What a difference a year makes!

Apologies apologies apologies to one and all!

As you may see, my last post was one year and 4 days ago...slightly neglected, but I'm back and ready to be on the ball with this whole t
hing again...

So much has happened in the last year with all the music stuff, that it would bore you (and me) to try and condense it into a readable post...but I will tell you this...

Things have been very intense, busy and exciting.

The 'My Brother's Keeper' EP is done and dusted and ready for your ears...you can get it here.


It was such a pleasure to work on this EP with Declan Legge of Big Space Studios. Declan is a top bloke, with so much experience and for someone like me, who gets bored in the studio, he really did make the process much more enjoyable and easy.

I started gigging about 18 months ago with just myself and John on guitar. Not long after, Marty joined us on double bass, and eventually last summer, Pete came on board with the drums. I couldn't ask for a better bunch of guys to gig with. We were also joined by Nathan and Rachael Power on brass for some of the tracks both on the EP and at our launch party, and that has really spiced things up and opened up a whole new sound for us to play with...hopefully there'll be more of that to come...

There has been a lot of press and promotion for the EP, so I'll try to keep everyone up to date on all of that as I take up the reigns of this blog again...

There are many many exciting things on the horizon and I can't wait until the time is right to update you all on them, so please keep coming back!

But for now, I give you my thanks for your support this far on this leg of the journey and ask that you do yourself a favour and grab yourself a copy of the EP and let me know what you think...
