News and Views - (when I have the time)
blogspot - Cardboard Music
A new blog that I've put up for ease of leaving info and news about (my) everyday life as a musician, some thoughts on gigs I've seen, reviews I've read, things that people have said. If you're interested just follow this ... blog. However, all main news about Joe Higham's groups, dates, CDs etc will still be published here!
2010 - The Wrong Object
I've been invited to join The Wrong Object, the Belgian based prog rock group run by Michel Delville. The Wrong Object has been working with various ex-Canterbury scene musicians, notably Elton Dean, who recorded his last CD with the group before his untimely death. Other collaberations have included Annie Whitehouse and Harry Beckett. The CDs can be found via their website (see below) of which most are on Moonjune Records, if you Google that you'll come up with their website NO problem. There's plenty more interesting groups to be found on there also. I'll keep you posted on the new dates, but if you check out the gigs page you can see when and where we're playing.

After all these years tapes have been sitting in the vaults from two nights recorded at the Brussels Botanique. Many people have asked if the tapes have ever been released. Well the answer now is ...... they're on their way! We've finally transfered the music onto digital format and are in the process of deciding what to release (over 2CDs worth of music). For all those interested follow up some of these links to keep an eye on what's happening.
