Sadly my last show with Dan as Heartwork. It’s been amazing to watch him on his musical journey and has left us on an absolute banger of an album! I can’t wait to see what the next project is!

Big thank you to SoP Live for having us back and The Castle

HATS ARE IN!
———

Look in wonder at the hats!

Hats! Your head no longer need be cold ever again!

Hats! Is there anything they can’t do?!

B-Sydes beanies? Or hats? The choice is yours.

Craig Slaney, Hayley Slaney and the OFTR team and Fulford Arms smash it every year and it means the world to so many people, myself included.

I’m on a roll of crazy positive shows in a row now and it feels pretty damn good!

I had the pleasure of joining Heartwork during his set on Saturday as well as joining Gaz Brookfield and Jake Martin for a one last massive sing-along to close out the festival!
October 22, 2025 at 1:02 PM
I even did a shot on stage because Slaney gave it to me, because who can say no to that face?!

I also experienced my very first human pyramid during my set! For some reason I called it a “triangle”. Well done me.
October 22, 2025 at 1:02 PM
One For The Road, what can I say?!

That was mad! Incredible! SO LOUD! All of the things! It gave me all of the feels!

I’ve had to miss the last two OFTR’s.
It’s a pretty goddamn special place and I felt every bit of that during my set on Sunday. Thank you so much.

BRIGHTON!

On Nov 28th I’m playing The Folklore Rooms to play with my excellent pal & expert stair-sitter, Non Canon and Jacob Glew (formally of Fighting Fiction!)

Feels like AGES since Barry & I played together (York this weekend doesn’t count)

Tote bag orders will be heading to the post office tomorrow to go out! Woo!

Waiting on a few t-shirts for those that ordered both t-shirt & bag, so I’ll wait for those to arrive and send them together.

I have some t-shirts in, so if I have the right ones I’ll send them asap!

Guildford last Friday was great!

Loved my set! And just like the previous day in London, might be my favourite Guildford show!

Zac Box was great! Keep an eye on him!

The biggest thank you to Gaz Brookfield for having the faith in me & taking me on tour! It was the best.

Mixed emotions day for sure, as we bid farewell to The Sweetchunks Band, who went out in hilarious style! A super special set.

We may have lost a bloody brilliant band, but feel very lucky to know 3 of the best people!

The Sweetchunks are dead, long live The Sweetchunks!

All the acts who played were on fantastic form and it was lush to see so many friends in one place!

I seem to remember enjoying a lively debate with my crowd as to whether 'Etch A Sketch' was better than 'Magna Doodle' during my set. You were wrong, well done.

So Saturdays all-dayer was pretty special!

Massive thank you to Aubrey Blakeledge and James at Here For The Music - On The Road for asking to be part of it!

PARTY THIS SATURDAY!

This Saturday in Southampton, we’re having one last massive send-off gig/party/tearful goodbye to the one and only The Sweetchunks Band!

It’s their last ever ticketed show and the line-up is a banger!
