Sadly my friend and fellow bassist Gary Sleigh passed away a few months ago. If you live in the Wigan area please come down and support the event. All proceeds to the British Heart Foundation. I’m honoured to be playing bass with his old band Tabu ❤️

Taken at The Lord Nelson in Croston, Lancashire. A very tight space indeed. Maybe the first time I’ve played a gig behind the drummer but who cares, we always make it work. Such a lovely, historic pub with great people xx

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

I think the family knows me well and the fact I love music, as they bought me a vinyl record shaped mug for my birthday last week 🤣 🎶

Managed to get last minute tickets to see the great @HackettOfficial and his amazing band in Liverpool tonight. First time with Genesis in 1977 (I was only very young) and many times since. Always a brilliant show 👌❤️

Got to say the #OlympicGames have been absolute class up to now. The rugby sevens being the highlight for me. The French men were superb yesterday and the Aussie women are awesome, unfortunately for GB
