Hey everyone, i hope 2010 has started well for you all, its taken me a while to get into this futuristic new time we’re livin in as everythin seems to have drawn to a halt because of the snow but its made for some fun snow days with my flat mates.
So, its a new year, i got a new band and a new album out, the release dates is confirmed as 25th January and the album is called “What Good Am I To You?”, it is available for pre order on amazon and many other internet record stores. Also i am playing a small solo show on the 28th January at The Cafe at Foyles bookstore on Charing Cross Road in London, i will be playin all the new songs from the album and also selling and signing the new album for anyone who wants one, it starts at 6 and is FREE to get in, should be good fun. Please come along cos i have visions of that scene from Spinal Tap at the album signing with Artie Fufkin!

If you’d like to know what the new record sounds like you can check out the reviews in this months issue of Mojo magazine and Blues in Britain as well as an interview and a few gig reviews in there as well (thanks to the good people at Blues in Britain for bein so supportive of my music)…

I’m really looking forward to seein you all this year at the shows, the band is soundin great, Scotty Wiber on Bass and Alex Reeves on drums you may know them as the rhythm section from the Big Sounds. So there will be lots of solo and band shows bein confirmed in the next few weeks so stay tuned to see if we’re coming to a theatre near you…
