The Story of September

…..is that I’ve somehow managed to cobble together a short Irish tour, kicking off in Galway on the 28th of September, followed by shows in Dublin, Tralee, Limerick and Athlone….with Mossy Nolan opening in Galway and Dublin.   Come on out for a look.

What’s happening now

I’m just back from Ireland where we did shows in Vicar Street and the Kilkenny Arts Festival with King Creosote & Jon Hopkins, and Mick Flannery – most enjoyable.  On arriving back in London I rehearsed with James Yorkston, Rozi Plain and Emma Smith, all fence collective veterans, for a radio session to promote the launch of James’ superb new album on the Lauren Laverne show on BBC 6Music the following day….what a crew

….then we all did an instore at Rough Trade in London where we clapped and hollered along to each others’ songs, see the vid below, lovely

I’m off to The Green Man Festival in Wales tomorrow to play the main stage on Sunday,  bizarre, and then the Body & Soul stage at Electric Picnic in a couple of weekends, nice.  Thanks to everyone who’s bought my album, keepin the wheels on the wagon.  Christmas is around the corner and is there a better present to receive than a nice album? I don’t think so.

So far, so good

Album has been out for almost two months and it seems to be slowly making its own way in the world…here’s what someone said about it recently

I’ve compiled some reviews and interviews and things that I’ve done since its release over on the ‘press’ page of the site…..here

It’s 2012, or is it?

Well, the shittest month of the year is half over.  Here’s whats coming up…

So, I’m preparing a short live set for the opening night (jan 25th) of this exhibition in Camberwell, London AND a video installation….fancy, yes…and I notice that I have 9 days left, interesting.
