Sorry folks the Carlisle gigs have been cancelled.The promoter has gone out of business! So sorry for anyone who has already bought a ticket and to any of my Cumbrian fans.I promise to get back over to sing for you sometime in the future.

The gigs with FRAGILE are all selling well.

Hello dear friends.I hope you are having a fun New Year,Gong Hee Fat Choi or something like that! I just wanted to drop by and say hello and let you know that I have started work on my autobiography and I’m planning on finishing by the summer.However,I’ve never written a book before so who knows? it may take three weeks or substantially longer!

I don’t know if any of you have heard but I have joined a tribute band! I know ! I usually am quite scathing about them,at least I have been in the past but this one has such good musicians and I have such an affection for the music (it’s a YES tribute band) as I spent so many years around YES,I though well,why not? It means I might be able to come and play for some of you.The band,FRAGILE have kindly suggested that I do a couple of my own songs in the set.That’s so nice of them.We have had one rehearsal and it all went really well so I’m looking forward to a Prog. Rock summer! Their website is www.yestribute.co.uk

I’m still negotiating with the Eva Cassidy people about my contract so my album is still officially unavailable which is why you haven’t heard it anywhere or seen any information about it.The Eva Cassidy documentary that I take part in will be aired soon. As soon as I know a date I will let you all know

I’ll post info about the FRAGILE gigs and my own gigs very soon….much love xxx

Hello everyone

I’m happy to say that my new album is ready but I can’t sell it to you yet!

I’m in negotiation with a label so I’m holding off for just a couple more weeks..I hope it’ll be  available in time for Christmas…it better be!

here’s a pic of the Sleeve

I’ll post news as soon as I know what’s happening

Best love x

Well it’s mixed and now we’re just tweaking the mixes to get it as perfect as possible.It’s hard to stop and say “that’s enough” when you hear fluffs and goofs (mine) but it’s so close.We had to take a break from working during the summer hols.My engineer ,production partner Roland looks after his two young boys while his wife is working.Nurseries start up again in term time so we’ve had a slight delay but it was also good to stand back from the work   to get a better perspective.I LOVE it and I hope you will too xxx

The recordings are nearly finished…wahey! now just have to decide what to call the album…I’m thinking”The Meeting of the Waters”

It was great to catch up with my Teesside band Al Harrington, John Drennan and Gav Bell.Our first gig was in Saltburn at the Grand Ol’ Opry. Rosie Potter was there along with my brothers Damian and Kieran and my step sister Sue Felgate.We followed that with a gig in lovely Osmotherly at “The Queen Catherine” where Carolyn Craven presented me with copies of old songs of mine I’d all but forgotten! Now there’s just Hartlepool to do this coming saturday 28th.
Please let me apologise to any fans checking in…I promise to blog more and also update my site more often and at least keep you posted on gigs…I’m shockingly bad at this really…….sorry! x
