It's amazing how much of a difference the congestion charge in Oxford has made. The roads are much quieter, it's so easy driving around the city centre now and being able to keep to time. My job has become less stressful.

Could a tour poster for an artist you’ve never heard of ever make you go to a gig without listening to their music before?

Well today was a fun one. Woke up late after a very late gig last night in London and had an email from the guy who fitted the carpet in my studio telling me he just heard me on BBC Radio Oxford.
I asked a couple of questions and he said 8.45am on his way to work, off I went to BBC Sounds.

Stop buying Potter stuff.
J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the "Harry Potter" series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.”

The person who lived here before us decorated the downstairs bathroom in a very quirky way. I’m so reluctant to change it but it’s really not aging well. Might need to hit some charity shops to get some more sheet music.

Let's talk about Spotify for a second. I released a song last month. My first in nearly 4 years. I have 2300 followers on Spotify and before the release I had about 350 monthly listeners. I had about 50 listeners a day. I have one song over 100,000 streams, a couple are getting close to that.
