The Dawn Chorus / The Retrospective Soundtrack Players - Blogging all over the World

My name is Kyle. I am a happily failing indie/punk/folk/country/rock musician from Hampshire, UK. I have been singing and songwriting in The Dawn Chorus since 2005, and The Retrospective Soundtrack Players since 2010. I love these two bands like my brother/wife rolled into one. This blog details the shows I have played with both bands, in chronological order.

My Albums of 2008

There are tonnes of albums i still need to listen to, especially with these end of year lists whetting my appetite. Anyways, I got some CDs around December so I've given myself time to let them sink in (I'll be honest, The B of the Bang's blog has made me pull my finger out) I would say it's been a 7/10 year for albums. Drumroll please.......
