Playing 'live' (or not, as the case may be).





















Over the past few months, I've had quite a few emails asking me to play live. I thought that I'd address this briefly on the blog and maybe add it to some kind of FAQ in the future.

The short answer is: I don't actually play live. I don't DJ, either. Why not? Well, it's just not my thing - I don't enjoy it. Plus I'd rather spend my time creating something new for everyone to hear, rather than reproducing stuff I've already done.

So, if you have contacted me about doing a live gig, thanks for thinking of asking me, I'm genuinely flattered. Hopefully this will go some way to explaining the situation, though.

  1. can we have a new series of Cafe Kaput podcasts instead? Your previous five are worn out round our house...

  2. Hey Gareth,

    Not sure if that was a typo there, but there were actually 6 podcasts:

    The link doesn't work anymore (Sendspace was never the best) but I might try and rehost the podcasts somewhere, when I get time.

  3. Thanks! It was a typo - I have all 6. They were very enjoyable. Here's our modest effort if you ever stuck for a radio show...

  4. Will give it a listen! Thanks Gareth.

    I'm not ruling out doing another series of podcasts, but I need to find the time. Really enjoyed doing the series though.
