On Tour With Amor – 2015
Following the success of our mini tour in August 2014, I’ll be hitting the road again with Jon Amor in a couple of weeks. This time we’ll be playing more gigs in the south of England, as well as a home town gig for both of us – Devizes for Jon, and Colchester for me. […]
This month I will mostly……
Apologies for being a bit quiet over here recently, but I’ve been working behind the scenes on mixing the full debut LaVendore Rogue album. We’ve assigned the expertise of Chris West, an experienced engineer/producer who has worked with the likes of Nick Cave, Richard Ashcroft and Status Quo to name but a few. As always, […]
It’s all go
As I write this latest blog entry, I’m surrounded by microphones, lyrics, chord charts and cups of tea. This is all down to the fact I’m embarking on my busiest period as a musician yet. Starting this weekend, I’ll be playing nine gigs in ten days with 4 different bands. To say I’m looking forward […]
LaVendore Rogue, Maryport Blues Festival, Saturday 26th July 2014
So, Maryport…it’s been a while. Saturday 26th July saw us head up to Maryport in Cumbria for the first time since we played there with Hokie Joint 3 years ago. A lot has changed for both the festival and ourselves since the day we warmed the crowd up for Canned Heat and Robert Cray, then were […]
Tim Aves & Wolfpack @ Ealing Blues Festival
Following on from LaVendore Rogue’s gig at Chiddfest on Saturday, it was a quick get-up-and-go on Sunday. After a healthy breakfast (I’m sure) I hit the road. Arrived in Ealing at 3pm after a surprisingly smooth ride into London, I began unloading the gear (3 trips from the road to the venue with a sack […]
LaVendore Rogue @ Bures Music Festival
So…Bures Music Festival has been like a home to me for the last 3 years – In 2012 I played there with Hokie Joint, and was interviewed for BBC regional news. 2013 I performed with The Struck Bats (Cupsey , Tank and myself), which included a guest spot from JoJo Burgess, and a debut of […]
Joel Fisk & Jon Amor Electro Acoustic Duo
It is a great pleasure to announce I’ll be doing some gigs with the fantastic Jon Amor in August. I’ve known Jon for a couple of years, with our paths crossing at various gigs on the Blues circuit, as well as seeing him many times with The Hoax. Having jammed with Jon and Ian Siegal […]
Blues On The Farm – 2014
It’s been a while since JoJo, Cupsey and I have done a big festival on the Blues scene. Not since the days of Hokie Joint have we been able to drink, eat and sleep for free, so I was greatly looking forward to Blues On The Farm near Chichester. We made a fleeting visit during […]
