I’m typing in a state of great excitement here, because my new EP ‘Help Yourself Float’ comes out this week on the 28th March! If you’re reading this and you don’t have a copy yet, move your digital ass over to itunes and get one, or if you’re a traditional-gentleman-lover-of-CDs like me then go to the 360 store and get one there. It’s my best yet. You know it makes sense.

I did an EP pre-launch gig a few days ago at Sunderland Minster. The combination of getting hold of the new EP early coupled with getting pissed up in a really old church was too much for some, and several punters were seen later that night staggering around Sunderland looking both confused and a bit elated. There were TONS of people there, so I’m really chuffed with that.

I’ve been conspiring with the fine chaps the the label 360 degree music, and I’m doing some radio interviews in a few different parts of the UK to plug the new EP. There are also some reviews to come, so fingers crossed for that.

The gigs have been going great recently. There is a tendency for more listening and less chatting at my shows these days, which is seriously magical progress as far as I’m concerned. Just found out that I’m going to be playing Secret Garden Party this year too, I’m really excited about that.

Thanks, catch you soon.

In April I’m going out on a jaunt around the country with Steve Daggett. So far there are 20 gigs planned with more to be added soon. We’ re also releasing an acoustic album of duets and solos to co-incide with the tour.
