Also I dont quite fancy watching the football which is currently on in my house So today I have been amused by revisiting my past as I spent my university days in Totnes. Strolling in and out of quirky shops full of wonderful trinkets I dont need and sipping coffees and hot chocolates in funky cafes sorry I cringe at using the word funky. On my final day as a student in Totnes me and my housemate decided to leave a note hidden in our favourite seat in a cafe there. It read somthing like Call us if you find this note with some illustrations of us and our numbers. That was in 2006 To my suprise it is still there. Either noone fancies calling us or the staff dont clean very hard Maybe the latter... I have also filled a void in my life for a 13 note pink melodica which I found hidden in a corner of a shop. For 1634.99 it had to be purchased Its just a shame I d... 2010-2-27 17:23:18 http://www.lauradugmore.co.uk/page4.htm#58076 My wings have been unclipped and Im flying...tweet tweet here I come Join me on twitter www.twitter.comLauraDugmore See you there Laura x 2010-2-9 19:32:16 http://www.lauradugmore.co.uk/page4.htm#56460 Id love to be your friend on myspacewww.myspace.comlauradugmore 2010-1-18 20:41:49 http://www.lauradugmore.co.uk/page4.htm#56455 Im off Skiing soon had my first lesson the other day so I am ready to go.

Laura has spent many years working her way up the ladder of success and with a new band in place things are finally taking off for her. When she came in to record a special acoustic performance for BBC Radio Devon Introducing she told me just how much has changed for her over the past 12 months. I wanted to find some focus and Jay Stuart her band members and I began to experiment with old recordings and found a set that we were happy with she said. She is certainly a natural when it comes to performing I sensed straight away that she is completely at one with her music right now and her sound is exactly where she wants it. Its not just the sound that has changed for Laura as she explained. I feel a lot more confident it was really great meet... 2009-12-9 18:54:37 http://www.lauradugmore.co.uk/page4.htm#53507 The E.P is fininshed...well the recording part is anyway...to fund the last song being recorded Broken Love I sold my car Id like to say this was a sad day parting with a beloved loyal friend who has been with me through miles and miles. Id like to say I was holding back the tears as I waved off my little peugeot 106. Id like to say that I will miss her she was a female but the truth is I cant....the minute I bought her she broke down repeatedly at very inconvenient stages in my life moving house going to gigs attending job interviews the list goes on. So it was on a joyful rainy saturday that I waved GOODBYE PEUGEOT HELLO E.P Laura x 2009-11-27 17:53:24 http://www.lauradugmore.co.uk/page4.htm#52760 I stumbled across the Rusty Bike pub a few weekends ago when on a cold october evening my brother came to visit so we ventured out looking for a new place to go and enjoy the weekend If you live in or near Exeter many of you may know The Fat Pig pub...well they have expanded and The Rusty Bike is a good as maybe even bettererh mainly because it is nearer for me. RUSTY SUNDAYS is every other 2nd sunday of the month 11am11pm and includes sunday roasts papers board games live music from 4pm and foosball This week I will be playing a short set from 4pm as well as music from Harry Woodrow RenX and The Sidewalk Anthem. So if you fancy a cosy hideaway from the blustering gales then you know where to come Well we all really enjoyed playing at the Rusty Bike. Stuart was a legend lending me his acoustic guitar half way through the set as mine decided to cut out dodgy pick up note to selfget this fixed as duck tape can only solve but a few things Jay trumpeted and drummed wonderfully and we... 2009-11-17 17:14:26 http://www.lauradugmore.co.uk/page4.htm#52577 Its been a busy month working recording and working some more so I thought its about time for an EP Update. I went back to record the vocals for 4 of the tracks a few weeks ago. Jaime la Vie Gone Grass is Greener Mr Please. Now everything is in place apart from a few string parts Im working on. The fifth track Broken Love is the next track to work on which will be next week All in all its going well and enjoying the process. Also this month I have found a new wave of inspiration so have started to get the old pen and paper out to write some new material. 2009-11-14 18:03:11 http://www.lauradugmore.co.uk/page4.htm#52567 YesI have finally booked to go skiing for the very first time Last year everyone set off but me boo so this year it was a MUST A few more MUSTS to remember will be MUST not break my legs MUST not break my arms MUST definately not break my fingers. I like playing the guitar and piano too much MUST get some passport photos done for ski pass. Number 4 is a tricky must. Passport photos are so soulless. No smiling no emotions no hiding your eyes. I am very bad at keeping a straight emotionless face. A few years ago when I left university 2006 I needed to update my passport. I also needed to get a job. After searching on websites I stumbled across auditions for being a resident musician at a Ski Resort in Val dIs232re. Brilliant. The job boasted of free accommodation free ski and lift pass free ski hire plus a wage What could be wrong with it I hastily rang up and sent through my CV and got offered a phone interview. I got offered the job before the phone interview had even reall... 2009-11-14 13:00:17 http://www.lauradugmore.co.uk/page4.htm#50909 Recording went really well although had to stop earlier than planned as we were competing with some thrash metal sounds from the rehearsal room I wonder what my music would sound like with some guns and roses elements Got everything laid down but vocals this week 2009-10-19 09:11:30
