It's Comic Relief time again. To raise some money I was approached by the guys from the local music websiteshttp://www.mintsouth.com and http://www.southSCENE.net to write a song for everyone in the scene to record.
I spent a couple of weeks scratching my head, writing down ideas...it was a doo-wop song at one point...and went through some basslines lined up for the new Toupe tracks and ended up writing a song called 'Belly Laughs (Food For Thought)'.
We recorded it on Monday at The Ranch Studios with over 30 musicians participating and contributing and yelling and laughing.
There's a facebook group for the whole thing here: http://www.facebook.com/gr
There is also a myspace at: http://www.myspace.com/the
I'm so happy with it, currently listening to the final mastered version and the feet don't stop moving! :)
The BBC are publishing photos from various parts of regions efforts to raise cash for Red Nose Day:http://www.bbc.co.uk/hamps
On top of that, TOUPE are playing a special single launch show at the last minute on friday at the SOUL CELLAR, Southampton. Support from The Ramblings, Dustproof, Jazica and my old pal Alex Dawson. Not to mention DJing from Routes To Roots after the show. It's FREE ENTRY until 11pm, but donations to COMIC RELIEF will be encouraged. After 11pm it's a minimum donation of £5.
Thank you to everyone for your support in this project - please tell everyone you know about the tune so that we can hopefully make a difference and make feet tap all over the place.
Thank you.
