...it's the plastic they make cd wallets with. Apparently. It's been driving me nuts. So, busy times. Spent the weekend in a secret location (sort of) shooting the video for Good Fortune, which is released Monday 4th April. As with the last video shoots, it was freezing. I think my video makers have it in for me. It's worth it thought. Looking great already, even without any wizardry. As i type, i'm in Chelmsford for the first night of the tour with the lovely Dave McPherson. Very nice chap. It's going to be a good few weeks. Hope to see you at one of the dates. We went for food at a bar set in the past that had a train running around the restaurant's coving. Reminded me of Back to the Future for some reason. Not sure why. And the backwards clock just made me think i was losing my mind. Probably old hat to most. More bars need frozen tankards. Heading back to Worcester tonight, then the tour really starts on Saturday. Good times.

Well, what a great weekend. As previously mentioned, I've been to various locations with some very talented friends to put together some acoustic videos with live acoustic recordings. It's been an honour. Today we were at The Regal, in Evesham, which is an old 1930's cinema. It's currently being renovated, but its original glory still breathes on. Shooting in the projection room with machine's nearly twice the size of me was definitely a first. Bit's of film lying around, some still on the reels, with the likes of Nicholas Cage and Disney scenes on, along with all the traditional tools and bits of kit. Of course, as it's being renovated there's power, but no heating apparently. Finger-picking is fun when you're shaking like a leaf and are barely aware that your fingertips are still in existence. Joe and i stuck around for another couple of hours to capture some shots of yours truly in the various rooms and stairways. By this point, feet were blue

So, apparently i'm meant to actually update this blog thing reguarly. Let's see how that goes. Well, today I've been on location for the filming of a couple of acoustic songs with Alex Clough & Neil Collins (the makers of the 'Insects' video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAIFQ6yURUw ). Dave Draper (my producer http://www.track-in-the-box.co.uk ) kindly joining us to record it all and Joe Singh (photographer http://www.snaprockandpop.co.uk ) to.....be Joe Singh. I jest. He got some excellent shots, so no change there. Hadn't quite contemplated how hard it was going to be. Playing gentle songs in the freezing cold, trying not the shiver and ruin the take is pretty tough! Just about managed though.   It's nice to spend some time in the great outdoors with some great friends though. Been too long. Back to it again tomorrow, but this time we'll be indoors, However, it's a pretty derelict location, so no heat again. It's all good fun though, a

So, i've entered the blog world. Not really out of choice. (One day i'll explain why) This could be interesting. ..or not. For now, visit http://howardjameskenny.bandcamp.com for a free download of my song 'Digits Point', news on upcoming releases, tour dates and more.
