Thank you so much to everyone who bought one of my limited edition CDs. They’re all sold out now except one….
I held back CD #5 of 125 – it’s entitled “This Is The Only One That Contains Cash” and I’m auctioning it off on eBay to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. You can find the listing here.
If you haven’t yet bought one, or even if you have, please do get bidding to buy it. It’s a truly excellent cause – find out more about the Teenage Cancer Trust here.… Read the rest
I’ve been hard at work writing new tunes for the new album.
I reckon it’s actually going really well, but as many writers might tell you it’s impossible to get any real perspective. Basically, I think I’m writing some great tunes, but they could be rubbish – I’m too wrapped up in them to know. Kind of a scary thought to be honest…
New tracks so far are Back To The Light, Be With Me Once More, Sideline and most recently All And Forever which I’m currently in love with!… Read the rest
I’m thrilled to report that the wonderful Phill Brown will be at the helm for the new album. His incomparable CV stretches back to Bob Marley and Led Zep, through Robert Palmer and Talk Talk, to Faithless and Zero 7.
This doesn’t mean the album will necessarily be any good of course – but it’s great to know it’ll be recorded by one of the industry’s true experts.… Read the rest
So it feels like it’s time to step things up wouldn’t you say?
Although nothing’s finalised, I’m likely to be heading into the studio this winter to record a full-length debut album. We’re going to do this properly with a phenomenal producer/engineering team, some incredible musicians, and importantly – some press and marketing spend to make sure people hear about it.

Thank you so much to nearly 100 people who came down to see me on Friday. I really hope everyone enjoyed the gig.
I still have some CDs left, so if you’d like a copy you can now order one online. All you have to do is visit this page and select the CD you’d like!
Thanks also to everyone who’s downloaded the singles this summer – it’s been a real success.
Ok. The last single in this series is the familiar set-closer ‘I Saw Something’. If you’re new to this – just click on the little ‘download’ button in the right column. It’ll add the track to your shopping cart – a misleading title considering it’s FREE…
I really hope you’ve enjoyed this series of single downloads. I’d urge you to come down to a very special night in London on Friday 18th September where I’m selling 100 VERY limited edition copies of the singles on CD. There are still a handful of £5 tickets left to buy from this site, or message me to get on the £6 guestlist. Be there!
This has all been a stepping stone to some bigger and better things in the pipeline. More details coming soon…
I’m delving deeper and deeper into the murky world of Twitter.
Unfortunately, very few people I know use it regularly, so I’m largely talking to myself. But if you happen to have an account, do come join me. We can laugh and play together, rolling in the snow like young lovers.
Just click on the Twitter button on the top right, or click here. Or here. Or any part of this phrase.… Read the rest
I’m going to hand-make 100 unique limited-edition CDs of this summer’s singles. Each one will be designed, doodled, numbered and signed completely differently. There’ll even be a bonus track not yet released.
There’s only one way to get one – you’ll have to be at my launch gig at The Underbelly, Hoxton, London on the 18th September 2009. They’ll all go, so don’t miss it.
Get your tickets here – They’re cheaper the earlier you do it. The first tickets are just £3, but they’ll go up to £6 if you hang around.
I really hope you can make it. It’ll be a really special night.
Sometimes when you write a song it starts going somewhere different and you just have to follow it. What I’m trying to say is – I’ve accidentally written a song for Shakira.
It’s called Now You’re Here and if you’d like to download it – just click the link in the download section on the right. It’s free or you can pay for it – up to you.
Only one more single to go in this series now! It should be out in a coupla weeks.
PS – If you know Shakira personally, do feel free to suggest a collaboration between us. Perhaps in the music video she could be trying to distract me from my guitar playing? Many have tried and failed…… Read the rest
On Thursday 27th August I’ll be playing a gig at The Water Rats Theatre in Kings Cross – supporting the wonderful Right Away, Great Captain!
If you’d like to come along make sure you send me a message with your name so I can add you to the cheap list. That gets you in for £5 if you arrive before 7:45pm. After that it’s £10. I’m on at 8:15pm.
