Charles Sellers

So today i’ve just arrived home from playing the coldest gig EVER with Dan Burnett. When i say cold i mean colder than when i was playing outside in the Alp’s on New Years Day!!!

Unfortunately due to the wet weather not many people turned up and the rest of the gig with Kasiuss and Idle Maestro was cancelled.

Huge crowd at the Knaresborough Spring Fayre

Photos and text by Sharon van Zelst:
Dan Burnett and Charles Sellers epitomise all that is true of professional musicians. Today they sat in an almost empty market square and played to a massive audience of aprox six persons . Their hands just about frozen to their instruments while freezing their proverbial nuts off. Cars were driven in front of the stage and the road sweeper added to the atmosphere – these distractions were met with nothing but good humour and they never missed a beat. If ever you are given the chance to go and see these boys play do it – hats off to you boys -a great show of professionalism – fab sounds and I would like you to know that I had fun and enjoyed your music , esp Little wing. x

Thank to those that braved the weather and came down to support us, despite the conditions we played in and not being able to feel our fingers we had a good time! I think this quote about sums up our feelings for this gig!

Don’t find fault, find a remedy – Henry Ford

It has just been confirmed that i will be playing at the Knaresborough Spring Fayre on 28th April.

The afternoon starts at 4:30 and i will be playing two sets, one with talented blues pianist Dan Burnett and the second with original three-piece blues rock band Idle Maestro

There will also be music from Kasiuss as well as a range of events and attraction. There will be a market selling local goods and produce, as well as other street entertainment.

In Knaresborough’s castle grounds, there will be fun for all the family with fairground rides, a bouncy castle and much more.

For more information check out the Knaresborough Spring Fayre website.

This month i have started rehearsing with a new function band, I will be playing guitar and possibly doing some backing vocals (we shall see on that one…)

Until we have something ready to post online i don’t want to put up too much information, but we will be a female fronted five piece with some great funk on rock!

All i need now is buy that Zendrive i’ve always wanted!!!

I haven’t posted much on here since i’ve been up and running and for that i do apologise…

The last few weeks have been very hectic with rehearsals, gigs and finally sorting a proper bass rig (although it does need a little bit of TLC to bring it up to scratch).

This week i’ve one last gig on Friday night before heading away for a week for a family holiday (its been far too long…) The plan on my return is to have proper updates / photos and inside info on the video shoot we’re planning with Idle Maestro.

As i put in my last post 2012 promises to be a busy year.

Happy New Year – 2012 promises to bring bigger and better things including a new album from Idle Maestro!

We have postponed our gig at The Club until January so that our friends Kasiuss can come out to play!

If your around on Friday 25 November Kasiuss will be playing acoustically for Monteys Birthday Bash, We are headlining with a few new tunes!

I would like to give a big thank you to everyone that came down to our gig at the Blues Bar supporting Pips.

We played a blinding gig and where interviewed by Jenny Eells from BBC Introducing (York & North Yorkshire).

The interview is going to be broadcast on Saturday 18th November on BBC Radio York with some clips of us playing live!

Unfortunately we have been told today that the Dave Arcari gig has been cancelled. Hopefully we will get the chance to play with Dave in the future as we where really looking forward to Sunday!

A brilliant man without whom music production and digital distribution would not be as simple or as accessible.

A great man and a great inspiration.

“Stay hungry, stay foolish.” – Steve Jobs mantra adopted from the final Whole Earth Catalog.

Had a great gig last night at The Alexandra in Harrogate with Al & Max.
