A Thank You

I’d like to extend a big thank you to The Lovely Job and in particular Colin from Tone Puppets for having me down on Friday for my guest appearance. It was a thoroughly enjoyable night with all bands performing well, in particular Cold Shoulder and Tone Puppets both of whom drew the biggest crowds of the night and both of whom rocked it. It was a pleasure to be given the opportunity to play an eclectic array of tunes that have been staples in my CD/MP3 collection for years in addition to some of the fresh stuff that I have discovered since beginning this blog. It was great to be able to play Jessie Ware & Sampha’s Valentine and the Jamie XX remix of Adele (both of which have featured in previous TRM Recommends features) to a receptive and sizeable crowd. Gratitude also needs to be extended to the sound engineer from The Zanzibar who did an exceptionally good job with all the bands and with myself.

There has been talk about another The Real Mikaél guest appearance at The Lovely Job, though no date has been confirmed. It is something I am looking forward to immensely and will continue to scour the internet for exciting new music for both the blog and to unleash next time I am handed the reigns of The Lovely Job.

Tone Puppets, the instigators of The Lovely Job are about to embark on a series of road trips to play for a variety of indie nights around the country, the first of which sees Tone Puppets hit the capital for The London Job. A return coach trip has been organised for the event on Saturday 4th June 2011 and it priced at £24 which includes entry into the event. Further information is available on the Facebook event page. If there is any questions regarding this event I can ensure they are directed to the organisers so drop me a line on Twitter @therealmikael if so.



Note: Coming soon to the blog: March album reviews featuring Jamie XX/Gil Scott Heron and Frank Ocean. Plus the blogs first artist feature with TRM Meets Gareth Cheshire.
