Work on the next album is progressing well enough for me to be getting VERY excited about it. 😁
Four of the nine tracks are in the bag, and a fifth is on the production line. 🙂
Probably only out Q1 2026, but hey ... I don't mind if you start getting excited too. 😏

I have an instrumental post-Christmas number coming out on Monday 1st December. 😮
