First 2010 Gig / London

 

Great first gig of the year on Friday. Such a good audience. I played the new songs I talked about in my last blog and they were received very well - like new arrivals at a party! I had the audience singing the "Will you wait for me?" refrain when I played Spires which was good to hear. 

 

Just had news of another solo acoustic gig I'll be doing @ The Bedford in London on 14th April. A venue with a lot of history it seems for us singer/songwriter types. I've found that the difference between more intimate singer/songwriter-friendly venues (like Friday's venue) is that you actually get a decent chance to catch the other acts and absorb the atmosphere before going on stage which is a real bonus!

Widening The Scope!

 

I've been burrowing away like an eager rabbit on new music and plans for the year - but I thought I'd better check in on my blog! 

 

The first gig of the year is coming up on Friday at the View Two Gallery in Liverpool and work on new music began at the start of January and hasn't stopped. 

 

The new songs coming through are widening the scope of my songwriting. I think they're some of the best songs I've ever written. New songs titles include... Mary Rose, There Goes The Birth, Smile and All Good Americans.

 

I'll be debuting some of them at the acoustic gig on Friday. The gig has sold out and it'll be great to see how they're recieved!

 

If you have a ticket - see you there! x
