Please post links to your own Greenbelt blogs, videos & photos in the comments below…

Interview with singer/songwriter Martyn Joseph…

August 25th, 2008 | No Comments | Categories: Geek · the future of music · tips for musicians

Another lil’ interview, that brings together so many of my interests :) Martyn’s an amazing singer/songwriter, and has been running his own label for over a decade. He’s recently been opening for Ani DiFranco in the States, and has been through so many different parts to his career, from churchy-singer-dude in the 80s, to Sony-signed almost-pop-star, to political, social poetic acoustic troubadour. Here’s a really lovely interview with Martyn about all of those things :)

A new blog post and another QIK vid…

August 22nd, 2008 | No Comments | Categories: Geek · Random Catchup

It’s only friday afternoon, the Greenbelt site isn’t even open yet, and I’m already working like crazy.

I’ve been posting loads of videos at www.qik.com/solobasssteve (damn, I’m going to HAVE to get myself a Nokia N95 after I give this trial one back. It’s WAY to useful!) and have just written another post for Creative Choices, entitled Creative Copying - have a read, and feel free to comment there.

If you follow my twitter feed, whenever a link appears that says I’m Qiking, you can log in and chat with me on the live stream… please drop in and say hi!

Here’s another qik post from this morning -

I’m down at the Greenbelt festival this weekend, and will be streaming a lot of video, thanks to those lovely people at Wom World lending me, Lobelia, James Stewart, JennyBee and Mike Radcliffe a pile of video-compatible phones to stream from! Hurrah.

So head to www.qik.com/solobasssteve to follow the videos, and keep an eye on www.moblog.net/greenbelt for other blogged and aggregated content from all of us!

Here’s my first QIK from the festival…
