday 11th March: Christopher Willatt (Hosted by...
thelisteningroom:
It’s hard to describe Christopher Willatt’s music, the general response is usually along the lines of - “Oh I don’t know; bluesy, folky, reggae-y, funky, gypsy, maybe a bit of pop too?” One thing’s for sure and that’s that he hits his guitar hard, writes lyrics worth listening to, and will probably leave you with a new favourite song.
I’m going along to this tonight!...
