Hi, I've been working pretty hard behind the scenes to put some cool shows together. Not everything has gone to plan lately, but hey, it is what it is. 23rd of August I'll be in Brighton at Brunswick Pub an afternoon show, as I know a lot of you peeps have been complaining you can't stay up late 🀣

Tomorrow night open mic returns to Belgium and Blues Southampton and I think it will be a cracker. Pizza deals & a free cold pint for performers 🍻 What more could you want ? A million pound record deal? 🫠🀣 Nah, grassroots music and a supportive crowd πŸ’―

After my organisational skills, patience and will to live have been pushed to absolute limits. I'm pleased to announce the full May tour! I've dubbed it the '50 beers and breweries tour' Six venues will be used to host nineteen independent acts in my most ambitious run of shows

Enjoyed taking my 'new' guitar out for a spin! To be fair I've used it much since I bought it over a year ago but it's quite punk sounding. 'God doesn't hate you' 3-track single out now

Artists release silent album in protest against AI using their work Music stars including Kate Bush and Damon Albarn say law changes would damage people's livelihoods.

You may like ai you may not, but what is absolutely clear is that creative work needs to be protected by law against big tech companies. It's time to fight back πŸ’ͺ
