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.

It's taken me a little while to curve my spending and to adjust from 'holiday' mode to 'tour' mode. In this regards perhaps Copenhagen wasn't such a great place to st

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
