I feel like I've spent this year repeating the line, "soon" but now that work has finally begun and we're 2 sessions into recording I can honestly say the new album IS finally coming. I've been working with a lovely bubbly percussionist who is single handedly keeping me motivated with his positive reinforcement. The older I get the more I realise I am actually tinkerbell and require continual clapping to  survive... sad 'innit?

 It's been quite strange to be back in a studio situation, I've found it weirdly daunting. The past six months have been quite hard for me as I've been suffering with asthma and acid reflux (what bad luck!) so I've been getting used to lots of new medication and, what felt like, a reduced lung capacity so wow was it a shock to be rehearsing again and sustaining notes. I've been climbing the recovery ladder and I'm getting there, more determined than ever to give you an album you'll love. Rest assured... Oo there's so much I want to tell you but I don't want to spoil it or indeed count my chickens before they've hatched. As I said we're two sessions in, looking forward to overdubbing in the 3rd (that's the fun part where we put all the layers on). You might've guessed already but I am all about the layers...

I've been trying to keep you guys a bit more involved in what I'm up to while I feel like I'm in the pits having work done (strange formula one reference there...) so there's lots of videos on my Facebook and I'm getting back to using my youtube channel again. Check 'em out as I'd love to hear if you have any suggestions of songs to do or cover - I have truly missed gigging lately so for the time being my videos are my way of reaching you so hey let me know you're out there! If that's still enough I've managed to clog my Soundcloud account and have spilt on over to clypit.com. I will of course have to delete a few oldies on my Soundcloud and upload some new stuff soon - so hard to do - so enjoy 'em while they're still up.

Thank you for your continued support and in the words of Pink, 'I'm not dead yet' haha

Love your friendly, needy local musician
