Good day to you!

As I'm closing in on 70% of my target, I thought i'd update you on the plans...

Well, it's certainly changed a little bit since I first came up with the plan, but it's all becoming…

Hey.... 

So you may have spotted that I've started using a website called Twitch to do my music live streams. A move away from Facebook, which might seem a bit silly when you factor that the majority of people who…

Hey.... 

So I know it's been a while since I last posted here. It was in fact the day I reached £10,000 for my Abbey Road fund that prompted me to write... Well just before Christmas we reached £20,000 and…

In April I announced that my plans for my next album are to record at the legendary Studio Two  at Abbey Road Studios. This had been planned ever since I was in Nashville recording 'Tennessee and 48th' - when I…

This is going to be a long post, but I've got a lot to say on this, it's a beaut of a video and my favourite song that I've ever been part of making. 

Why is this song…

I quite often get asked if it's easy to release a record. The answer is no, but it's hard to get people to listen. Potentially this could be a very boring blog and no doubt I'll gloss over a few…

Hello! 

It's been a while. I've been quite quiet since getting back from Nashville, taking my time to digest everything that happened and get everything ready to start the next push towards releasing the album and beyond.

The…

I arrived home from Nashville just over 5 weeks ago now and as of yet, I've not posted what I'm doing next so I thought I should do a little update. 

The whole recording process went so much better…

So I made it... 

It was just over a year ago that I came up with a plan to record my next album in Nashville in order to celebrate my tenth anniversary of being a full time professional musician…

Germany Tour Day 10 – Munich (well Ottobrunn which is just outside of Munich) 

Waking up in Germany is one of the greatest experiences, especially when you're staying with people. Max once again proved to us that Germans know…

Germany Tour Day 9 – Berlin 

We woke up fresh from a good nights sleep in Chemnitz and Martin (the owner of the bar we'd played in the night before who was putting us up for the night) had…

Germany Tour Day 8 – Chemnitz 

Now I know in the last of these posts I said “Same time tomorrow?” – but things happened. In fact, the last few days of the tour were so busy that I’m now…

Germany Tour Day 6 and 7: Liepzig 

Day 6 

We woke up at about 10.30 and today (I’m not sure if it’s because it was a Sunday) Joe didn’t go for a run. However, Mark and Steffi produced…

Germany Tour Day 5 – Fahrradcafe, Hannover 

So we woke up this morning, still unsure about what exactly happened at our gig last night, but positive about today. We woke up at about 10.30 and once again, Brendan provides…

Germany Tour Day 4 – Café Mathilde, Hamburg 

Today was always going to be a bit crazy. We had a late night, my new EP also came out, so I knew I’d have to spend some time promoting that…

Germany Tour Day 3 – Prinz Willy, Kiel 

I didn’t set an alarm today, but I woke up around 9.45 as Joe was getting ready to go for a run. I had to dash out to put some money…

Germany Tour Day 2 – Tonfink, Lubeck. 

My alarm went off this morning at 9.30. I was in a room next to the office for last nights venue, so I was expecting people to start coming in and making…

Waking up at 5am is never fun. I arrived in South London last night as that is where Joe was staying and it made more sense to travel from there to Folkestone than from where I live in West London…

It has been a while since I posted a blog. I've got loads to talk about at the moment, but I haven't had a time to write anything down. 

I'm writing this from a really bad sofa bed in…

February was a silly busy month for me, which is why I've only just got round to writing this post. 

I released my new EP "The Don't Judge This EP By It's Cover EP" last month and if you've…

Last Friday my friend Joe McCorriston had his album launch gig in Lancaster and he asked me to go up and support him, which I was thrilled to do. I set off early and was enjoying my drive listening to…

It's that time of the year when everyone posts their new years resolutions. 

Last year I said that I was going to record 12 different EPs with different artists and a few new ones by me featuring some different…

With all that's going on in the world at the moment I have decided that I need to try and be as positive as I can with all aspects of my life. So this is the first such step. 

…

I know the tour finished last week, but I've still not recovered. I'm missing it massively, it really was great fun - which you may think is odd considering what happened a couple of years ago: 

In October 2014…
