Hey #Sheffield pals - sadly support for next Friday's show at DINA has dropped out (thru no fault of their own) - hit me up with some recommends for Sheffield-based LBTQ+ spoken-work or musical artists please?
Drop me a line here, or at https://bleedingobvious.uk/contact 😘 x
6 years ago today - the first Bleeding Obvious gig, at Unity Works in Wakefield. I only ever intended to do one show... 🙄😆
A #reintroduction - I’m a musician who sings songs about being queer while banging around on piano.
Did Edinburgh Fringe this year, and some other festivals including L Fest and Trans Pride Brighton. I’m on a UK tour at the mo, do come!
Live in Wakefield UK with my wife. Trans inclusive feminist, obvs.
On the flip side is my personal account @jess - it's quite noisy.

Weekend off - need it after the intensity of the past few weeks. Not quite come down from the PTSD of #EdFringe tbh, although from the sounds of it I'm faring better than some of my dressng-room buddies.
Out for cocktails with my wife later, perhaps a cheeseboard when we get home 🧀
Back on the road on Tuesday: Bristol for Trans Pride South West Cabaret then Thu is Leeds (nearly sold out), finally Sheffield on Fri to bring it to a close.
Deets at https://bleedingobvious.uk/gigs as always 😘
Helen wants to call it "Jean-Claude". I have yet to work out why.
Maybe it's "Pushbutton Nigel" after Nigel Ogden, presenter of "The Organist Entertains" - who would no doubt *love* it.
@bleedingobvs jings, those buttons! i’d call it “The Grid”: https://youtu.be/lILHEnz8fTk
@apatchworkboy Mmm. Can be arranged. There's a D-connector on the back for extension stuff.
Can report I've just performed a Bossa-Nova version of "Sweet Child O' Mine" on it, and now I think I'm about to be served divorce papers.
@bleedingobvs what the where the actual buggery fucksticks…? Does it come with a forklift?
@apatchworkboy It's got a LOT of buttons - and a floppy disk drive.
I had honestly forgotten how much fun those "auto-arranger" keyboards could be. This one doesn't quite know what it wants to be - it's part organ, part keyboard, part performance synth, all sorts of things - and cheesy as heck.
@randywalters If I get a chance, certainly! x
New keyboard needs a name and none of us in the house can agree, other than it’s “Pushbutton…” something.
(It’s an Orla KX1000. Mad thing.)
@JustineSmithies @vkc @neil @codemonkeymike @unfa @mcol @withaveeay Awh ta, that's lovely of you 🥰
Off to Sheffield a bit later to deliver some posters and pick up an eBay purchase. A cuppa in DINA will be welcome!
Tickets for Fri 25 Nov show at DINA Sheffield - http://tbo.show/n22shf - final date on the November tour!
7 years ago today lying in a bed in Brighton, I started writing this song. 6 years ago today I released my first album. Things have changed quite a lot since then.
My next show is in BRISTOL next Tue 22 Nov - me plus Alasdair Wallace, and music from Elijah Dahl for a Trans Pride South West night of cabaret.
