What a week I had last week.

First was the Philharmonic Hall gig with The Lightning Seeds. An unforgettable experience. The sound system and acoustics at that venue are a thing of wonder! I sang the first line of 'Saw The Angels' at the start of the set and it felt like my voice was twenty times bigger. Absoultely loved it. The audience reaction was fantastic and I met a lot of great people upstairs at the merchadise counter where I was signing albums.

BIG THANKS AND LOTS OF LOVE TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO IT!!!!

The day after the Phil gig I went to Leeds for a few days to finish recording the new EP which will be available very soon!!! Great to get back into the studio and good fun staying in a classic British B&B while we were there - complete with a VERY tiny bathroom and 1980's wallpaper!

On our last day in Leeds tehre came a phone call asking would I and the band like to support Deacon Blue at the Liverpool Echo Arena on the Friday coming!! Amazing opportunity and what a night it turned out to be - performing to nearly 6000 people!!

The buzz from performing to that many people was incredible. It's a special feeling seeing the lights go down and hearing an audience that big cheer as you walk on. The songs were really well received by the audience. Once again a lot of people were at the merchadise counter afterwards buying the album and chatting away. I loved the whole thing. I was a fan of Deacon Blue anyway and after meeting them and realising how cool and friendly they are as people my respect doubled.

All in all a good week at the office!!

P.S. I'm not the biggest technology wizz but I've worked out how to upload stuff from my phone. Here's a pic from the Philharmonic gig and a vid of a breathtaking backstage one-man jig that took place in the dressing room after the show :)

More little vid clips from the studio and hanging around Echo Arena to follow!!!
