We at Candi’s Dog are delighted to be blogging again, but Daniel did have a minor complaint at our last entry… “Haven’t you already written a blog about your bass? Can you not write about something else?” I was, I admit, a little put out. The other article was about a different bass, and afterContinue reading “Shaker Maker”

All About The Bass
I keep getting reminded that it’s been seven months since our last blog post. I could think of all kinds of genuine excuses and fabricate more, but the simple reason is we’ve had a bit of a blockage. Time after time I’ve sat down with my laptop, waiting for something to happen, but nothing comes.Continue reading “All About The Bass”
Once Upon A Time In The Car
Candi’s Dog have had a busy few months gigging around the UK, and we’re glad to have a little time to put our feet up and enjoy the summer weather. Naturally we put a lot of work into preparing for these gigs, but increasingly these days it seems we spend more and more time preparingContinue reading “Once Upon A Time In The Car”
Candi’s Cat
Regular readers of this blog will know that we try to use it to give more detailed answers to questions we are asked at gigs. One of the more unusual questions was ‘Do you own dogs, then?’ This one we were not prepared for. Indeed, it would never have occurred to me to ask ifContinue reading “Candi’s Cat”
Must Be Funny, In A Rich Man’s World
“Who writes your songs?” we are often asked at gigs. “We share songwriting credits between us” is the simple answer and sometimes this is enough. Sometimes not though and we are then asked, “but who actually writes your songs”. OK, so I’ll tell you, but first a cautionary tale. In our last blog I gaveContinue reading “Must Be Funny, In A Rich Man’s World”
Money, Money, Money
With the close of the financial year looming, I will soon be mired in the tedium of working out how much we have earned from our music. My feelings on completion of this task can be summed up in two questions: “Is that all we earned?” “Why do we even bother?” I’m reminded of aContinue reading “Money, Money, Money”
On the road – Leicester playlist
Today we’re off to Leicester to support CASH (A Tribute to the man in black) at The Musician and we hope you’ll join us there. If you aren’t in the area, you could always join us by listening to the Candi’s Dog playlist we prepared to help the 200 miles fly by. Let us knowContinue reading “On the road – Leicester playlist”
We Must Have Faith In Spring
Despite the Arctic winds which are sweeping down on my little corner of England as I write this, I am pleased to celebrate the start of spring. Though I witness the passing of the seasons year on year, I never lose my fascination with this simple phenomenon caused by quirk in Earth’s axis. While summerContinue reading “We Must Have Faith In Spring”
Location, Location, Shed?
Not so long ago Matthew went through the whole upheaval of looking for a new property and moving house. For several months he kept us up to date on his search during which time we made such comments as “Good location-excellent access to local services-nice period features-good transport links-spacious kitchen-diner, ideal for a young familyContinue reading “Location, Location, Shed?”
Snow Use Complaining
We British apparently love talking about the weather. It regularly tops opinion polls as being the most quintessentially British of traits, an obsession almost. I must say I’ve never really seen the fascination. Commenting on the blindingly obvious fact that water is falling from the air, or studying the movement of weather fronts like there’sContinue reading “Snow Use Complaining”
