Playing live acoustic music at the Wedding Tweet Ups - Goldbrick House, Bristol

Tonight I played some live acoustic music at Goldbrick House, Bristol for the Bristol Wedding Tweet Up. The Tweet Up is an informal get-together arranged by Kirsten aka The Little Wedding Helper for people in the wedding industry. It's a good excuse for us all to get together, have a glass of bubbly, some canapés and a good chinwag!

Goldbrick House is a lovely venue on Park Street in the centre of Bristol. I've played a couple of weddings there before, but never been up on the top level before (the Orangery). It's absolutely beautiful with some great views.

Here's my set lists from tonight:

Bob Marley - Three Little Birds
Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight
George Ezra - Budapest
Zutons/Amy Winehouse - Valerie
Jack Johnson - Better Together
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
Tom Odell - Grow Old With Me
Beatles - Here Comes The Sun
Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay
Blackstreet - No Diggity
Ed Sheeran - Don't
Bastille - Pompeii
Avicii - Wake Me Up

Pharrell - Happy
Stevie Wonder - Superstition
Killers - Mr Brightside
George Ezra - Blame It On Me
Stealers Wheel - Stuck In The Middle With You
Daft Punk - Get Lucky
Lumineers - Ho Hey
Bob Marley - Stir It Up
Jackson Five - I Want You Back

patmcintyre.co.uk launched

I've recently launched www.PatMcIntyre.co.uk as a personal website separate to my wedding music business. On this page, I'll be promoting my own music - once it's recorded! I've been writing and recording both for myself and for others for many years now, and it feels like the time is right to record my best songs and release them as an EP. At the moment I have the songs mostly ready as sketches, but I'm just so busy that I haven't had time to record yet! Hopefully I'll be getting some original material out there around about Spring 2015.

Single Release in China/Taiwan

A song I co-wrote has been recently released in China and Taiwan by Asian superstar Amber Ann (kinda like the Taiwanese Cheryl Cole!). A million hits on this video in the first week - nice! You can check out the video here...

Live Wedding Guitar Songs

I've been recording some live footage at this Summer's wedding events and have started to get around to putting some of it on YouTube. I've set up a playlist which you can watch below... and I'll be continually adding to this as an when I upload more footage :)

Public Appearance at Clifton Arcade

Tomorrow I'll be playing some fun, upbeat summery acoustic tunes at the beautiful Clifton Arcade centre. Dating back to 1878, Clifton Arcade is a unique and beautiful shopping little centre full of charm and character, right in the heart of Clifton Village. From 2pm-ish, I'll be playing an hour or two of acoustic songs, so if you're nearby then why not pop down and say hi!

Viral cat video!! And a TV appearance on BBC1

Unrelated to weddings, and (unfortunately!) unrelated to music - but in a random turn of events, I've been invited to appear on The One Show on BBC1 this coming Wednesday. Some of you may know that a little while back, a video I posted to YouTube went viral. It was shared on sites such as the Huffington Post, and was even featured on the Steve Wright Show on BBC Radio 2 at one point! It was a strange week. As well as being a musician, I work 3 days a week as a postman. Yup - you guessed it, I really am Postman Pat! I was out on my walk one day when a friendly cat took a liking to me. You guessed it again - it was a black and white cat! So we had a real-life Postman Pat and his black and white cat, and the internet went crazy for it... you can see the video here:

Now, with the upcoming launch of a Postman Pat movie, the One Show are doing a feature and decided to invite me down the studios to get involved with the programme. Well, what could I say other than... YES?!! Should be a lot of fun, I'm already getting nervous though - live TV! You can catch the programme this Wednesday 14th May, from 7pm - 8pm.
