WaH-art

It was Mr Hendrix and the opening phrase to Voodoo child that gave the rest of us an idea what WaH-art really was about, so with some guitar effect policy relaxation, heres a bit of SHM WaH-art at the last gig. Thanks to the guys for laying down top bass and drums to paint this, a liitle exploration and a bum note in the mix too. Its the new end phrase to the Soul Connection studio track. Weve yet to capture this with some live production quality. One day, its gonna be the shivers!. Cheers SHM

Looking for Somebody - Peter Green actually

B.B. King has said, “Peter Green is the only man who ever made me sweat.”

The blues found him

On the left is Steve Byrne who you may know from a band called Tin Pan Alley. Steve played with us for a while and during this time he kindly donated one of his songs. Steve's still hittin em hard in a prog rock band called Also Eden. Good luck Steve! with this journey, I think they have even got gig in translvania!

The song he kindly donated to the SHM cause is called "The blues found me" and we gave it a run out at the Patriot gig. Thanks Steve, we really like playing it, especially the riff which just jumps out at you, hope you like our interpretation.

SHM Blues Rock the Patriot

It was a slightly nervous start, we hadn't played here before even though Sooty made us feel really welcome right from the moment we arrived, Thanks Sooty, especially for the after tour. But its amazing what throwing in the opening bars of Radar love can do to calm the nerves and warm the cockles of your valves. Here they are.

There is a great feel to this club, we were knackered the following day , Dave on drums was giving it some stick, he had the bruises to show for it. I think we suspected it was going to be a rockin night and by the time we hit "Get it hot" there really was no cooling down, well, everyone seemed to enjoy it. If you were there give us a shout with a comment below! Especially the guys how came special to see us, it would be great to hear from you. Another Blues rock moment when who appears but, Heather who works in the bank. Blues rock in a small world!

The web site for this club is http://www.patriotsmc.co.uk/ and if you want to see some live music in a really kickin venue its appnin ere.

Here is a bit of a song we played, hard to imagine a sweeter blues song to play.

no mistaking this is live at the Patriot!

cheers SHM

SHM - Sherbet Mandao first blog

SHM -

Its a new day and a new dawn for Sherbet Mandao , weve finally come to think that the name is a tricky one, unforgettable, impossible to get right ! We have been billed as
Sherbet Mondays, Shove it up YA DAY O, Sherbert Mondoa

and just about every other combination you can possibly think of except Sherbet Mandao. So as of today we are also adopting , drum rolllllllllllll "SHM" - abbreviation of sherbet mandao. Mark is feeling good about this as it is an opportunity for new logo and posters. So COME ON lets Blues rock with some SHM or SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION, which is the official, cool definition of SHM and exactly what Marks' valve amp would do to his cones if he could get it turned up past 3 !!!!
bye for now
