I realised that with being rather unwell for several weeks, and having a "week from hell", I completely bypassed putting up anything to say: MY NEW SINGLE IS OUT! You can check it out here 😃

I watched the 2019 version of Cats the other night and... controversial I know but I didn't hate it! I'll admit it took a few minutes to adjust to the human/cat hybrid thing. But after that, the songs were performed well and the choreography was interesting to watch (in my humble, ignorant opinion!)

I've just realised - it's over a year since I released my debut single! I'm still enjoying playing it, hope you're all still enjoying listening to it 😃

My Headrush Pedalboard appears to be experiencing the Rainbow of Death 😭 Has anyone found a way to fix this without having to buy replacement parts for the innards and become suddenly adept at electronics to fit said replacement parts?

About to take to the stage for the first time in almost six months. Excited... But also a little nervous lol!

With just one week to go until release, here is the artwork for Inspiration! As with previous artworks, created by the astounding talents of @keldenemosby.bsky.social, I once again feel utterly in awe at the level of detail and depth that it offers!

After a gap of way too long - I have another single coming out 😃 It's called Inspiration and will be available from November 14th. Artwork and pre-save link coming soon!

Part of the performance of my single New City, taken at this year's Vernfest in Bishops Stortford.
For a video of the performance of the full song, check out my Youtube at this link: youtu.be/G5YzvXzB1_g

So I can confirm that listening (safely) to @frankturner.bsky.social's Show 3000 album made me faster on the bike.*

*Also possible that just having music generally, or a week's rest before the ride caused the increase in performance 😝

Okay, real talk:
I honestly think as many of our Blue Sky artists as possible should sign up for this, even though I'm not really associated with this radio project.
The reason for that is very simple: @untidymusic.com is one of the people here that cares the most about the "local" music community.

I really need to get better at the "releasing" part of releasing music 😂 I have two new singles recorded and another written by this point, and am still dragging my feet on the part where they actually make their way into the world! Damn you procrastination 😝

For the first time in ages I decided to revisit the original goal of my Youtube channel - producing original jam/backing tracks. So here's a new one 🙂 Have a listen, have a jam, and hope you enjoy it!

A video of me playing a chorus from A Single Step at this year's Vernfest. The full video can be found here: youtu.be/aChFX7oTzdU
Bonus points if you can spot where I messed up and thankfully managed to rewrite it on the fly lol 😂

As is the way with creativity, I came away from Saturday's concert inspired and set to work channeling that inspiration. And what has come out bears no relation to the thing that inspired it 😂

Just watched SatchVai band in London. As the two of them playing on a G3 CD was what inspired me to take guitar seriously, and therefore influenced the course of my life, it was a very emotive evening. And it goes without saying, the playing was phenomenal!

Took a photo of my main instrument the other day before playing a festival slot. Got some videos too, so they will be coming soon!

Been writing my next single. This one is a step outside my comfort zone by including vocals... Already had one trip up where I had to rewrite the backing into a key I can actually sing in - that's not a problem you encounter with instrumentals 😂

"Local musician has a new single out. If it's good buy it; if it's not he's at the back, hit him".
Err, thanks for the shout out and support... I think?! 😂

Unfortunately there seems to have been an issue with the distributor, so New City will not be released tomorrow after all 😔 But it has been rescheduled for 4th April.

This is the artwork for New City, my second single being released on Friday 21st March. Once again done by the incredible @keldenemosby.bsky.social - including a font designed from scratch! Every time I look at it I find even more details 😀
