JUST AN UPDATE FOR Y'ALL...

I havent blogged in over a week, and Im having withdrawals, so Im going to update you as to whats happening with me and my music...

So, if you follow my blog youll know that I am releasing my debut EP in late summer/early autumn. I am pleased to report all the songs have been recorded now, and im currently deciding whether to put a bonus song on or wait and gather more material for an album... if you have any opinions on this please feel free to comment!

Iv also finished my promo shots for my website and EP, the lovely Cara Jade Photography (find her on facebook) took the shots, and they look fantastic!!! Very pleased with them so far, just waiting for the rest to come back but you will be able to find them on my website when I have them. Heres one of the pictures I have from the shoot though, what do you think?

Which leads me nicely onto my next update, my website. Iv designed it myself, so let me know what you think. It pulls together my facebook, twitter, soundcloud, blog, and youtube to one place, and gives a bit of background on myself. www.beckylovattmusic.co.uk

OPEN MIC NIGHT - JAMCAFE, NOTTINGHAM

So, Id heard about this cute little cafe in Nottingham that turned into a cool chilled out venue on a Wednesday Night. That, i can confirm, is an accurate description. Organised by a singer/songwriter called Andy, who opened the night with his awesome Newton Faulkner/Jose Gonzalez style, he organises a fantastic night. If you ever get the chance to pop down, definitely do, this is the cutest little venue youll find, with people who just appreciate music and like a good live artist to serenade them of an evening.

I went on about 9.45pm and did 4 covers... i opened with The Verve 'Sonnet,' then Jamie Scott 'Standing in the Rain,' Pink 'Perfect,' and ended with my own version of Muse 'Feeling good.' Which i recorded...

The night went great, my song choices (chosen by my boyfriend Mat, myself and friend Harry) were a great choice and went down well especially the very well known two in there.

There were some other great performances from a duo (i cant remember their names sorry), with a guy playing guitar and girl singing who were very much like a Katie Melua sound, gorgeous to listen to. A guy, Aiden, who sang like Johnny Cash, and did a couple of country/ folky tunes, and there was also a guy who was very similar to Gavin Degraw, but with a guitar and not keys.

So that was a brief little summary, ended up in the bar afterwards so i didnt get to see everyone unfortunately, but it really is a great chilled out night if thats what your after. Its up in the Lace Market, near Ice Nine and Baa Baa so if you get a chance on a wednesday night, head on up there for a great treat. I will be going back very soon, i loved it :)

Thanks for everyone who came to support me lastly, you know how much i appreciate it (Mat, Matt S, Matt O, Harry, Pearse, and Guy (who turned up after id sang...better late than never i suppose)).

This monday, 13th June, i am playing a half an hour set at the Maze in Nottingham (Mansfield Rd), so if anyones local pop up and say hi, its 7.30-8pm.

Love,
