September 2008
OK so it's been a while - but
there's been a lot happening.
In addition to Aubrey's work as a session and corporate singer he has taken on a
new management & PR company. Castaldi inc. has been responsible for some the
music industry's biggest names, but we're not going to name drop here. The album
is back on track and we advise you to keep coming back to learn about the
updates. Also don't forget to sign up for the news-letter as it's the only way
you will be informed of up and coming gigs as we no longer post them on the
site.
September 16th 2007 -
All change!
After a number of
setbacks (mainly thanks to the inland revenue (you bastards), the writing of the
album is all but finished.
However, there will now be a period of recording and mixing and re-organisation
of the website. So things will be quiet for a while. Watch this space for more
news.

New album well underway – But you choose the
track list!!!
Aubrey
Parsons is currently working on a new album of mainly original tracks with a few
‘cover’ versions of songs by The Stereophonics, Midge Ure, The Alarm, & Peter
Gabriel.
”I’ve decided it’s time to let the world know what I’m thinking during the
middle of my life.” says Aubrey.
”Every track on the album speaks from my heart in one way or another. The
original tracks speak of certain parts of my life, and the cover tracks remind
me of some of my milestones, like my first ever fumbled kiss at a school disco
or the first time I saw a band that sent shivers up my spine.”
The finished album will contain 14 tracks, but we need your help in choosing the
tracks. Please visit the website and email us telling us which songs you would
like to see on the album. Every person who emails will receive a free copy
of the album when it is released later this year. Please make sure you send
your choice of favorite songs and your details.
The cover songs on the album have been re-worked to give a ‘big band’ flavor to
the music introducing a new musical angle to some classic tunes. Aubrey has also
managed to enlist help from each of the bands who songs he has covered. The
album is being produced by Gary ‘Gee Man’ Bromham who has, amongst others,
collaborated, co-written and produced with George Michael and Sheryl Crow. The
arrangements have been put together with Colin Edwards and Midge Ure.
October 9th 2006 - Big in Japan!
So it seems that not only am I big (according to
my jean size) all over, but I'm now MASSIVE in Japan. Although it's not
necessarily for the right reasons... I recently noticed a huge increase in the
number of hits to this site and the sister site:
www.aubreyparsons.com. On investigation, I found nearly 10,000 hits
per day were coming from a Japanese website and forum. After digging a little
further I discovered that this site is a GAY Japanese website. For some reason
they have latched onto me as a Gay icon and I've received over 10,000 downloads
of my version of Bui Doi. If only the little buggers were paying a pink Yen for
every download. I have to say the thought of all those guys 'turning Japanese'
doesn't exactly do it for me. Still, my wife always said that she thought I was
gay - she should know I guess.
October 3rd 2006 - The Songs
The album, if you can call it that, is very much in its
writing stage at the moment. However I have decided to
post up the work in progress as and when I write the
songs.
I would love to hear your feedback - let me know what
you do, and most probably don't, like.
As well as posting the songs, I will post the lyrics,
guitar tab and the reasons behind the songs.
If you would like MyDash to perform in your living room
- get in touch.
October 2nd 2006 - Web Launch
Well here it is, the first, and hopefully not the last, website dedicated to
the MyDash project. Hope you like it.
