Below are just some of the reviews from fans about the tour and the book, i feel so proud and i print these not to blow any of my own trumpets, and i have a few, but to display that after all the hard work and worry its all worth it if you work it. […]
The last time my daughter Natalie and I went to the theatre was possibly to see Postman Pat, early in the tour I took her to see Bruce Springsteen. A high ticket price and for a good reason, it was emotional and educational, I knew little about the big man. Bruce mostly read from his […]
I open one eye and see that the clock is close to saying its seven am. Time to get up. Lou is already on the school run. I waddle into first gear and take my bags to the front door, have a small breakfast and take in the grey clouds outside on the downs. In […]
And so we moved on from Newcastle up to Scotland and back down to the Albert Hall. Glasgow was without doubt the best show of the UK tour, I could feel the love and the verve of the evening as I walked out on the stage it was so electrifying. Liverpool was really good too, […]
Two weeks roll by and it seems like time pulls the carpet from beneath the marching crowd. The shows get better, the band gets better and the set falls further into a place, a bit up and a bit down a sum of three halfs. In the end we all get what we need. Including […]
Milton Keynes. Cardiff, Brighton and Bristol, and last night i think we were in Leister. A week rolled by and the sun finally shines on the downs as the Sunday tikka ticks by. Last night a four hour drive home from what was the best show of the tour so far, the set seemed to […]
Dublin, the ferry across with Gary our tour manager and Simon (on drums) having breakfast as the winds lashed the side of the ship, it was everything i dreamt of being in a band. I had made it. Two toast, beans eggs and bacon, a mans morning. Before the first show i went to get […]
Being back in camp Squeeze brings with it so many complicated feelings, and chord sheets. After a week on the fret board I found myself overloaded with driving a lack of sleep and the songs. However with Yolanda and Steve in the band there is a lift to the walk, and my parts fall into […]
Losing someone as talented as Walter Becker is incredibly sad. I came to Steely Dan later in life but once the intrigue penny dropped i was in love with all of their albums. Great partnerships are very hard to come by but this one was up there with the best. Harmony and quality shine through, […]
Today a large truck arrived outside of my house, the driver had a pallet of books but he could not get them anywhere near the front door. I have a sprained wrist, i showed him my wrist in bandage and he just shrugged saying, i should call a friend. I spent the afternoon loading them […]
