After the launch...
Thank you everyone who attended the launch of Honest Soul at Thames Side Brewery on Sunday 29th September!
As well as playing songs from the album - all except the secret tracks, which can only be heard on the CD or Bandcamp digital edition - we also covered Bob Dylan's 'Every Grain of Sand' with a country flavour, and a song by an artist who has had a huge impact on me, John Martyn; as I said on the night, one of the first ever shows I performed at was an acoustic night called 'Solid Air' in Bournemouth. There are doubtless some copyright issues there, but nonetheless, that album has been a constant theme in my musical life.
Videos and Pictures from the launch to come soon!

Are you available on Sunday 29th September?
I am throwing an album launch celebration and would love to see you there! It's on Sunday 29th September, 2-4pm at Thameside Brewery in Staines and will be a very relaxed play through of the album essentially to give people the chance to buy CDs in person, as well as to celebrate the enormous amount of work which Island Farm Studios and the musicians have contributed to help me 'achieve my vision' (I know how pretentious that sounds!).
July has been a big music month for me. In addition to rehearsing 1-2 hours per day (and trying to make this a dedicated habit - it's been hard going!) the gig on Sunday 27th July was so lovely - a really chilled out event and crowd, with almost 20 guests specifically there to see me. It really means a lot. Take a look at the pictures on Facebook if you like.
On Friday 2nd August, I'm so pleased to announce the release of my album 'Honest Soul' with Island Farm Studio's support. To be the first to hear it, join me over on Patreon!
