Henshaw's Horticultural Blog: Strawberry Flowers & Getting Ready for Summer !

Good day mateys !

I've just had a wonderful morning and afternoon tea in the garden. Strawberry flowers everywhere, tulips blooming their last gasps of spring and the greenhouse is toasty and warm, currently housing my peas, hemp, lettuce, tomatoes and more herbs and spices than you'd care to shake a stick at.

Nothing like a cup of Yorkshire Tea when you're sat back admiring it all, and a juice, this afternoon made up of strawberries, mint, pomegranate, grapes, apple, pear, radish and beetroot, yum yum yum ! A real summer fruits affair !!

The weeds will come with a vengeance this time of year, but it pays of the nip a few in the bud and make sure you're flowers and fruits get all the nutrients they may usurp, look out for things like dandelions too that are perfect for adding to your green juices, there are a lot more edible bits in the garden than we're often told about. Most won't kill you, I think it's pretty obvious which one might, steer clear of the unknown berries and really dark green viney foliage.

In the meantime, doing my real job, I've uploaded a couple of acoustic demos to Soundcloud, two songs that will appear on my next EP 'Always In The Way' ... OUT JUNE 16th !!

'The Way It Is' has only been up there a couple of hours and 'Goodnight' a couple of days, but the response already has been fantastic, look out for the full band versions surfacing ... piano skills, strings, guitar solos and lots of other lovely good stuff. Stay Tuned !! Spread The Love, MHx

Coming Around again ...

Good Morning,

Found myself waking up at 7am this morning, so I thought I'd do as Gary Neville says and attack the day ... his autobiography is pretty good by the way, it's no Alice in Wonderland but for a footballer from Bury/Salford it ain't half bad grammar wise n that ...

It's been over a week since my last blog believe it or not ! The reasons for this are three, four, maybe five or six fold. I've been away for a while at my "country retreat" taking a well earned break from heavily promoting Coming Around, writing new songs for Satsuma Elephants (tour and festival dates Coming Around soon, and some videos to share with you this month!), writing some diaries about working with ReggiiMental back in 2010, I've had no internets or phone signal and my blog last Monday had more views than anything I've ever written on here before ... the message must be getting through. Everyone who enjoyed the entertainment at Sounddhism @ the Bodega, Nottingham last Saturday must have gotten into the office on Monday morning with nothing better to do ... thank goodness for that ! Thanks for reading, viewing, listening and, hopefully, enjoying !

Anyways, what to tell ? I suppose a quick next phase album update before I get into anything too heavy Satsuma-wise or feed you more tales of Matt Henshaw & ReggiiMental Coming Around ... if there are any MCs, DJs, producers, singers, bands or beatmakers out there who want to be involved in a Creative Commons remix, refix and rework project of the new album, entire album and more then download this Coming Around Remix Pack and share it with as many people as you like, as you can and as you will ...

The aim is to collect as many different version of the record, the songs and ideas as possible, release it all for free on your SoundCloud, YouTube, wherever you stick your stuff online and possibly there'll be an official Matt Henshaw release at the end and, basically, through the beauty of music and the internet we'll all have so much more to share, revel and roll around in !!! I Love You All .... Get To Work ... Tell A Friend !!!

In the meantime, keep watching the vids ...



And keep on listening ...


And Keep Fighting !
