Ta da! Here’s the new logo for the tiny production company I’ve set up with my partner Tom. The industrious and brilliant Brighton artist, Sarah Young, worked with us to create our look and our first production is getting an airing in September. You can find out more by clicking the link in my bio.
’… outside the Firkin Beaver was a twinkling reindeer pulling a Santa Claus on a sleigh, picked out in hundreds of tiny white and red lights. This did nothing for my mood.’

“As much as you can get serious and grief-stricken about what it’s like to be human, there’s something very light about how words just flip over and rhyme, and then kick you in the face.”

Tune of the day…Duke Jordan - Starbright. Often for ballads guys would just record a standard rather than compose their own, but Duke loved Dizzy Reece’s tone on a ballad so he wrote this one. Notice how the repetitive old school comping actually brings out the melody. #jazzsky youtu.be/7qDl2ukcA1w

Advent — one.

Charles Dickens was a master of the English language. In his hands, almost anything could be created.

Vincent Franklin’s interpretation,on stage, was superb. There are more shows:
