Despite the fact this continues to be a hiatus, I am interspersing it with gigs. So I apologise for the lack of communication but I am around and the music continues.

I would like to invite you all to one more show this year (as things stand anyway, you never know when another will turn up!)

Bedford's in Norwich is hosting a lovely evening of music with some fantastic acts on show, and it only costs a (over-used pun alert) credit crunching 100p to get in.

As an update on proceedings, I am planning to do a few shows as next year arrives and will then start writing a recording a new album from the autumn. I already have a few ideas for how I want it to sound, so I'm pretty excited already.

In between, I'll be playing around and popping in new bits and bobs, like videos to some of the last album's tracks and other shenanigans yet to be invented.

Anyway, what I'm try to say is keep popping along on my sites if you like the music - because I haven't packed it all in.
On a quick side note, I thought the the Next Big Thing final at the UEA LCR on Sunday was a great occasion.

I've had the privilege of playing with three of the six finalists and I think everyone did justice to their music.
I hate it when art - especially music - is made into competition. It's an oxymoron.

But I would love to play the LCR stage and I hope all the acts enjoyed the night and being in the spotlight - that was the real aim of the evening.

Ed Sheeran, Killamonjambo and everyone else now has the chance to build on that exposure. In that way, they all won by getting so far.
Enough preaching, hopefully I'll see some of you on Wednesday,
Michael
