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 …

Back on the train, this time from Tübingen to Marburg (from one university town to another) with two changes at Stuttgart and Frankfurt. Tonight I’m playing my very first private party gig – let’s see how that goes! That strange sensation of arriving at a train station of an unfamiliar place and just walking aimlessly …

I’m sleepy! I blame yesterday’s 5:30 start to the day… but more on that in a moment… Right now I’m on a southbound train from Düsseldorf to Tübingen, which will take a good four hours, so time for coffee and laptop action. No sheep in the German countryside, just snowy fields and tiny villages zooming …

Berlin came and went, as it always does, too quickly. My gig at the Junction Bar on Monday evening was followed by two free days in my former home town, spent with those people I love the most and see too little of. The gig itself was a mad two-hour affair (where did the time …
