The ever so helpful staff at The Junction helped us put the show together with a screen, mine has gone missing in the move last year. A dressing room curry and some frantic running through the songs. On stage it felt good to be back, i felt proud to be there with such great people […]
Tonight was ok, not a great Brighton show but a good one, the good people were all ears and we filled them, the set is getting better with each run, sounding tight and wonderful. It was good to see so many friends there, Emma was there tonight, we hardly see each other these days, its […]
Up and in the cab at 5am on the Eurostar to Lille, trapped next to some men in suitstalking non stop about work, boring. One man talked non stop for what seemed like an hour, the other chaps seemed to fall asleep only to spring back and join in, taking over and passing the verbal […]
Im giddy with travel, 5am starts are doing me in. Driving to the gig today i almost fell asleep, but im still here so i must have stayed awake. The gig was great, i really enjoyed it, we played well and did the whole thing without the films. Pizza and more. The Moon tonight was […]
Up at Glenn’s studio there is work going on, new desks being bolted into place, it seems exciting and even more so when we all turn up to run the songs for the Tuesday set. Everyone seems in a Sunday mood, we sort of swim slowly over the songs and manage to make sense of […]

Model making, sorting out my LPs wtching black and White films. As I got older and joined a band weekends seemed less exciting but nevertheless there […]

Breakfast as ever around the corner in Cocorimo and then some domestic changing off the strings, my guitar now sounds like a new born bird. A bit of rehearsals and then to do BBC Radio Five live with Glenn. On the Richard Bacon show we performed a few songs and plugged the Albert Hall show […]
This morning i spent some time talking with a lovely lady from Cunard about me working on board the Queen Mary in May, not as a butler but as a songwriting coach. Im excited, my sea legs are steady so it should be an easy trip to New York where i hope to play some […]
