Play The Game - Matt Henshaw (newsletter)

So, this is what we're doing.  Playing the game.  Whilst I'm slowly coming to terms with being a solo singer-songwriter and looking out for means of keeping those skills of singing and songwriting in employment I'll be slowly dripping out some of my recordings ... so far It Ain't Easy and My Life have surfaced.  And here's a third instalment ... 
Play The Game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29e1_rwG7jg&list=PL7UCvjRIeiY9bHc8S5B10vDleLSXwSIdf&index=3
About coming of age in Nottingham city and a reflection on how great cities transition from pastoral historic medieval towns to the great globalised Americanised urban metropolitan cities, that by hook or by crook, they're now becoming around the world.

Nevermind anyway, eh?  It's just a ride.  I like this format, not giving too much away, letting the songs do the singing ... but it you are hungry for imagery here's me performing at The Curve Theatre in Leicester ... and you can always find me on facebook and/or instagram ...


Peace, Love & Understanding, Matt Henshaw x

August ! One month 'till Birthday celebrations ...

Apologies for the lack of blogs through July. Hopefully I can step it up a gear through August.

I've been very busy of late, even to the point that I've been bed-ridden for the first 3 days of this week, exhausted ! 7 months of the year down and three musical projects up and running ...
Matt Henshaw
The B-Boy Soul Experience from Matt Henshaw & ReggiiMental
& Satsuma Elephants
don't forget to 'Like' up everything on facebook ...

Speaking of which, I've just joined that monolith of the cyber world myself, I don't really know what I'm getting myself in for but I'd appreciate your friendship over there, warms the cockles does that tiny little 'Like' button ... but I've promised myself not to get toooooo engrossed in it ... that is very much a possibility ... and it's an easy way to share pics ...

Like this one ... my new Page profile pic ... Live @ The London Palladium ... hope you 'Like' it ... don't worry I'll get bored of that soon enough ...



And don't forget BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS - Friday 6th September @ The Venue, Derby - Be there or be extremely right angled !!

Oh, and if you've missed the setlist posts, I always put mine up on here SetList.fm/Matt-Henshaw-13d00551.html ... check what songs I'm playing, it's different everytime I hit the stage, planning is for chumps ... although, I think that's why I failed a lot of my Art GCSE bits ... nevermind !

Satsuma Elephants @ Pepper Rocks, Nottingham setlist ...

OK, so this is the last of the setlist blogs for a while ... no gigs for a bit, certainly no Satsuma Elephants 'till Y-Not Festival (we're on on Saturday afternoon by the way) unless something special comes up ... in the mean time we'll be working away at some new songs, beefing up the setlist and hitting the studio to demo some of them proper !

So, Pepper Rocks, Nottingham. Tuesday 18th June, remember the date, the first Satsuma Elephants show in their hometown. And what a show. Certainly the best dressed crowd the Elephants have played for so far. Especially Chief Satsuma in her home made Satsuma Elephants t-shirt ... and very snazzy indeed it looked too ! You can read her thoughts here ... SatsumaElefans.blogspot.co.uk

So what did we play ...
707
(I Went On) Holiday
Creep Into the Night
Let Everything Go featuring ReggiiMental AKA. Jimmy B-Boy
A Hard Road of Hope
Always in the Way
I Didn't Know What Day It Was

Thanks to everyone who came down ... photographers doing a spectacular job, can't wait to see some pics and my man JC on the video cameras, making the Satsuma Elephants documentary ... the first clip from which can be found on YouTube, roughly edited, before you video editing impressarios hit me with your negative feedback !

And if you didn't know by now there's a brand new website up and running ... SatsumaElephants.com

My Bank Holiday Weekend ...

As the rain clouds set in midweek it's definitely time to reflect on my sunny Bank Holiday weekend and return my blog, neglected for a whole week can you believe!??! I hope forgiveness can be found within you all ...

Been all over the place. In the Midlands of course, cruising like a character from the imagination of Shane Meadows. Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire ... done 'em all.

Bumped into Bill Bailey !


Working with a few comedians of late ... stay tuned !

Making a move into book publishing, watch this space. Been helping out a friend who is an antiques dealer. Got a whole bunch of great vinyl records and some books. Plus, working on a podcast wih special guests and music history debate.

On Sunday I visited Nottingham for the annual Dot-to-Dot Festival ... caught up with some old friends and great new bands ... Kappa Gamma, Kagoule, Virginia Moon, Leah Sanderson, Dog Is Dead, Late of the Pier, Whispering Dolls, Fletcher, Hector, Joy Mumford and loads more ... and I got roped into doing an impromptu acoustic set at the Jam Cafe in Hockley ... I'll post more about that soon !

Oh, and notched up my 7th BBQ of the year with some great friends, Ilkeston's finest ... always nice to visit my home town. My mum is there, and her cooking is great !!!

Keep on the tunes ducks and duckies ...



And keep on listening ...


And Keep Fighting !

MattHenshaw.com ReDesign

Evening folks,

If you've been flicking around the world wide web in search of Matt Henshaw produce you might have noticed that my social networks have had something of a design overhaul. Overhauled they have been indeed. MattHenshaw.com is now looking a little easier on the eyes. Nice clean, white and beautifully adorned by my face and that of Mr. ReggiiMental's, in the lead up to our album release on May 1st the site will grow organically and I'll be adding more and more content to there. Music, videos, images, blogs, feeds, whatever you need to make you surfing experience that little bit more exciting; as if a whole internet full of all the world's cyber information isn't enough already !

Stay tuned as shortly I'll be giving you live dates, album artwork if you haven't seen it already, tracklisting and special information only though of you plugged into the blogosphere are able to access. Hopefully your appetite is moistened and whetted and you're looking forward to the summer of 2013 as much as I am ... and with a new B-Boy Soul soundtrack to boot !

August here again ... (a quick update) ...

Howdy folks,

Hope you're enjoying your Jubilee, Euro, Olympic Summer ... plenty to do, plenty to keep busy with and I'm hoping every action you take is altruistic and brings happiness to everyone especially those around you ...

So, what do you want to know from me? Working on the website at present, and an archive of Matt Henshaw artistic materials from 2002 onwards ... I've done an awful lot of stuff ... hard to believe that I've been recording myself or writing stuff or drawing things for over ten years ... what shall I share with you all ?? Well, there's around 50 odd Matt Henshaw & ReggiiMental tracks that have never emerged from The Deepest Cellar (we wasn't just drinking tea down there you know, lots of writing and plenty of vocal takes!) ... and there's plenty of features from the likes of Joey G-Zus, Chris Goring, Devas, Saynt Luke, TLG, Unfriendly Neighbours, BiggaMan, Flava Dan, Syndrome, Emma-Louise, Banana Klan and many more ...

!!! REGGIIMENTAL IS INNOCENT !!!

See you soon with a new MattHenshaw.com ...

All my lovin',
Matt Henshaw x

All My Best & All My Apologies ...

Sorry I haven't blogged properly in so long ... I thought I'd blog now though as I've just gotten round to replying to couple of blog comments on this 'ere blog dating way back to the end of May ... I feel terrible but I just thought I'd reblog them here as you can see they're from two of the best Matt Henshaw (Censored) fans that there ever was, and to prove that I'm still alive ...

Here's the original blog post and the comments below ... have a read ... or have a read below if you're too lazy to click and don't mind having no stylish text to read, just the plain old matthenshaw11.blogspot.co.uk blog entry typeface ...

Well done dear boy. As a small tribute, I thought I'd mention an old tune of yours on my blog - because it still make me want to pogo round the living room every time I hear it. I'm sure you know which one it is........

Thanks folks!

Two of my most loyal supporters right there I'm sure.

Actually graduated today, so that's officially that with the University of Leicester.

Johnny, Johnny Boy, you're such a jolly boy !

I might have been sure it would have been that one Rob, I haven't heard it for so long, and the video I had all but forgotten about! Nice One !

Good memories ... plenty more where that came from, stay tuned, and hopefully I'll have my new website up and running this summer,packed full of memories, and new stuff of course, and just general all round goodness ...

Apologies to you both, and anyone else who bothers to read the comments bits on my blog (you're my favourite people in the world, by the way!) I've been busy with the arbitrary and mundane of life of late ... well, for most people it would be mundane, but when you're Matt Henshaw you can find excitement on every turn! So, I'm having a good one, and I hope you are too ...

Speak Soon!

Matt Henshaw and his little BBC page!

Following the official recognition from YouTube it was an extra special pleasure when Jimmy B-Boy aka. ReggiiMental got in touch with me and told me that he'd found an official Matt Henshaw BBC page ! Surfing the web these things pop up from time to time and it is very nice ... there's not much on there though, maybe I should pull my finger out and start creating some music that will sell by the bucket load ... they've got the old Censored tribe on there too. I used to be a member don't you know ... cool runnings ...

Hop on on over to my official website and sign up for the mailing list to hear about future developments and be treated to a selection of acoustic session videos, including one over at the BBC ...
