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.

Two Thousand Trees Festival (Busking Box)
DC/RSP/BOTB mega busk-off
One of the five favourite gigs of my whole life, and it wasn't even a proper gig. The organisers had asked me to do a DC acoustic set after all the main bands finished at 11pm, so Nelly and I started off playing 'Fractured City' on a couple of acoustics, and then gradually Simps, Wit and Kelvin arrived and played whatever they had at hand as we bashed through various songs and covers for an hour or so. The crowd of people that gathered were amazing and made it into a truly special moment. I like to list the sets after this type of show, so here it is, as best as I can remember. DC = The Dawn Chorus, RSP = The Retrospective Soundtrack Players, BOTB = The B of the Bang.
