On day two everyone seems more relaxed, and the groups fall right into place. My day is spent mostly on the Mac working on emails shows and lyrics. There was time for a walk up the hill into the fields to hang out with some sheep and a few Herons that flew above me in […]
Day three started with a meditation in the barn, i told my cottage in the country story followed by One in a Million by Chris Wood, this was intended to inspire and wake up some new avenues of inspiration, instead it sent most people in to tears, i was moved that they were moved, we […]
The Virgin train to Liverpool was on time and swift, i had just enough time to reflect and think about my week, and the day ahead. Once in town i meet up with Emma and her two lovely children Ester of the Kindle and Joseph. He is a great singer but more than that he […]
Everyone arrived last night and off we went to the local pub in Sheep Wash, a sleepy village with a lovely sleepy pub. Easter Sunday. The first night is always interesting as people get to know one another, and some of the old hands on deck helped oil the wheels of friendship. Haroula had flown […]

I went to see Peter Kay at the 02 as an end of tour treat, its my third time and my sides were bursting with laughter even though most of the jokes i knew. He looked after Gordon and the girls well, he is so lovely and one of the humblest people i have ever […]
Cool undiscovered hippy boho enclave in the Yorkshire Dales. Lovely gig and people. All in the car for the longer than expected drive from Glasgow down the country to the scone filled plaza of Hebden Bridge. Our soundcheck took a record hour and half and diner in the near by Thai was even slower but […]
What a way to end a tour, a 24 piece choir and a take away curry to die for, and i almost did. This venue is so special it being in a bus garage, the stage and the sound were all perfect. Thank you Chris. The choir from Sharp, a local rehab i know well, […]
