15th Feb 10

I'm shattered from the travel - a fair few hours standing on a train there and back, and a good forty-five minutes trying to find the place - but the Rising Sun is a wonderfully interesting space: what they achieve there, with only good-will, puts lots of better-known places to shame.

The audience were warm and friendly and although we were tired - Dave having a massive car trek from Leeds -we played some lovely music. One of the audience took a short video too!

Still, got to wake up for London and Cardiff back-to-back!

20th Jan 11

Off to Leeds for the next Heralds installment!

20th Jan 12

Another morning... another test post to Facebook. Writing for the trio recording is going well: and preparing for the gig with Alex Hawkins and Dave Kane in Leeds!

24th Jan 12

Anyway, today: a wet morning, spent indoors. I have some more writing to do for the trio album - there are a few things left to do for a couple of the songs, but it's shaping up nicely. Then some prep for Leeds on Sunday!

25th Jan 12

But on a better note - a busy few days! I've not put it on yet, but I'm playing with old Symbiosis buddies George Grignon and Andy Maclean at Deda on February 11th; that as well as Sunday with Dave Kane and Alexander Hawkins in Leeds; and a gig in with Nat Birchall on Feb 4th at Pizza Express. All good!

28th Jan 12

This coming Sunday: in Leeds. Very excited about this one - two friends who [I think] have never played together before... but I have a very good feeling about this! Last time I played in @[Alexander Hawkins]' band it was a complete roast: he's a fabulous musician. Here's a video of that time, in Newcastle...

14th May 12

On my way to Leeds on Saturday, I popped into the International Print Exhibition in the Arboretum, England's oldest public park.

The International Print Exhibition has been running for three years now, bringing great art from around the world right into Derby. It's run by Green Door Printmaking which is based in Normanton, the area where I was born and bred.

Green Door doesn't receive the plaudits or subsidy that are given to other arts organisations in the city, but they're doing international work, and have been doing it for just as long. Not they're under threat with rising costs - I'm hoping the city doesn't forget about them... but I am not so sure.

Anyway, I was looking at the work while I was waiting for an appropriate time to head to the train station; and they asked me to play for a bit while I was there - so I did, with great pleasure.

If you get chance pop to the Arboretum, see the exhibition; and learn about an arts group that brings the world to Derby. The exhibition ends on 31st May.
