I have lots of influences and favorites. I was inspired by Michelle Shocked. I am in awe of Paulo Nutini. David Grey gets me every time. James Morrison turns my knees to jelly with his throaty passion. Florence and the machine is just that - a machine. Natalie Merchant has incredible timing and phrasing, I melt when I listen to her. Amy Mcdonald - rock chick of the century - its so rock and roll to be alone . John Mayer - perfectly lonely, I am convinced he wrote that for me. Anna Nalick, young talent. Eva Cassidy - pure perfection. Melody Gardot, sultry jazze. Dido can be so boring but I still have sand in my shoes and I just want to thank
Best moment has to be when I played with Josie C (check out her profile on streetjelly). We called ourselves Alice Band and played pub gigs and lots of sailing jollies. We also drank a lot of tequila. Memorable Alice Band moments - top one has t be when Josie fell clean off the stage mid song. Seconded by our tour bus to the farm for our housemates wedding. Too many stories to tell from that weekend alone.
I remember getting "signed up" by our first agent Rob and how I thought we were famous. And for a while we were. We had a blast.
I was singing I'm like a Bird (Nelly Furtado) at a pub with a large and rowdy audience. Somehow I fluffed up the words and instead of singing
I'm like a bird I'll only fly away
I dont know where my home is
I dont know where my soul is
I got them all mixed up and sang
I dont know where my HOLE is.
How I got through the rest of the song is beyond me.
Martin.
Just because.
