Weekly Sunday Livestream via STREAMYARD to YouTube Live/Twitch/Facebook Live

So until this Covid thing works itself out one way or another and some semblance of a live music scene comes back, I think i am just going to keep on keeping on by getting online once a week and having a bit of a sing over some looping bizniss. While I am based back in Wales having some much needed family time, I will continue to bring you new music from my imminently incoming lockdown album TOUGH STUFF plus any new covers I feel inclined to learn. I will also definitely be resorting to some of the back catalogue when I get confused. Please join me in the comfort of your own homes and make sure you wear your dancing slippers.

Ironic Elctronics will bring you Sonic Mnemonics. And that actually makes quite a lot of sense if you think about it. a 10pm hit with no cover charge out the back of Park and Rec is just what the brain surgeon ordered. Thundercats, Hooooooooooooooooooooooh!
