Looking for strings players at the moment, quartet if possible, London based, may be more practical to complete a couple of tracks for the next album. If you are interested don't hestitate to get in touch, cheers

Currently in the studio working on tracks for my new album. Also been busy writing new songs, some on my own, but also setting up several new co-writing partnerships.

I am appearing on the Andy Crane show on Sunday December 20th on BBC Radio Manchester. It is a great show with lots of political conversation and comedy and I get the opportunity to play three live songs. I will be debuting a song from Look Back In Anger plus something a little extra. If you miss the show you can catch it on listen again through BBC iplayer

Currently working on new songs for my next album, due at the end of the year or early 2010. Also putting together a series of dates for this autumn, with one or two radio sessions, which I will post up ASAP.
