So, after many years of plugging away at the old music business thing, it looks like things are finally going Dougie’s way: he handed a copy of his new single to Chris Moyles on monday morning, and got his first play(s) on Radio 1 very shortly afterwards. As a result, he’s made his first music video (here, and featured on the frontpage of YouTube today), attracted loads of media interest, got himself a manager and is apparently talking to a bunch of label types. Good on him; he deserves it.
(background: I used to go to the same church as Doug, and have played with him on a few occasions over the years; he’s a thoroughly lovely bloke and he’s been working dead hard at the music thing for ages now so it’s great that it looks like he’s finally got his big break)
‘Texan spiders spin ‘monster web”
Not the sort of music video I was expecting. I’ll give you that…
Yes, let’s hope that he’s finally got the break into the big time that he deserves.
There’s a video of the song’s first outing at the Hard Rock Cafe, Manchester at http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=16917238
