I’m on the train to Cromford, via Derby. Tonight I’m playing an adventure gig, meaning I have no idea what to expect, even less so than usual, at a venue called The Boat’s Inn. It’s the last day of May, which has been a rather special month in my books. I’ve just finished my debut …

I will always have a soft spot for Liverpool. As rough and rowdy as the exterior may be, this is a town where people take their music seriously. Sunday before last I played a show at Sound, a new music venue on Duke Street. With a packed room of, shall we say, jolly people, I …
I have got to wake up. I’m so very tired. All the shows on this tour have been going really well with only two show were the audience wasn’t great in numbers (you were all great in all other aspects!), but I feel like this tour is just passing over me and I just happen …
Plenty of time to catch up on my writing… I’m enjoying a seven and a half hour bus ride back to London from Carlisle. Just as well I have a ton of music on this laptop (I’m currently typing away to the soundtrack of fear and loathing in Las Vegas – makes me chuckle). Let’s …

We’re back no the rails, currently en route from Leeds to Liverpool (traveling sideways is always a tricky business in this country!). Last night I had the pleasure of kicking off my record release tour with a show at Oporto, hosted by Communion Leeds. The line-up was rather amazing; top of the bill were Story …

Hello Everybody! Here’s hoping you’ve all enjoyed your Easter holiday. I’ve spent the day signing, packaging and posting the pre-release orders to my debut album ‘The Real Thing’. I’d like to thank all of you who trusted me enough to pre-order a copy: Yours is now on its way to you! Please do let me …
It’s an odd thing, how one day you’re visited by a passing thought, a musing perhaps. 12 months later this idea you considered fleeting turns into something tangible. In just a couple of weeks, I’m releasing my very first album. I’m also releasing a single to go with the album release and I’ve decided to …
Well, well! I’m back in London town after an amazing two weeks in Germany. The last two shows were very different, but equally enjoyable. The penultimate gig of the tour was in the fairy-tale land of Marburg. As I struggled uphill along those narrow and winding alleys, I constantly had to stop, firstly to ask …
