A lesson to all who care to listen. A day in the Bridge of Cows with top mates may result in, nay, inevitably result in, situations like this. Happy days. Night all ☺️🤘🏼🍻

The mood is set for Saturday film night. My current fave German beer, the last instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise, lights off, candles lit and here we go. So much better than the cinema. Noice. Cheers 🕯️🎬🍺 xx

A day of sound chasing with my fave bass “Nyx” (Ibanez Prestige SR3500) and the all you need and ridiculous value, Zoom B2 Four. What a sound and combination. I really needed this today ☺️✨🙏🏻

Expectations can weigh us down, but even in the darkest moments, light finds a way through.
Life isn’t always easy, but it means something, and so do you. Be good, be kind and be true. Keep fighting the good fight.
Much love ✨☺️ xx

A properly amazing day. I woke up super pissed off but as the day progressed, things brightened up brilliantly. A result for the band & an amazing day with the bestest of friends. Genuinely thankful. No matter what life throws at us, it’s always friends & family that makes it all worthwhile ☺️🙏🏻✨ xx

Some interesting finds today in the deep, dark recesses of Casa Cohen. This must surely be Operation Sort My Shit Out part XLV? It is truly amazing what I’ve kept over the years. Why? 👀🫣😂
PS I’m up for selling these on if anyone is interested. Make me an offer. Cheers ✨

I’m a cat person through and through, but occasionally my head is turned. This lovely dog had that effect on me today. Such a sweet soul, and so charismatic. Drooled like a mutha fecker though. That side eye is hysterical. A good day out ☺️✨🥰

I never need an excuse to play this album, but today, it feels right to listen to my fave KISS album and raise a glass to Ace. Thank you for the music, and safe journey. RIP 🙏🏻✨

A Top of the Pops morning geeking out over bass with a couple of good pals. Four Fender Precision basses from 3 countries of manufacture, from 3 different decades, and all modded with BadAss II bridges. Which one would you choose? 🥰✨

What a relief……. First doctors appointment in 12 years and thankfully, apart from the things I can’t change about myself, I was given the all clear. Phew! Hopefully I’ll sleep a little better now. Have a good one. Catch you soon 🙏✨

What an amazing night. It will live with me for a long, long time. Thank you all, so much. Thank you Martin Reijman for capturing this moment. This life doesn't always sit right with me for whatever reason but at times like this, I know why I do it. Love to you all xxx

A top day in The Clubhouse working on a track with me old pal Sanj for his band, The 'king Posers. Properly hooky, great tunes, ace vocals & essential 80’s vibes. Looking forward to working with them again. A lovely change of scene from working on something that I’m not involved in. Cheers ☺️☀️ xx
