Hello! It's been a while since I last posted on here so I apologise. It's been a hectic month or so. I returned from Germany at the end of April and immediately set my sights on writing a bunch of new songs, which are coming along nicely...

They say that “time flies when you’re having fun”. There was never a truer word spoken. Today is our final day in Germany, and tonight our final show...
Munich is a lovely town. I’ve just arrived back at the hotel after spending a few hours wondering its streets and I think, along with Koln, it’s the most impressive town we’ve been to so far. And I tried a bit of Bavarian food for lunch. Great stuff. Last night’s gig in Munich was good...
I'm currently sitting in my hotel room, it's 4am German time, and I can't sleep after another great gig in Germany. Since my last (rather boring diary entry) we have played three shows. One in Krefeld, in a venue that used to be a slaughter house (nice!). One in Hamburg, and one in Koln...
So three days into the German tour and everything's going honky dory. I arrived in Hamburg on Thursday night with my guitar (thankfully, after my terminal 5 trip). First gig was on Friday night in a place called Shwerin. The venue was small but good...
It's finally April. This month I'll be jetting off to Germany to tour with Midge Ure, 12 dates dotted around the country, and let's just say there's a hell of a lot of stuff I still need to sort before I go...

The gig with Rob Howe at Monkseaton went well. Following our 30 min set, and Rob's superb set, we all got up onstage together to duet a few songs......
After a fairly lazy 2007 in terms of songwriting (but busy in terms of touring), one of my new year's resolutions was to get writing again. Over the past month or so I've toyed around with 7 or 8 different melodies, some of which have grown words, and 2 of them have now taken on a life of their own...
I'm sitting on my couch at about 12.30am this morning, struggling to build up the enthusiasm to actually go to bed, and I get a text message from my good friend James who's just bought a new Playstation 3 and wants to test out the online gaming stuff...
