Hey folks,

There appears to have been some issues on the live music front, at this years Bilderberg Fringe Festival.

The speakers and lecturers will all go ahead as planned, but the hotel seems to have a problem with amplified music.

The organisers are currently working with local bars to try and organise some kind of after party, and musical performances.

They need help with sourcing PA equipment in the Watford area. If you can help, email Bilderberg Fest.

I’ll keep you up to date with any developments. Hopefully we can get this sorted as I’d been looking forward to it!

Hey folks,

A few UK full band tour dates are being pieced together for August.

The first has been confirmed on August 7th at The Fulton Arms, in York.

 

The show is completely free.

Hey folks,

On Thursday I went to see the legend that is Steve Conte. He was playing with his band Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth.

Steve emailed me just before the show asking me to learn ‘Pills’ by his original band, the New York Dolls.

The NY Dolls are renowned for being one of the most influential punk bands of all time. So obviously, I was shitting myself, and downing Budvar like it was going out of fashion.

Here is a video my Mrs took on her dog and bone.

Hey everyone,

I’m lucky enough to once again be on the bill, for the Isle of Wight Festival.

I have two slots confirmed, with one or two more to be finalized.

I’m performing on the Life’s A Beach Stage, sponsored by Boxfresh.

I’ll be playing at 5pm on Friday the 14th June, and again at 2pm on Saturday the 15th.

The stage is great, with sand being imported to create a beach, with deckchairs, cocktail bars etc.

As soon as I know any more about other performances at this years festival, I’ll let you know.

Yellow.

I have an acoustic show at the Pitcher & Piano is Derby on Sunday. It’s a nice chilled out afternoon show, with my mates Steve, and Ollie.

It’s totally free and kicks off about 5pm. If you’re bored on Easter Sunday, and fancy a beer, pop in. It’s on Friar Gate.

I have a real taste for playing again after last weekends Hampton Court show. It’s been killing me having to sit on my arse, for what feels like forever.

I’m booking up a Scottish Island tour at the moment with my wee pal, Jono. It’s been a bit of a nightmare. This morning I had a phone slammed on me.

I think the English accent is a bit of a turn off. I may have to affect a Scottish one when I call up again.

We have shows on Skye, South Uist, Islay & Tiree.

Fingers crossed.

This summer is starting to look good! x

Hey all,

Hope you all had a wicked holiday period, and the boredom of ‘real life’ hasn’t got you all too down.

My 2013 has, up until today, consisted of nothing more than detoxing and hitting the gym. It’s very easy in this line of ‘work’ to fall into a junk food and booze lifestyle. I’m starting the year by kicking both of them to the kerb. No booze for 8 days, and no unhealthy food either.

I’d like to say I feel better for it, but insomnia, and toothache have put pay to any feelings of healthiness I may have expected.

Anyway, today was the first music related thing I did. I had to travel to Manchester to meet a music journalist and lay myself bare. I always worry about interviews, as often, the piece has already been written prior to meeting. They then fit the words around their preconception. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

This chap seemed like a very nice bloke, so my weariness seemed unfounded. But, when you’ve been burned and all that! The amount of times I’ve picked up papers, or looked at online fanzines and thought, I never fucking said that!!!

Like I said though, nice bloke this time. Phew!

I have a really busy year, with plenty of tours and live appearances. We’re just waiting for a lot of confirmations, and the gig page will fill up accordingly.

Bizarrely, I’m also playing a large supporting role in a film, due to be shot this year. In fact, the America based part of the film may even be being filmed already. I’m not sure. I’m an ‘orrible English bastard in it anyway. Looking forward to breaking my acting teeth.

Hope you’re all well. x
