The Actress & Bishop, Birmingham setlist ... Introducing BuBill ...

Afternoon, and what a beauty,

Moving house, same postcode, all the fun of the fair ! New cat in town and some stories from the West Midlands to tell ... let's get that out the way first shall we ...

Here's the songs I played last night in Brum with MuthaFunk ...
We Want The Funk
I've Had Tears
(If You Think You're) Groovy
It Ain't Easy
25 Miles
... and Phil the King Funk King did some fantastic vocals on Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground ! Love it ! Love him ! Love you all !!!

And so now for the biggest news of all ... wanna see a pic of the new member of the Henshaw clan, of the feline variety ... his name is BuBill, after Bill Hicks' bit about smokers and non-smokers, and he already has a cut behind his ear from scrapping with the Leicestershire Alley Cat Alliance (I think that's what they're calling themselves!) ...



... please excuse my pajimjams and messy hairdo ... I'm just chilling with the cat gulping down some leche ...

And here's a remix of Never Know from the Coming Around album ... try it yourself ... here's all you'll need ... http://www.sendspace.com/file/7ouv6s



... thanks Many Elephants soundsystem of Nottinghamshire !

Peace & Love children and men,
Matt Henshaw x

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 !
