Many thanks to all the ‘Cosmic Souls’ that gave us some great support yesterday. The day started poor due to Artsfests ridiculous ‘busking spot’ in Chamberlain Sq and ‘health & safety’ gone mad. We attempted to do our spot…but only played one song and packed up and left to go busking in our own right on the canal in Gas St…an inspired decision. A lovely half hours busking on the canal basin and £18 in the hat to get the beers in :-)…and got us right back in the mood for our live radio session.

B’ham Arts Festival preview
Nice mention from stalwart scribe of the West Midlands music scene for many years Mike Davies in his preview of this years Birmingham Arts Festival
Off the radar for far too long, Gary O’Dea’s Cosmic Souls (5pm, Waterstones) sees the Tipton singer-songwriter working with a new band, adding extra warmth to his cocktail of blues, country, soul and rock n’ roll. They’ll be performing material from new album Looking Forward By Thinking Back, a collection of reworked past material such as Slim Chance styled mandolin good time shuffle Sittin’ On Your Fence, the Van Morrison-like Way Back Home and, conjuring Martin Stephenson while referencing The Clash, My Sweet Rita.
