HUNDRED SEVENTY SPLIT

May 2020 Newsletter by Leo Lyons
 

 

Hi Everyone

 

I hope you’re keeping well in these really strange and difficult times.

Hundred Seventy Split like almost everyone is in lockdown. Fingers crossed that things get back to normal as soon as is possible, but I can’t see us touring again until October. As usual you can check for any updates on our web site www.10070split.co.uk.

So many things had been planned for this year including recording a new studio album at Damon’s newly refurbished and equipped Crescent Studios. We were booked to start in April but, since we can’t be together in the same room, I’m not sure when that can be re-scheduled.

We’ve had an idea to keep something musical going in the meantime and keep in touch. A while before the Pandemic struck, we had a rehearsal in Musicbox Studios, Cardiff as a warm up ready for touring.

We recorded some of those songs as a reference; not new material but slightly different versions of songs already released on record. We’ve added video to the audio and you’ll find the videos on the Hundred Seventy Split Facebook and YouTube pages. It’s about as live as we can get until things get back to normal. Hope you enjoy them.

I’ve also just set up a ‘Leo Lyons Musician’ YouTube Channel, where I talk about my career and all things music. There’s a question and answer section plus videos of Hundred Seventy Split and classic TYA footage all gathered together in one place. I intend on adding something new each week, and as it builds perhaps even interviews with some of my musician friends.



All things are possible with your support so please check out my channel. If you like it please SUBSCRIBE to receive notifications of new posts when they occur. 



That’s all for now. I send best wishes from me, Joe and Damon. We look forward to seeing you out on ‘The Road’ as soon as is possible. Stay safe.

Regards

Leo 

 

  

 



 

At the end of the November tour I spent a very enjoyable couple of days as a guest of the Warwick Bass Company in Markneukirchen, Germany. Thanks to all at Warwick for their hospitality. www.warwickbass.com

Needless to say I’ve acquired yet another bass and a new Warwick amp rig which I’ll be taking out on the upcoming tour. There’s a well-known saying amongst musicians ’The next instrument will be my last’.
