Catch up .. May 2012

Not much to write about at the moment except ..

The Sk2 and Sk1 have really changed the way I approach gigs and studio sessions.
They will never take the place of the B-3 but for a 2 manual real Hammond that fits under your arm the compromise is well worth its few shortcomings.

Like I mentioned I will continue to love and use the New B -3 for major shows and hopefully should be on the road fr a few gigs quite soon.

I am currently negotiating various offers from overseas so will keep you posted.

Had a great Frankfurt MusikMesse performing in the Hammond Demo both as their official artiste once again.
This time had the company of another musician 'Erwin Heutink' so it was great to split the sets between us in our quite different styles of Hammond playing.

I did a few prop shows for hammond UK the other weekend which went great, mainly focusing on the Sk's so thanks to all I met during that roadshow.

Other than that, I am working hard in my spare time writing and composing some of my own material and project work which hopefully I will complete by late summer and maybe do a couple of live shows to launch it along side some downloadable audio and video.

Cheers for now.. Malc
