It is competition time. We haven't had one for a while so here we go. As you will know by now, the BY MYSELF album is completed and on sale. It is a collection of songs performed through out 2011 and includes songs from Fair Days Pay For A Fair Days Work gigs as well as some performances from public gigs.
It was my intention to capture the atmosphere of the shows as simply as possible and so the audio was all recorded on a small stereo digital recorder and is virtually unprocessed in it's final form. It is as real as it gets.

The above photo was taken by Dave Randell at Glastonbury 2011.
All you have to do is leave an alternative caption for the photo as a comment on here to enter the competition for a signed copy of the album. The usual rules apply so you can make as many entries as you like under different names.
The winning caption will be chosen on Thursday the 15th December.
There will be two albums on offer so the best two captions will get a prize.
If the winners will send mail address details to ebbman@btinternet.com , when the winning entries are announced on here, the albums will be posted to them.

  32. 'Do you think the onstage times will run pretty much as they say on the itinery?'


    'Well, with festivals it's quite difficult to predict. Sometimes they can run late, and sometimes they can even run early. It's all down to how many unforseen circumstanses the festival organisers are faced with. So in the light of that Luke, I'm very reluctant to pass any comment that would sufficiently satisfy your need for a definite answer there.'

    'Oh right. Thanks for that dad.'

    'That's ok son.'
