Bottoms up from the green room at Spring Grove House! At this lovely black tie soiree I roved the dinning room singing with radio packs attached to me and a headset that looked something akin to what bodyguards wear. I have to say, it was fun. I’ve played private functions before but had never filled a role such as that. Cracking ideas by the events team.
Amazing.
I just got home from watching these guys live at the Barfly and my mind is blown.
I’m back gigging for the fabulous Tabarnak crew tomorrow night at The Victoria, Mornington Crescent. These are beautiful acoustic gigs with no amplification so performances are always of the utmost intimacy. I’ll be joined by Rosalie Bevan who is a treat to watch live.

For my very romantic Valentine’s day I decided to play a gig and perform all of my most heartbreak-ridden tunes. Please come on down and join me crying in to my beer. The deets:
The Phoenix, 37 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0PP
Open Mic kicks off circa 7PM with featured artists, like me, circa 9PM.
Facebook group here.
Tomorrow night I’ve got my first gig of 2010 at Powers (it’s here) in Kilburn. After the shitty illness that made me cancel gigs in January, I have more-or-less got my voice back and I will be test driving a couple of new tunes.
We found this slipped under our door one morning after an impromptu Thursday night Spotify session.
I am a big fan of my neighbours’ critical opinion. I won’t offer much defense other than that our music selection was exceptional and I was on my way to work when I found it.
20th January, 9:30PM @ The Lockside Lounge, Camden Market, NW1 8AF
UPDATE: Due to the onset of a shitty illness I have had to cancel this gig. Sad times.
The nice folks at Plugged in Switched On have put me on for a feature slot at their new venue, the Lockside Lounge next Weds. Really up for this having not done a gig since December. I’ve written a raft of new songs since 2010 broke, drawing on that inexhaustible source of inspiration, as DL Grant would put it, heartbreak.
Come along and cheer or jeer… I’ll be taking the songs out of my bedroom to see what Camden Town has to say about it.
You can now get Busking for SolarAid, the compilation from The Big Chill Label from Amazon and iTunes.
Saw these guys at The Big Chill last year. Cracker of a tune…
