I am pleased to announce the return of Casualkai. It's been 7 years since we last wrote and recorded together as a 4 piece unit. Back in 2014, we got back together for a one off gig at The Central Bar, Gateshead, and it was probably the best we'd ever played. in turn, that gig has ignited our collective love to do something again creatively. Iniital rehearsals are going really well and we've a case load of new material in the works. we're in a buzzing place at the minute! N

My late uncle and our blues/jazz collab in Aug 2000

27 Feb 2010, 6:02pm

Hello musicians, friends, family, music lovers, etc.

I will endevour to post more on my myspace site, websites, etc. as i've alot of creative juice at the mo and alot of songs have been written over the years - but i put all that to one side to concentrate on various bands, etc. BUT NOT IN 2010 - I've an album to put together of my stuff and a collaborative project to finish with Patrick Snape of the "unstable tables".

In the meantime, i invite you all to check out a blues / jazz session myself and my late uncle Dereck (god rest his jazzy soul) - did back In August 2000 which i've titled "Cottage Jam EP" because well...we were in a cottage, had some beers and put some tunes down onto my 4-track machine which i later tidied up on my cubase setup, added piano in 2009.

"Us and us only" was the 1st take of a riff that was to become and eventually became the Casualkai version with lyrics in 2009 from the Snapshots album.

"Troublin sax" is based on a traditional blues riff that has been played many times over the different decades. I use to play a vocal version with my pal lee in casualkai when he and i did the student circuit at hull uni, 1998-2001.

"400 miles" Is another "nick gladdish" composition that took shape when my late uncle jammed the thing out with me. I had lyrics and a song written, but wanted to jam an instrumental version with him.

I hope you enjoy the tunes, until next time...

Fatcats Unplugged...My new acoustic showcase in toon!!

27 Feb 2010, 6:02pm

On the gigging front - i have just started to run an unplugged acoustic night in Newcastle. Fatcats cafe/bar is the venue. There was no platform in town for singer/songwriters to showcase their stuff in a rootsy kind of way - the only places that seemed to do "unplugged" sessions were folk nights. At fatcats, I am booking performers who raise the bar again and who play honest, stripped down unplugged sets. We've had some great nights so far! NOT only is the Music night fantastic - but you will be treated to top notch homemade food / drink - all served 'til 1030pm. Get down for a truly alternative Music night. This is NOT AN OPEN MIC NIGHT! I am the night's host who opens the evening with a set - i then have 3 guest acts each playing 30 min sets. It's free entry, starts at 8pm.

Recording update: Patrick and i have pretty much finished "Some kind" - just some percussion parts / violin parts to go and then mix the thing together!

Thanks for reading this, Nick.
