About Me

Christmas is coming and the Greg is getting fat

I'm actually trying to lose weight, but let's not talk about that. Luke has been rehearsing with his boss new band - Luke Mawdsley & The Explosive, I've been touring round Germany with MTTS and Daniel has been ripping shit up all over Chester's legal system so we've not done much lately, but we've pencilled in some recording for January, so the first "band" recordings of VB should be in your ears shortly. It will be on fire.

10 Bands / 10 Minutes - A Dookie Tribute

Yo! My day job is in Married to the Sea, Married to the Sea are putting on an awesome night of entertainment this Saturday. 10 bands will each play 10 minute sets and cover at least one song from the 400 trillion billion selling album Dookie by Green Day. It will be amazing, and it will only happen once in your lifetime. Be there - Saturday 8pm, Liverpool Barfly, £4.

Daniel & Luke

To aid me in my quest for global domination (i.e. play this gig on Friday) I've enlisted the help of Daniel Melia and Luke Mawdsley (who you may know for hitting things in The Sporting Life). It's gonna be dreamy!

It's all kicking off!

The lovely people at "Carefully Planned" have asked me to play at the Liverpoolathon (!) night on May 23rd at Kro Bar in Manchester. It's going to be chock-full of Liverpool heavy-weights such as; Arms at last, Puzzle, Voo and Married to the Sea! Out of my depth?! I don't know what you mean?!

Almost famous...

I've been asked by Kool Tone Records to put a song on their upcoming compilation CD, which is nice — Thanks guys!

I haven't decided which song to give them yet, perhaps you can help me out?! To vote for me to stay on X-Factor Strictly Come Dancing On Ice please call 0906 123 4567 or text GREG to 60300

New Songs!

...well nearly. So there hasn't been anything new up here for ages. All that is about to change. I'm gonna do some spring cleaning and put some crazy hits all over your face(s) — Get your dancing shoes on!

MTTS // Radio 2 - Janice Long

I'm pretty excited about the VB performance on Janice Long tonight - everyone thinks it's gonna be a MTTS session, but I'm gonna hijack it (...Sssshh! Don't tell anyone!). If you too tired or whatever (it's on at midnight) I think it'll be up on the BBC site for a bit http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/long/

Handle with care

You Are 20% Boyish and 80% Girlish

Even if you're not a girl, you're very feminine. You're in touch with your feelings, and your heart rules you. A bit of a emotional roller coaster, one moment you're up and the next you're down. But no matter what, you try to be as cute and perky as possible.

Word!

...and so you might be thinking that sounds a bit like Greg from Milk , and then you start thinking - "wait, isn't that the guy from Business Owls ?", and then you'll be all like; "Shit dude! it's that guy from that new band that have got a really cool name about something nautical" , and then I'll be all like; "No way dude!". Then after all that you'll be all like "Woah! That's the guy that recorded my band in The Hottie" and I'll still be all like "Hey man, that wasn't me, it was just some dude that looked like me!" ...and then you'll probably click; "It's that dickhead who did those gay From Soup To Nuts nights in Manchester", but I'll be all "Hey! Wait! My shit IS dope!"
