It's Easy

to write some songs, this one took 5 minutes.

Unfortunately, some take ages, and even worse, some just sit there brewing forever...never to be finished...

EP on the way

I've been recording some of my songs with a plan to put them together as an EP soon, I'm not sure what I'll do with it once it's ready to go but it's something fun to do over the Summer. You can hear some of the recordings in their unmastered and slightly-rough-around-the-edges state here:

I have one problem though. I keep writing songs that would go nicely with these ones, so perhaps this EP will turn into a home-made album that I might then go off and record properly. Who knows?

I'm on tour with Laura James & The Lyres at the moment which is going really well, and I've been playing support sets for us at the gigs which has been a really interesting experience, having previously not played a proper solo gig, so it's fun to see which songs work live better than others and hear what different people have to say about my writing.

Once I'm off the tour (at the end of next week) I will be getting back to writing/recording my own material, and also making and recording music with my dear friend, the ever-so-talented Frankie Davies, so lots of things in the pipeline, stay tuned!

Think Of You

A proper recording of a song I've already put up as a video on here, so I won't say much about it, except that it will be going on an EP that I'm putting together that I'm quite excited about.
Hope you enjoy it.

I wrote a story

Inspired by my talented writer of a friend Mike (check his blog out here), I wrote a story and it even has a happy ending! I hope you like it.

Cornwall is a gem

Been on a little trip up to near Land's End to see my buddy Mike (check his blog here). Spent a week and a half deeply chilling, surfing, bronzing and larking around.

Here are some nice photos from a bike ride we went on to a place he had never been before.

The swings were empty,


so I swung,


Mike had fun,


and the sun shone out of my bum.


Then we sat on some goalposts.


All in all, Cornwall truly is a beautiful place and I am looking forward to returning soon.

L'Etacq

My friend Tom came up to L'Etacq and took some photos of me playing my lovely little Farida parlour acoustic. Here are a few.
