Plans.
‘whoop here it is’, my plans for the new year are as follows:
*Loads of gigs
*New rocording
*New videos
*New friends
2012 was an eventful year to say to most… I took myself on tour around England and met some amazing folks. The highlights were playing at ‘Goring Unplugged’ and my homecoming gig at ‘Bar 1:22’. Not that the other gigs meant any less, these were my favorites. 
I leant a lot about performance and giving people a better quality of entertainment. My jokes could be better but I’ve never been that funny really. The best thing to come out of it all is that I want to do it all again this year and as it was so busy last year, I’m going to start booking gigs now. If you would like me to come and do a house gig or play at your local venue, Just send me a message and I will arrange something. 
The blatant lack of new recordings is something I wanted to address last year but the whole song writing process has taken me far and beyond the type of material I expected to produce. With this in mind, I decided to take a writing break from September, which is why my activity has been so quiet. Plus I broke my iPhone, which for some people was a relief, as this stopped me from clogging up there news feeds with daily post of what I’m thinking. Usual my thought process consists of Doctor Who and sex; not together, though it would be kinky, its also a bit weird. So expect some new tunes coming your way over the next couple of months. 
Thats about all I wanted to say but please do get in touch and let me know your thoughts or feel free to invite me where ever you want me to be. 
See you all soon.

Hi all, 
I was supposed to be playing on Manchester Radio Online on Monday but unfortunately we had to cancel due to technical difficulties. This wouldn’t have been a major issue, however, my friends drove over to support me as they have been busy filming there latest project. They arrived to find me shrugging and displaying the entirety of my bottom lip, they were nice enough to say they were ok with my professional failure; you would think it was expected of me from the reaction I got.
All was not lost, I met the lovely Chantelle Warner who suggested an open mic night just around the corner at ‘Trof’, just at the top of the Northern Quarter. So, me and the crew ventured out and found a lovely looking little bar (the right one, it just looked to nice for the likes of me). It was a great place, one that serves Brooklyn Larger and a selection of other trendy brews.  
The started, hosted by the incredibly handsome Guy. The multitude and great music played that night was great and most of all were Claire and Peter; an Irish Duo bringing the beautiful soul often found from them across the sea. It was all good. If you get the chance I recommend it to you all, Every Monday from 8pm. 
As for the radio, Im playing at Ducie Bridge on Saturday 4th August for the guys there and hopefully ill be on there shoe between now and then. 
The gigs are still coming, so if you want to see me play keep your ear to the ground and check out my Facebook page for details.

Last night I played at The Grove Inn, Leeds. This is a really good venue for anyone who plays acoustic or any type of folk/routes music. The sound there is crystal clear and is mixed superbly by Mat White the organiser. One of this nice touches about this venue is the hat collection for the musicians. Rather than charge a door fee a hat is passed around and people throw in whatever they want. I think this is a system more venues should adopt rather than charging a door fee and not paying the musicians anything.
