    Tis The Season...

    Tis the season... And so December is upon us but unfortunately so is the cold. The end of the year is fast approaching and Christmas is just around the corner. November flew by in the blink of an eye and December looks to be going the same way. The two gigs that I played last month, one at Leadbelly's in Canada Water, and at Luna Lounge in Leytonstone, both went by without too much of a hitch, and were a good chance to put my new 'one man band' set up through it's paces. I st

    The Beginning of Something Big

    October has been a month of gigs, meetings, and rehearsing for me. In other words pretty busy in a funny sort of way. And a month that seems to have lasted for ever, but productive never the less. It all kicked off with a last minute gig at Folking Around. This monthly Folk night has built up a quite a reputation for putting on great live acts in kingston upon Thames, and it's always a pleasure to be invited to play there. Woody's bar who host the night are always very welcom

    On the Road again

    I write this, sat in a hostel in Copenhagen on the first day of my tour filled with anticipation for the journey ahead. The run up to the tour has been different than previous years, I must admit. I was so busy with promoting my new album (City of Streets) that I left booking the tour till quite late. In fact it seems only yesterday I was walking through the snowy streets of Oslo on my way to a mixing session. I've also had a lot of unsingersongwritery things going on, in the

    European Tour dates announced

    And so with summer just around the corner it only seems right that I should get out of London for a couple of months and head off to Europe, especially with all this Brexit and snap election business going on. This will be my second foray into the EU on tour. Back in 2015 I spent a career defining couple of months there and came down with a serious case of the travel bug! You can read all about that adventure in my previous blog post: 'What happens on Tour stays on tour' This

    The heaven and hell of recording

    If somethings hard then it's usually worth doing, and this is especially true of the recording process. I can't say that it's been easy recording my new album 'City of Streets', it's been tough to say the least, but I can say that it has been rewarding if not a totally enjoyable experience. Although I'm only half way though the process, I've learnt so much that I already feel I'm better at my craft than I was when I began this journey. The recording in earnest is now finished

    New Year, New Goals...

    2017 promises to be quite a year if things go according to plan, with some big things lined up for the future. The biggest, and most immediate, being the recording of a new album. It's something that I've been working on for a while my last album 'Broken Man', released in 2015, seems like an eon ago. And a lot has changed since those two weeks in April that I sat down in my home studio and recorded the 12 songs that made up the release. It seems amazing to look back now that
