Update – Paul Hawkins/Paul Hawkins & The Awkward Silences gigs

Hi all

Hopefully it shouldn’t be too long now before Outsider Pop is back and up and running as normal (both in terms of the website and the nights) but in the meantime two gigs to tell you about…

First off Paul’s playing solo tonight at the 12 Bar Club in Soho. He’ll be doing some new material and some new interpretations of some older material. This will probably be the last gig he does with his solo project under his own name – the new name for the project is all but decided will be announced in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile Paul Hawkins & The Awkward Silences play the Alley Cat in Denmark St, Soho, on Saturday 12th March. It should be a great gig and we hope to see you there…

Paul

A solo gig, a first full band gig of the year and a first ever gig in Norwich

Hi everyone

Just a quick update to say that

a) There’s a Paul Hawkins solo gig tomorrow (Wednesday 2nd February) at the Dogstar, 389 Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, London, SW9 8LQ. I’ll be doing a short set of songs from forthcoming album Haunted By My Own Ghost. Entry is £3, I’m on at 8 and there’ll be various acts on after me including the Other Dances, who are excellent.

b) On Tuesday 15th February the Awkward Silences play their first gig of the year at the Bull & Gate in Kentish Town. We’ll be on at 10:15. The wonderful Tim Ten Yen is playing too.

c) On Tuesday 17th February I make my Norwich debut at the Jamboree night in Olive’s Cafe, 40 Elm Hill, NR3 8HG. I can’t wait!

Best wishes,

Paul

Great Moments in Outsider Pop No. 57 – Tim Ten Yen gives away a free song with every full moon.

As you may know Tim Ten Yen is a great favourite of Outsider Pop. This year he’s decided to give away a free song every time there’s a full moon.

Yesterday saw the first full moon of 2011. So we got this:

TheFengShuiMan by Tim Ten Yen

Please do enjoy!
