I was tired and grumpy the drive was the last thing I really needed but jobs to do and all that, off up the motorway to a club on a roundabout near Manchester. The back stage was a bar with a bar man attached, and some take away food, Chinese which looked like it had […]
Back up the country this time to the other side to just below Hull, a gig in the Ropery. I really like it here, Mark is a lovely man, he who promotes, and the curry back stage is always a winer, and it was. The room was almost full and the journey seemed easy it […]
I woke up with bird shit all over my car, so i headed over to Hull to have it cleaned off, and then happily drove over to Selby. A pleasant enough town, very quite for a Sunday. I walked around in a daze hungover from little sleep and nothing to eat for breakfast. I was […]
The day after and its all done, all that lovely hard work the expectation and the glamour of it all, a new shirt, new pants. Its all behind me now. Time is a banana skin, it sends you skating off in all directions and before you know it you are on your arse. Nothing to […]
A day of complete happiness and love, breakfast, so nice. So inspired. A run through at the Albert Hall, so wonderful, and the Orchestra were as one, a whole soup of love. We spent most of the day running the songs and doing interviews, and taking time to work with the teenagers who are everything […]

Taking public transport is fun, i simply walk to Bond street and get an underground train that takes me to North Greenwhich and from here i walk along the river to the studio. Blue sky thinking. There are so many faces in this world, how do we all look so differerent its a miracle. I […]
This time i working on my own set as i have some solo shows to enjoy, and i do. Boo Dorie and David Saw are a fabulous team of people and together we sound very special. In the set some new songs, always a challange. My head spins between Squeeze and Me songs, then its […]
Today we recorded a Radio Four show for Arthur, it was a fund few hours churning through some songs in a small kitchen in Balham London. The show is recorded in his flat. Met some nice people there, good to see Peter Curren and his two mates, i sat in and worked on my songs. […]
