On this day in 2016, PSFU came out, ahead of my debut album Confessions Of A Romance Novelist. Here’s some outtakes of myself and cellist Gillian Wood goofing around at the BBC Maida Vale live session for the release where I was DEFINITELY not allowed to play that song as part of the set 😂

No rest for the wicked as I was up early getting in. The shows are just ten days away now and I always get stuck into a daily ritual of running the set from start to finish to get my muscle memory embedded in.
What have you all got planned for your Sunday?
