Charity Show This Friday & Music Video…
Hey everyone, Hope you’re all well. This is the 4th day on the trot that I haven’t left the house. The reason for this? Yep, that’ll keep you off your feet for a while! I’m spending my days filling out ISRC codes for the new album (very boring) and watching reruns of Only fools and [...]

I’ve only gone and done it…
Hello everyone, This Saturday I swam the Solent from mainland England to the Isle of Wight. I don’t normally blow my own trumpet, due to both my character and my ribs. But I am uber happy with myself for achieving this. I might go so far as to say that I’m even a little smug. [...]
