Ustream.tv Tuesday Nights Andy Roberts Music 7.00pm
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2009/07/27/ustream-tv-tuesday-nights-andy-roberts-music-7-00pm
Andy Roberts Music on Tuesday Nights I’ve been trying out ustream.tv for making live broadcast videos and I think it’s something I’d like to experiment with further. So I decided to pick a day and time to see if I can persuade a few people to tune in for some simultaneous music and chat. I decided on Tuesday Evenings at 7.00pm UK time for now, but that could always change if turns out not to be a good choice. I have broadband issues right now, so this may not start with immediate effect but I’m intending to broadcast most Tuesdays throughout August and then resume mid September. It should be easy enough to notify anybody of schedule changes once we get going.
Ustream.tv Ustream.tv is essentially a narrowcast media, allowing anybody to start up a channel and ‘broadcast’ live from a computer. All you need is a webcam, and built-in microphone to start with, and a decent broadband connection, which I intend to have very soon. So what’s going to happen on Tuesday Evenings on the Andy Roberts Music channel? Well that depends who turns up, but the intention is to busk a load of songs, as the whim takes me, and keep an eye on the chat room at the same time. Maybe there’ll be somebody else, who knows. The technology allows for the show to be transferred across to other hosts, so in theory we could end up with a series of ‘floor spots’ as it were, all the while keeping the same crowd connected. Bands, ustream and youTube One of the big advantages with the ustream system is the way the live shows can also be recorded and saved, and instantly uploaded to youTube as well. Bands can do this quite successfully by building up support for a ‘live internet gig’ weeks in advance, then performing in a room with a webcam placed in the corner to pick up the whole band. The online audience an get a real sense of being present at a live event. But me , I’ll just be sitting at my iMac with a guitar and keyboard, generating lots of song files and interacting with whoever turns up. I hope by making it a regular event that some kind of build up might happen over the weeks, to amass a small group of regulars from amongst the billions of internet users out there who might be interested in acoustic music with me. Andy Roberts Music Video from Ustream to YouTube As an example, here’s a video that originated in ustream as part of the prototyping session and is now embedded here from youTube. It’s a song that I always thought was a Wizz Jones song because he likes to play it a lot and recorded it but it turns out to be by Mose Allison You can count on me to play my part Click here to view the embedded video. So there you go – just one last reminder then:- >>Tuesday Nights at 7.00pm<<

Song by Mose Allison covered by Wizz JonesLet's talk it over, let's get it straightDon't let the situation escalateYou know there's always problems when a man is wrapped up in his artBut don't you worry baby you can count on me to do my partYou keep on working, I'm looking roundDon't let you girlfriends put me downYou know it's tough these days for a proud man to make a startBut don't you worry baby you can count on me to do my partYou wash the dishes, I've gotta runYou know that night life ain't such funNow don't wait up for me cause I know you need your rest, sweetheartBut don't you worry baby you can count on me to do my part

Wizz Jones at Walthamstow Folk Club
http://andyrobertsmusic.blogspot.com/2009/02/wizz-jones-at-walthamstow-folk-club.html
It all happened very quickly yesterday, as I was listening to a Steve Tilston track, Linda Carter mentioned that he was playing Walthamstow Folk Club on the 1st March. Checking the forthcoming gigs I noticed that the legendary Wizz Jones was playing last night and resolved to get to that one if at all possible. It turned out to be not so difficult at all using the W19 bus route so this brings another folk club into range but what was it like?Well it's a nice enough pub, Walthamstow Folk Club is at The Plough Inn, 173 Wood Street, Walthamstow, London E17 3NU where there are other genres of live music on different nights of the week and the Fullers beer was good. They used to have bottled Dunkertons cider as well but we didn't get around to checking that last night.I had a feeling I'd bump into somebody I knew, but didn't guess that it would be our friends from Havering Folk Club, Foxen as from last Wednesdays Foxen Night, so that made us feel welcome straight away. The venue is on the ground floor, seperated from the main bar area and although smallish, uses a PA and microphone system with mixing desk. The audience sits in rows of chairs and behaves appropriately without much disturbance from either the bar extension or the rowdy saloon next door.Wizz Jones himself of course is just a blues guitar playing legend, and played most of my old favourites including Deep River Blues, Nobody knows you when you're down and out and Anji as a tribute to Davy Graham.Here's that video clip of Wizz Jones with the beatniks in Newquay in Cornwall from 1960
