I'm in the studio again today with producer Jez Larder finishing off the new single 'Ear Drum'! It's sounding pretty epic at the moment, with a mix of Britpop, Indie, Pop, and a little madness! It's off to Dave at Hilton Grove Mastering next!
We're looking at a late April release, potentially the 21st, to tie in with Record Store Day! Exciting times!

I spent this morning over at Skyline Studios in Ashford with Jez Larder, laying down vocals for two of the tracks from the new album 'Wide Sky'! We're almost there!!
'Wide Sky' is now done and ready for the next 'hush hush' stage, and we've completed what is going to be the new single 'Ear Drum', ready for release soon and the all important Pledge Music campaign!
I'm so proud of these songs, all four that we've completed so far are something really special!

The lovely Adam Aggiss joined Jez and I in the studio at Skyline today to lay down some drums for the title track of the new album 'Wide Sky', and one of the singles 'Borderline'. The tracks are sounding what I can only describe as folk pop epic! I'm so proud!
There was as usual, normal studio banter, and I was busy tormenting the boys with the video camera, in preparation for the crowd finding campaign coming very soon!
In the meantime, here's an actual photo of Jez photobombing a 'studio selfie'.
I'm very pleased to announce that I'm gong to be working on two projects with composer James Hawkins and a special guest! James was responsible for one of the big UK Christmas hits with the London Hospice Choir and Paul Carrack, and is the director/writer/producer of the Missing People Choir who have just made it to Britain's Got Talent.
The projects are 'hush hush' at the moment, but watch this space for some exciting news coming soon!

Yesterday I was invited back to my old University, Oxford Brookes, to talk to students about life in the music industry! I was joined by composer/producer/mixer Rich Aitken, composer Miles Hancock, Del Amitri guitarist Iain Harvie, MD of XYZ Music Academy Duncan Lee, music therapist Rosie Robinson, fundraiser Gemma Buckley and Victoria Larkin from Oxford Contemporary Music. It was a very successful day doing a panel, Q&A and speed networking. It's great to see so many motivated young musicians, and a privilege to be able to help them on their journey. It was also nice to have a nose round the old department and catch up with a few familiar faces (although there's nothing like being back at your old Uni to make you feel old!!)! Thank you to all the staff and students for making us all so welcome!

On the panel talking about the fine line between taking on jobs for building network and for professional pay.
