Hi, my name, well my
moniker you shall know me by is 'The
Voice' and from now on I shall
be presenting the news, the rumours and the official
line from Toby Jepson headquarters. I am not privy to
all information and from time to time I will get it wrong,
but Toby has charged me with the task of keeping you
lot up to date with developments, if you have contrary
info or a rumour you want verifying, looking into etc,
please contact me at the usual address: mail@tobyjepson.com and
I will endeavour to shed my divine light on whatever
it is...for now, read on...
After
just three shows the response to Toby playing with Fastway has
been unanimously positive!Rapturous responses from audiences and critics alike
have been received from the warm-up show in London
as well as festival appearances at Sweden Rocks and the
Download Festival.In
fact, its been rumoured that organisers from both camps have
already asked the band to return next year.Only on the main stage of course!
Sweden provided to be
particularly exciting as the band took a private Sessner jet from
Luton; rushed through the Swedish airport like true rock
stars; played the gig, 5 minute break while Fast Eddie played
'Ace of Spades' with Motorhead, police escort back to the airport
before getting a private Sessner out again.U2 eat your heart out!
Toby
was interviewed backstage at Download by both Bruce Dickinson
and Liz Kershaw for their radio shows on Radio 2 and Radio 6
respectively – I’ll try and find out when the interviews
air and give you sufficient warning.
Also
– we’re looking for any photo’s or films clips anyone
might have taken at any of the recent appearances.Please email to admin@tobyjepson.com.
You’ll
be pleased to know that the overwhelmingresponse to the Fastway gig has motivated Toby even
more towards his solo career….speaking of which….
Recording
on the follow-up to EP1 is scheduled for the end of July in
London
, with mixing to be completed in sunny
Scarborough
.I’m told the
clearer
North Sea
air lets Toby produce the album more effectively but I’m not
sure about the actual science behind that logic.
Toby
is hoping to get Fast Eddie to record a guitar solo on a track
on the EP but apparently getting him to actually do such
things can sometimes prove tricky!I guess we’ll see how that one turns out when the EP
is released.
Ovation
have mentioned the possibility of a Toby Jepson signature
guitar.Which
frankly can only be a good thing.Ovation are sponsoring next months acoustic radio tour
which is currently being organised for July/August.

Nige
finally finished the first ‘Overloaded’ video.Entitled ‘Clips’ this can be seen on Toby’s
MySpace page and YouTube.This video is a compilation of cool, funny and frankly
embarrassing footage form the March/April tour.The second video, ‘Lip-sync’, is in the final
stages now and will be debuting shortly….
There
will be a big article in next months Classic Rock – an
interview with Fast Eddie and Toby mainly regarding the
upcoming year for Fastway.More festivals appearances and a rumour
of one final album which Toby may or may not have a hand in
co-writing and co-producing.
