Colin Gillman: A RTYD Case Study #5: 'The second coming' or 'Robert Ludlum vs Facebook'


Because my band Pocket Rocket has been in the studio in the last few days and I've had various other bits and bobs on my plate, I have been a bit lax in reporting on Colin progress recently. Sorry about that - but it's all good news. Since his renunciation of all things social-networky he has had a very promising acoustic rehearsal with guitarist and drummer Roy Phillips, as well as, finished a Robert Ludlum hardback he picked up for 10pence.

Roy and Colin worked through a number of Colin's songs at a rehearsal room in Perivale called Loz Vegas Soundhouse, and the results have inspired Colin no end, and renewed his confidence. As I may have mentioned before, they plan to use the RTYD Libertine gigs, to work up new songs and ideas as an acoustic guitar duo.

The book was good too, apparently.

Colin has also been in contact with guitarist Marty from East Grinstead (?), who seems very keen, after a period of telephone silence. Colin has booked a series of rehearsals at Airplay Studios and is planning to get together with Roy, who will be playing drums in the band, Marty and a bass player (I can't remember which one, now?) on the 21st September.

All good news and Colin is suitably psyched. So psyched, he's only back on Facebook!
