			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi!</p>
<p>So &#8211; just a quick update really on how the recording has been going for the new album.  So far so good&#8230;.!  We&#8217;ve all had a lot of fun in the studio and at the moment we have the basics of 9 of the songs done.  I am still working on the vocal and guitar tracks and have a lot of work to do mixing and doing overdubs before we are even close to finishing!  I think maybe another couple of days recording with the main band should finish off the basics, then I will bring in percussion and horns to go on top of some songs.  Backing vocals will then go on, then final mixing and mastering!</p>
<p>As you will probably know by now the tentative release date is 1st October, I don&#8217;t really have a working title yet but I will need to think of one soon because promotional copies will be sent out in July!  I&#8217;m also planning the first single release (my first official single!) either July or August, still to be decided, and I have got the perfect track in mind, it&#8217;s a summery surfy tune that will have you all smiling <img src='http://www.bigboybloater.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ll update here as often as I can but please do join us on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thebigboybloaterpage" target="_blank">FACEBOOK</a> if you can or sign up to the <a href="http://eepurl.com/EAsn" target="_blank">MAILING LIST</a> to get the news direct!</p>
<p>Cheers folks!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m going to be chatting on the Jo Whiley show on BBC Radio 2 on Monday 19th March!  The fab Craig Charles is sitting in for Jo for a week and has asked if I will come on and have a chat on the phone with him live from my show at the Norman Knight in Whichford.  I&#8217;ll be chatting to him around 8.15pm so tune in live if you can &#8211; if not you can catch up for a week afterwards on iPlayer.  He&#8217;ll also be spinning a tune from the album &#8211; YAY!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey!</p>
<p>So a quick update &#8211; the tour has been fantastic, met lots of great new people, caught up with lots of old fans and had a blast!  Food poisoning, snow, punk supports, the price of diesel and a few other things tried to kill us off BUT WE SURVIVED! hahahaaa</p>
<p>So &#8211; off to Spain tomorrow to headline a small R&amp;B Festival, back Sunday then next week (Weds 7th) the last official tour gig which is at the Borderline in London.  Really looking forward to the show, I know people are coming from all over for it and it promises to be a total blast.</p>
<p>Had an interesting conversation this week about a new Blues magazine from a major publisher that is launching soon &#8211; they have asked if they can do a double page feature on me &#8211; really excited about doing it, should be a great article!  I&#8217;ll keep you posted!</p>
<p>And lastly we have some great festival enquiries coming in &#8211; I can&#8217;t put them all on the gigs page yet as we have to keep to their announcement schedules but I am really looking forward to them all!   Once the festival season is over we have plans for another UK tour around Sept/Oct time so please do sign up to the mailing list (all over the website!) and we can send you the news directly!</p>
<p>Thanks for all your support folks, I&#8217;m off now to pack my bag for Spain and get some inspiration for some more songs&#8230;.</p>
<p>CHEERS!  BBB x</p>
