Disaster in December
To be totally honest with you I'm glad to see the back of 2018, the year ended in bit of a disaster really... to say things didn't go according to plan is a bit of an understatement. To begin with things seemed to be going well enough, I had a last practice with my band before recording began, which seemed to go well, and then we went off into the night to have a beer or two, and from that point on wards things seemed to go slightly pear shaped. The next day I was due to have

New Album Underway Soon...
December looks set to become one of my busiest months to date and gets the ball rolling on what is to be a very hectic schedule for me. On the 7th of December I will be locking myself away in the recording studio with my band to finally begin work on my new album 'The Devil Beside Me'. It feels like it's been a long road leading up to this point and so much seems to have happened since I released my last album in 2017, 'City of Streets'. I've been on two European tours, playe

Big news on the horizon
So the big new first... I am happy to announce that I have finally confirmed the dates for recording my new album 'The Devil Beside Me'.

Great Escapes, and great beginnings...
Looking back quite a lot seemed to go down since my last blog post. A trip to Brighton for the Great Escape, finally getting a band together and now a European tour on the horizon. But first what happened in Brighton... For those who don't know 'The Great Escape' is a three day music festival and conference that takes place in Brighton, and what a experience it turned out to be. Hunter S. Thompson famously said: "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long

Summer European Tour Announced
Summer seams just around the corner, even if the weather in London has been terrible of late (how very British of me to bring up the weather) But summer is always an exciting time of the year for me, not only because the of sun being out and the positive effect is has on people, but because summer for me means time to take my music on the road.
Because of the success of last years European tour and the fan-base I'm starting to establish there, it's with fond memories I've d

Exciting Easter News...
Happy Easter! While your chilling over the bank holiday I'd thought I'd let you know what I've been up to for the last month or so... March has been a pretty hectic month for me with some exciting new developments and news on the horizon.
I've finally sat down to work on a new album, and I'm really excited about the direction that it's taking! If you enjoyed my last album 'City of Streets' I just know your gonna love this one. So far the working title is 'The Devil Beside M

A New Perspective?
January might just go down as one of my most productive months and there's no denying it's due largely to giving up the drink and doing dry January. And if February is going to stand a chance of being anywhere near as productive then it will be more of the same... with drinking saved for Holidays and 'weekends off'. And if anything surely this is what a new year is all about. Looking at things from a different angle or perspective and taking a new approach. Because as the fam
