Just before we arrive we get done by the motorway patrol people – I don’t think they’re police, but I’m not sure. (I didn’t…

    I’ve grown tired of the weekly post of tweets that I’ve had automated for a while, so I’ve stopped it.  It stopped working properly a while ago anyway.  I have a few bits and pieces to write about our Eastern European travels.  I’ll be posting them over the next week, but first I want to…

  • Urban Fog, London … and other stories

    We’ve had a busy few months here at Tiger Corp. We’ve completed a tour of Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia, topped it off with some shows in London, and also somehow managed to fit in a week in Paris and moving house. (I had a hard time finding wifi on the road, so my tour…

  • East is East-ish

    I’ve taken a long break from blogging, but I’m back. Reasons for neglecting the blog are varied… from studio fatigue to just general fatigue, from moving house to moving frames of mind. Long story short, I’m going to be a little more active on the blogging front. I may stray from the point now and…
