SO GOODBYE TO 2011<br />
BUT WHAT WILL 2012<br />
HAVE IN STORE<br />
What a year 2011 turned out to be!!<br />
There cannot be many that will be sad to<br />
see it gone!!<br />
With the Scrumpy now into eight years,<br />
this will be a very sparse January for<br />
gigs going by the lack of, that we have<br />
received!<br />
Most venues will be looking back to<br />
January 2011, then taking into account<br />
the business they did that month and<br />
then what they did over the year. So<br />
with the lack of gigs, a lot of venues<br />
have decided to cut back or not bother,<br />
and who can blame them<br />
The truth is there are not that many<br />
areas of life that have not been effected<br />
by this economic climate, in some form<br />
or other it is effecting all of us. The good<br />
thing is that human beings are resourceful<br />
and adaptable, though it can<br />
take some longer to adapt than others.<br />
Will the economic climate be another<br />
nail in the coffin for live music No, I am<br />
convinced it will adapt, and change to<br />
the climate, so support where you can<br />
and enjoy.............<br />

We thought that this photo of a cat<br />
curled up as they do, a sleep in<br />
someone’s guitar case was rather<br />
sweet!! We at The Scrumpy have no<br />
idea who’s case this is or cat for that<br />
matter, it was sent in an e-mail of an<br />
assortment of cats in boxes!!<br />

An 11 year old boy was doing his violin practice<br />
at home and the torturous noise was making<br />
the dog howl! Upstairs, the boy’s father<br />
was trying to work on the computer. After<br />
putting up with the combined racket of violin<br />
and dog for 20 minutes, the father eventually<br />
called out: “Jason, can’t you play something<br />

IT’S PLAN B FOR<br />
SWANS IN FLIGHT<br />
One of the UK’s hottest current songwriting<br />
teams, (famed for their work<br />
with chart sensation, Plan B, and including<br />
Ivor Novello Award winning,<br />
Cassell, AKA ‘The BeatMaker’), have<br />
confirmed they will be producing the<br />
British rock band, ‘Swans In Flight’, and<br />
their forth coming release due out<br />
Spring 2012. In the producers chair at<br />
John Delf’s, ‘Edge Studios’, Cassell will<br />
be joined by Guild Award winning fellow<br />
Plan B member, Eric Appapoulay.<br />
“I recently got the chance to hear the<br />
song, “123”, taken from the Swans In<br />
Flight’s self penned ‘acoustic’ album<br />
and liked what I heard. I shared it with<br />
the rest of my Sony Publishing/Plan B<br />
songwriting team and we all agreed this<br />
was something we really wanted to do.<br />
I’m excited to be involved with this<br />
band,” states Cassell who is also a<br />
member of, “The Streets”.<br />
Swans In Flight’s studio alliance with<br />
Cassell and the Plan B team is set to<br />
produce a fascinating amalgam of<br />
styles and textures which will draw on<br />
<strong>JANUARY</strong> 2012 6<br />
vinyl at revolver<br />
both the classic and the new. Swans In<br />
Flight frontman Hugo Montgomery<br />
Swan, revealed that both he and Cassell<br />
share a common love for melody,<br />
“Above all, everyone loves a good tune<br />
and it doesn’t matter whether, you’re<br />
talking Metal or Rap - everyone’s ears<br />
are tuned to the ‘hook’. Therefore, Cassell<br />
and I and all the guys involved in<br />
this project, will be going for the song<br />
everytime......”<br />
Swans in Flight are currently being<br />
booked to perform main stage festival<br />
performances for 2012 plus a select<br />
number of theatre shows next March<br />
that will feature Metal Funk bassist, T M<br />
Stevens, (Joe Cocker, James Brown,<br />
Steve Vai), in the band’s line-up.<br />

STEVE DARRINGTON<br />
STEVE DARRINGTON and <strong>THE</strong><br />
SWANAGE BLUES FESTIVALS<br />
Thank God for real life characters! And<br />
people that have passion and care........<br />
Steve Darrington arrived in Swanage for<br />
a 2 day stay - and never left!! For those<br />
that have never been, Swanage is a<br />
delightful seaside town in Dorset on the<br />
south coast of England, not far from<br />
Poole and Bournemouth, with a picturesque<br />
bay, an award winning beach,<br />
with a nice climate when the weathers<br />
fine! Steve started the Swanage Blues<br />
in 2001 originally as a birthday party<br />
and it has since developed over the<br />
years into the biggest blues party on the<br />
south coast! Lucky for music lovers<br />
living in the area, the music events for a<br />
small resort are many. Now Steve<br />
organise’s two blues festivals which<br />
take place in March and October. There<br />
are 60 gigs of acoustic and electric<br />
<strong>JANUARY</strong> 2012 8<br />
blues based music in 20 indoor venues,<br />
admission is FREE to customers of the<br />
various pubs, restaurants and hotel<br />
bars that host the live music. People<br />
attending the events will be asked to<br />
contribute (donate generously) towards<br />
the festival by the collection team of<br />
volunteers, known as The Bucketeers!<br />
Considering this is a FREE festival with<br />
over 60 gigs, but no major sponsor and<br />
organised by one man in a wheelchair -<br />
that’s incredible, but to make it happen<br />
in the worst recession the country has<br />
ever seen is fantastic. For more information<br />

DID YOU KNOW THAT - ‘The Great Gig In The Sky’ - Pink Floyd<br />
This Empire Theatre recording from 16th November 1974 is hilarious because you can hear<br />
the bootlegger chatting to the guy next to him during the breaks between songs, then, when<br />
Floyd start a new number, getting rather cross saying, “No talking, I’m taping right now!”<br />
