Summer tour 2017 Vlog
I’m BACK! In March, I got married. In May I recorded an album, mainly on Sundays. In June, I went to the states, went on honeymoon (otherwise known as patient husband waiting while I listened to mixes John Wills the wonderful producer sent me) and did ninja guitar training which was awesome. In July, I…
Final updates on the album
It was a wonderful privilege to have the opportunity to record this album, and it was brilliant recording it with John. I’ve worked with a few different producers and been very fortunate in the calibre of person I was able to collaborate with. John has a way of having high expectations for a project but…
Fun times recording with John Wills and Jem
Jem, ace drummer, bosom old friend, and now hip successful uber muso touring with Roisin Murphy of Moloko and THURSTON MOORE, (yes, I just name-dropped my pal and colleague also playing drums for THURSTON MOORE), found time outside his packed hip schedule to come and record the drums for some of the album tracks.

Chanson tour with Brigid Kaelin

Hosts were incredibly kind, audiences were lovely and welcoming; gigs were almost all sold out and standing room only-so it’s a very big THANK…
What to do if you want a booker or a manager
I’ve just spent the day at #widedays2014, the annual music industry conference get-together organised by Olaf Furniss and Michael Lambert of Born to be Wide. I also managed to get a chat with one or two of the panellists after, and it was really good to get their good vibes and hear their perspectives. Scott…
