After around ten years, due to being unable to come back the same night, I went back to Oxford for a night out.  Chris Oakes, who has been organising gigs in and around the Oxfordshire area for about 2 years, took his Strummer Room Project to Oxford, and held his first band night at the Jericho Tavern. I had never been there before, very nice venue. Its looks like a polish restraunt from the outside looking in. I like the way the place is laid out. The band area is upstairs so we got a beer and went through the maze of staircases Silverspark Matt and Carley have been performing Acoustic sessions around the counties through the Winter months.

/Over the past few years, i have grown to like video editing. I record a lot of video, mainly vlogs, reviews and a weekly preview for my live radio shows. I recently changed the format of the weekly episode to a "montage" of music video clips. Based on my first omontage, which features a segment of the band, The Shapes, i got asked by the lead singer to produce a music video promo Its called, Tom Petty 1980. This is the one                                                         Below the video the singer saw. I thought, Youtube is visual, It would be better to see more bands, in represented visually This took around 8 hours to complete. This includes finding the footage. The footage was public domain and use of one of the bands live segments Not long after this i was talking to another band about video promos. From this i got anot...
