Blimey! I go away on tour for a month, and all hell breaks loose on LD - what was all that about? Anyway, I'm back after a loopalicious month of gigs opening for Level 42 (to a largely virgin loop audience), and some shows with Michael Manring and David Friesen, as well as some clinics in between... what's most startling, in light of some of the discussions in recent times is just how many people have no idea about real time looping, and are totally with it as soon as they hear it and have it explained (I did a 30 second 'it's not on CD, it's me playing and looping' schpeil each night to explain what was going on') - loads of emails from people wanting to know about looping devices/when the new EDPs will be around... loads of questions out by the merch stand each night... Looping can certainly capture the imagination of the listening public, and does have mass market appeal, if the music that's being looped works for them. No question... I've played to about 35,000 people in the last month, sold a shed load of CDs, and will hopefully get to do it all again next year when the second leg of the tour takes off... taking over the world, one loop at a time... :o) Have a look at the guestbook on my site for more reviews, should you be interested... New CD out now (released about three weeks ago) - haven't had time to do any promo, but it's already outsold the last one... :o) CC ordering via the website - CD's called Not Dancing For Chicken - thanks to everyone who's already bought it... I'll be over in California in Jan/Feb, playing with Andre, Rick and some others, as well as doing some solo stuff, so hope to catch up with lots of you then... Dates are still being finalised - suggestions for venues/other places a short flight away from CA that can be investigated, all welcome... big love and loops... (sorry if this sounds like a newsletter, I'm knackered from all the gigging and driving and am not yet communicating on all cylinders... :o) Steve www.steve-lawson.co.uk
