Tales from the rales – thank you, cake, BBC, Standon Calling… and more cake.
I intended this next post to be about Standon Calling and the BBC Introducing session, but last night I played a show at the Finsbury in north London for the folks of ‘Stop Look Listen’ and now I feel I need to share a couple of thoughts circulating this overcrowded head of mine. Something has …

Tales from the Rails – Living Room Tour – Aliens and clever people
So I’m terribly behind on reporting on my living room gigs, sorry about that! I’ve been mostly sleepy on trains, writing being replaced by staring out of the window, counting sheep (which, as we all know, doesn’t help). In the spirit of “Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start” (yes, …

Why hello there! In a couple of hours I’ll be back on the rails, this time to rural Hertfordshire for the first of my UK living room dates. For now, I thought I’d take a few minutes to share a couple of newsworthy cool things that have happened over the last few of days. I’ve …

Last night was the second show of my first ever living room tour. Two days prior to …

Tales from the Rails – Champaign, Confetti and the last day of May
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 …

Boss Gig Like
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 …
Tales from the Rails (London): Small Sparkly Moments and of course it was Yellow Submarine
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 …
