HAPPINESS

Happiness then for those of you that follow the blog is this months theme and my post will be brimming over with all the most scrumptious delights I have to share from the cockpit of the glorious Camden Calling mother ship. True the ship resembles a battered old canoe, true I have 15 people balanced against health and safety directive on the back, and only too true that the oars are on loan from a bigger fish that would quite like them back. However the theme has been dictated by apathy and a little journey through the word happiness is where we are going. But not until I have posted this link and asked you all to give this months radio show a listen. I would also like to thank Heavy Load, Lemos & Crane and John Hegley for their contributions to the show.

H = having won a little award in recognition for Camden Calling being an innovative and interesting project tackling social issues in a fairly unique way. We are now it seems a FACE OF 2012. I believe that means one to watch out for.

A = a little road trip to Wales to play the Watusi festival on the 3rd September. This is about the most exciting way I can think of to end our summer. Thanks so much to the organisers for booking Ben is a Dark Horse & Dekay & The D'Mans.

P = planning to be very rock and roll that weekend by heading back from the field in Wales in just enough time to host our residency at the Enterprise our hope is this is not a positively preposterous aim.

P = proud to announce a partnership with the wonderful folks at Camden Rock who have set up a weekly Sunday event to benefit Camden Calling. The mission is to create a festival type atmosphere in one of Camden Towns most legendary venues. The day's attractions include 2nd hand clothes, books, videos DVDs, as well as cakes and other goodies. All items are on sale for £1 or less with the profits donated to Camden Calling. Live music will be played and entry is FREE every Sunday. We kick off on September 11th

I = it is our birthday, and we would love you to come and celebrate 3 years of Camden Calling capers with us at the wonderful George Tavern in East London. The gig is FREE on the 16th Sept and we ask you to bring just yourself if possible in a ridiculous Hollywood costume but most importantly bring a smile.

N = new members joining Camden Calling and new tracks being recorded at Endell St Studios

E = earning some cash for Camden Calling last weekend at the SW4 festival

S = safe in the knowledge I am taking two days off next week.

S = superstar Chogaia does it again, pulling out some seriously scary stops for the filming of Violent Dreams. If you enjoyed her performance in last years Platform 6 video this one is something else.
