Foy Vance: What now?

What now?

Wednesday, 25 February 2009

Nothing nothing... just saying hello, that's all!

Got a last minute gig with Chris Cornell the other night in The Scala. What a great crowd, half of me expected to get boo'd off stage for not using a death metal fuzz pedal but they were among the best crowds I've played you (that's you, for those of you who have now joined the mailing list)... made some new friends, all whom promise to be at the Dingwalls gig on 27th April, in which case it should be a great night! On top of that Iain Archer (great artist and co-writer of Run by Snow Patrol...apparently some other girl recorded it lately but I haven't heard much about that... aye right! it's everywhere!!) I don't know if he'll be doing the London date or not yet as he has his own gig in London on 1st April (I highly recommend you go), but he'll be with me on all the other dates, and we'll be doing some playing together to boot....

Also working on another few surprises along the way, so be there or be...I don't know...somewhere else I guess...

Just about to pop back into the studio to work on one of the EPs that I'll be releasing on the tour. I had a great idea for it, namely to record songs about Ella (my daughter), and I recorded one, then let David Holmes hear it when I was over working with him and he insisted it went on our record... I thought about saying no, but he's bigger than me and from the Ormeau Road so I didn't want to risk getting shoe-d! I caved, and I'm glad I did; it sounds better the we've done it together.

Anyway, I'd best get on with gettin' on x

Foy, just wanted to say cheers for a great set at Black Box last week, really enjoyed it, despite the rowdy mob at the bar, and the new songs were fantastic. I know you've your new album coming out but how soon are you and David Holmes planning on releasing your joint effort after that? Cannae feckin wait fir it! Looking forward to Spring & Airbrake too(May the Fourth be with you eh?)

Gaz

Looking forward to the new material Foy. Really hope a trip to the States might be on the cards some time soon!

Erin

Hope your new stuff with david H isint like the 5 ants demo! Not really the best...

Foy

Erin...that's very funny! no, the stuff with David isn't anything like that, the five ants thing on the myspace was the result of an hour messing about in a hotel in Glasgow... just a bit of fun. The sessions with David have produced music that I think is very special, and all songs that are a continuation of what I've been doing up to now, just a different sound scape..even still, you're aloud to not dig it ;) ...I make music because I have to, not to be appealing... however, if you like Hope, I'm sure you'll like the new stuff... that make you rest at ease? hope so, I would worry about you y'know....thanks for the compliments Rory! ni night peeps
