Noble Nomad

Dear Emily Eavis, perhaps you'd like The Pencil Sharks to perform Noble Nomad at Glasto 2013...

A year ago tomorrow (21st August 2011) I had one song, Italian Widow, I thought this song was pretty good and it had only taken me half a day or so to write and record.... I then hatched a plan...

A nice simple easy plan.... Play Glastonbury

Hmm I wonder, if I write and record a brand new, original song every week until Glastonbury 2013 perhaps someone will let me play!?

Foolish, naive, nobber, whichever way, I have now completed an entire year, 52 songs in 52 weeks and will keep doing this until someone lets me onto a stage at Glasto...2013? 2014? 2015? I’ll keep writing GOD DAMN IT!!!

Anyway, if you want to bask in the glorious(??) sounds of the past year then please click on the months, years and song titles on the right of the screen, 52 songs (2 with vids) await you (and counting)

This week however, is Noble Nomad...

Nice little play around with some synths this week, my guitar is so filthy and needs some new strings, so we have some electronic sounds. beep beep beeeeeeeeep... MisterMasterMan
