She Makes War

Last night was wonderful. Brilliant music, great people and lots of wine. We raised a melancholy glass to the passing of the King of Pop and morris danced in to the early hours. Well, the boys did - I had a fine time watching...

I’ve been working my fingers to the bone this past week finishing off tracks, designing artwork and putting together a little limited edition package to celebrate my involvement with The Apollo Project this month...
