This site’s been quiet for the last few months primarily because our son, Joe, was born in July and life’s been well hectic ever since. Lots of work to do round the house too (boo!) as well as my day job, snatching the odd moment to do some photography-related activity, helping to run Filmwasters.com etc. etc. At one point I didn’t pick up a guitar for 9 weeks; the longest in about 20 years. Grr. Not much time left over for this site…which is a shame because I love going through the archives and posting songs and background stories. Anyway, last week I came across a stash of mini-discs in the garden shed with loads of cool stuff on them. Some great Big Ray shows from the French tour in 1999, a decent Chocolate gig from the Harlow Square Club in about 1997 and loads of really interesting 4-track demos. I’ve copied them to the computer and just need to find the time to edit them and get them online. So, watch this space in 2008.

Finally, episode 3 of the monthly photography podcast that I run is available to play/download over at Filmwasters.com. A far cry from punk rock, but easier to achieve than finding a drummer and getting a new band together.

Happy New Year!
