Mr Lemonjohn has just put a little compilation mix together on his blog and I am pretty chuffed he chose my track ‘These Days’ to start it off…

It also includes a track of Maddies which I recorded at The Blue Door too. Happy days.

‘Only The Missile’ has been reviewed in the latest edition of Fatea Magazine, appearing alongside another review for good friend of mine Sarah MacDougall who has been staying with me whilst on tour here from Canada, which made me happy. You can read it below or on their site alongside all the others here - http://www.fatea-records.co.uk/magazine/releases.html.

“There are still people that believe that songs have power, that pens, words, notes and guitars are mightier than the sword, that people still take the time to listen. Robin Grey is just such a person.

In “Only The Missile”, he’s put together a set of ten songs that reflect how society can be viewed and the observation of the life that goes on around him. It’s more personal than some, less political with a big p, but none-the-less sharp and cutting. “The Last Time I Saw David” looks at faith and it’s relationship with religion and how it impacts the individual. It’s deep, but not hard going.”

The good people at Creative Commons tweeted ‘Only The Missile’ as their album of the week - happy days…

On friday I had the best gig of my life, hands down. Nice to know after all these years and all these venues there are still gems to be discovered.

The venue is called The Institute and is in a old village in Essex called Kelvedon. The website can be found here - http://www.liveattheinstitute.co.uk/

Barbara and I were supporting Dan Raza, who incidentally got his first gig at the venue when I had to pull out due to illness last summer. He rocked their world so much they invited him back to headline with me as support.
