Seasonal Affective Disorder


Seasons greetings to all - I hope its warmer where you are than it is here, brrrrr!

Special thanks to everyone who came along and supported VP on the recent Oct/Nov tour, your engagement and encouragement is most welcome. Amy and I filmed a few of the shows, clips have been posted on youtube, some of them look pretty good. I have a couple of gigs coming up soon which really looking forward to at Colley Cantina in Norfolk Virginia USA on 28th December, there's a nice little interview re this show and other snippets in VEER MAGAZINE . I also play The Continental, South Meadow Lane, PRESTON Lancashire PR1 8JP on 19th January - I will be airing new songs at these shows.
I'm putting together songs for he next album, tentative recording plans are coming together for March 2011 - I'm just finishing off arrangements the lyrics. All the songs were recorded into the Iphone voice recorder in various places, the street, the shed, the garage, the garden, whenever the mood took me. I hope this sense of spontaneity can be replicated in the studio. I really excited to be in the writing zone again, it's far more comfortable than the promotion zone, ha.

The current album 'Other People Like Me' has received some good reviews, some of the best I've ever received, which is pleasing - it's available from the site store and via all the usual digital media including iTunes, Amazon et al. If you buy one via the shop I'll include a second album for free, just email me the preferred 2nd album. There has been some decent UK airplay, Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music should be singled out for his enthusiasm and support for the track 'A Vision' which he has championed relentlessly on his show. The WORD MAGAZINE CD Cover-mount track 'Artrockers' also boosted the albums profile and I received a lot feedback from WORD readers, so thanks if you were one of those connecting via WORD - all good.


The recording project with Bonehead is ongoing [several people have enquired], we'd had a little break but are due to recommence in January and I'll update everyone when we have something to put out. I guess we're looking at next summer but I will confirm as soon as I know.

best wishes and thanks as ever for the support

Vinny Peculiar
