Hey folks,
Here is the music video for the new single, What’s Love Without Meaning?
It was shot on a rainy afternoon in Manchester. I hope you enjoy it!
The single is available on CD on Monday (December 17th) from Eromenos Media.
The single is available for download from Amazon, itunes etc, on Friday 21st December.
Both formats contain two B sides. An acoustic version of Remember Who You Are and a brand new live acoustic track called Elephants Don’t Eat Seeds.
Hope you like it! x
Hello all,
Next week I’m travelling up to Manchester for the week, to film two music videos for the album.
We’re putting one together for the next single, What’s love without meaning, and Paint the town red.
The ideas for them are pretty cool, and quirky. I’m hoping you’ll like what you see! Hopefully they’ll be put together and available to view, in November.
Don’t forget the album is now available for download from all the major outlets. Itunes, Amazon, etc…
If you want a physical copy of the album, click here.

Hey everyone,
Sorry I’ve been a bit of an absentee in the last couple of weeks. I’m still recovering from my injury at home at the moment. I’m getting better at getting around though. I still can’t walk so I’m either in a wheel chair, or on crutches.
Here is a couple of reminders why.
I’ll have triceps like Geoff Capes by the time I’mm off the crutches. You don’t know who Geoff Capes is? You should. It’s what google is there for. đŸ˜‰
I’m off the heavy painkillers now so I’m beginning to function a lot better. That stuff masks the pain but sends you into orbit. I’m happy to be a little bit closer to Earth now.
Alongside the music, I am actually training to be a Personal Trainer. I know it’s not particularly rock and roll, but we all have to pay the bills. These days, 98% of music is stolen. That only leaves a few little crumbs for us poor musicians to scrap for. I need a regular wage like everyone else.
I am doing quite well in my training and have flown through the first few exams. I was marked at 485 out of 500. Round of applause? Â Problem is because I can’t walk, I can’t do my practical exams. Hopefully it won’t be too long.
I’ve also been setting up a few things for when I am up and about. Obviously I can’t tour yet, and I am also waiting on my album to be mastered. But once I’m walking, and it’s done, I’m on the road again. I can’t wait.
I don’t have secure dates yet but there will be plenty of shows across the UK, Europe and hopefully, further afield. There should be a few Festivals in there too.
As soon as I have contracts signed, I’ll let you know the dates.
The album, A Brand New Battle, is being mixed and mastered at the moment. I was sent a mix of Beat Up today. It sounds awesome. I’m very excited.
The first single off the album is available now. You can download Remember Who You Are by clicking here.
The video for the track is creeping towards the 50,000 mark on youtube. Thanks a lot for your support. It really is appreciated.

Hello,
I’m writing from my hospital bed. It’s been a weird couple of days in the life of moi.
First of all, a massive thank you to everyone that has checked out the video for ‘Remember who you are’. The track has now received over 21,000 views in it’s first three days online. That’s not bad going!
If you haven’t already checked out the video…here it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWRDhtYMOKY
The track will be available for download from itunes, amazon, play.com etc in the next few weeks. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s up.
The rest or the album is currently being mixed and mastered and will also be available within the next month or so. The record, ‘A brand new battle’ features ‘Remember who you are’, as well as eleven more brand new tunes.
Again, I’ll keep you up to date with progress.
As I said earlier, I am writing from my hospital bed. So if there are any spelling mistakes, blame the copious amounts of morphine I have flowing through my system.
This is why I am here.
I’ve been pieced back together with 7 screws, a plate and a bone graph. That will teach me for playing football won’t it!?
I get out of hospital and it’s a long recovery of 6 weeks in a wheelchair, then 6 weeks using crutches. But what this extra time does mean, is plenty of booking gigs.
I’ll be booking up UK and European tours for July and August.
It’s all about being positive, and that’s not just the medication talking!
Peace. x
Hey folks,
Here is the music video for my next single, Remember who you are.

The lyrics are available here.
Massive thanks to Miki, Sean, Guy, Tim, Claydon, and everyone involved in making this video.
I hope you enjoy.

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 horses.
On Friday morning I go back into hospital where they make the final decision whether or not to operate. I’m hoping not for two reasons.
1. It’ll bloody hurt having my bone marrow drilled out and an titanium rod put down the middle of my Tibia.
2. I have a gig on Friday night.
Now normally I wouldn’t be so eager to be sat playing a guitar in a wheel chair while my heavily plastered leg is elevated, and exposed in a room full of drunk people. But this is for charity.
In May my big sister is climbing Ben Nevis in Scotland, for alzheimers charities. I figure, if she can climb the highest mountain in Britain, I can play some songs while off my tits on a cocktail of Tramadol, and German lager.
The show is at The Wight Rock Bar in Ryde, Isle of Wight. Doors open at 8pm and entry is only £2. All the cash goes towards my sisters charity fund. So please be a good sport and come along!
I’ll (touch wood) be playing about 8:30 with Tim Pritchard. Then This Way Up and Bear Attack Club will be finishing off the evening.
3 bands for £2? Fucking bargain!
The music video for ‘Remember Who You Are’ is nearly completed. I have seen a sneak peak and it looks awesome. It should be ready by the end of next week.
I can’t wait to get it out there and let you all have a watch. I hope you’ll enjoy it!!!
Right, I have some whiskey. It’s a treat. xxx
Hello all!
Hope you’re all good and stuff. It’s Valentines Day so I hope you got some nice gifts. Chocolates, flowers, condoms, whatever floats your boat. I didn’t get a card this year. But then why would I? According to this gentleman, I don’t even know my own sexuality.
This guy has dedicated an entire webpage, and VIDEO to the fact that I am gay. That’s some serious dedication I must admit. His proof is pretty overwhelming. Please check out the video for yourself.
His name is Chris Constantine and according to the BBC, he has ‘serious mental health issues’.
That was an interesting watch for me yesterday I must admit!
Anyway, back down to planet Earth.
I have completed the music video for ‘Remember who you are’. It’s now being put together and special affects added. I can’t wait for you to see it.
I won’t give too much away but in the space of 3 hours I blew out a girlfriend, got hit by a car, ran through a graveyard, and attended my own funeral. Just another normal day in North London.
As soon as it’s completed, the link will be spread far and wide. Much like my legs are as I’m enjoying another mans company.
Do you reckon Mr Constantine has a secret fantasy about me? Maybe.
On March the 9th I’m playing my last show on the Isle of Wight for quite some time. At the end of March I’m moving back up to Derby and won’t be around the South coast any more.
The show on the 9th is at The Wight Rock Bar in Ryde. It’s to raise money for my Sisters charity climb of Ben Nevis.
Bear Attack Club, This Way Up and myself will be performing. All for a mere £2. Doors open at 8pm. Get your arse there! đŸ™‚
I shouldn’t really be talking about arses. I’ll give you all ideas.

Hello all,
You know sometimes you see or hear something and you just have to share it? Well this is one of those moments. You have to check this out.
Watch from about the 8 minute mark. One word ‘WOW’…

Enjoy. x
Oi!
I am off up to the smokey metropolis we call London on the 9th of Feb, to start work on a music video for ‘Remember Who You Are’, The song was written to go alongside the release of my Dads book, of the same name.
The video will be shown on a massive screen behind me and my band when we play at Wembley Arena in October. Yes, you did read that correctly, Wembley Arena.
The idea for the video is wicked. It’s really thought provoking and interesting. I do hope you’ll like it!
I’ll get it up here as soon as I can. x
