DEC 2013 Greetings , it's been a while . Facebook is where most of the updates happen these days, so my apologies for neglecting this website. Contrary to popular belief, I have been hard at work this year and there are exciting things in the pipeline. I have been working on a new album which I am looking forward to sharing with you . It has been recorded by the amazing talent that is Phill Brown. I feel very privilged to work with someone who has recorded so many great artists in his time. Certainly not least of all, Phill is responsible for recording and mixing Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk which has been one of the most important albums in my life. I had the great pleasure to work with the excellent musicians John Parker (double bass) and Martyn Barker (drums) as well, and we recorded everything live to tape. The way it should be... The album will be coming out next year and I am very excited about it. I hope you find as much to love in it as I have put into it. To coincide with the album's release I am also really pleased to announce that I will be doing a Scandanavian tour in March and April next year. Details of this are to follow shortly. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone! I'll see you in 2014. ________________________________________________________________ NOV 2012 As the vast logo says Tom Robinson kindly chose my track Fuel for Fire to put on his BBC introducing mixtape you can check it out here BBC mixtape ________________________________________________________________ OCT 2012 We have had such great feedback from the recent videos that we have decided to share the audio with you good people.

________________________________________________________________ SEPT 2012 Golden Light Video This is the second live video produced, directed and edited by Simon Olivier. It was shot by Dax Debice and Kevin Row at the Brunswick in Hove . Fiddes Smith is on mandolin and Mark Strains on double bass. Big thanks to all ( also available here Script Simon on Vimeo )
________________________________________________________________ Lovely little live review of recent gig supporting the wonderful House of Hats over here at Brighton Music Blog ________________________________________________________________ Last month I had the great pleasure of playing at the Beautiful Days festival as part of the prize from winning the Acoustic Magazine competition to find the UKs best Singer-Songwriter. No pressure then... To be honest I'm not too sure about competition in music as one person's apples are another's oranges but I was grateful for the opportunity to play at Beautiful Days. There were also some great prizes including a posh microphone (DPA) and an Alvarez guitar (more of that later). I had an amazing time down in Exeter playing the gig with Fiddes Smith on mandolin and Mark Strains on double bass and I hope to get back to this excellent festival sometime. Apart from playing, festival highlights for me were Seth Lakeman who was headlining on our stage and played a blinder and also comedy/theatre act "La Navet Bete Napoleon a Defence" who were genius. Festival lowlights were me falling arse over tit in the mud, had to happen to someone.
________________________________________________________________ AUGUST 2012 I am very proud to announce that we have been selected to play at the now sold out Beautiful Days Festival (Aug 17th-19th). Huge thanks to Acoustic Magazine for making this possible and really looking forward to it. Killer line-up including PIL, The Waterboys, Toots and the Maytals, Richard Thompson, Midlake, Billy Bragg, The Levellers and fellow Brightonians The Miserable Rich amongst many others. Gonna be amazing!
