So it’s almost a week since we began 2011 and so far it’s been a pretty good year! For me 2010 was great…beyond the obvious highlight of getting married I was also finally able to put out an album which personally was a huge thing…I don’t really care if people have listened to it but   Read More …

It’s that time of the year again when I have some spare time to ponder the year gone by…and mainly I’m pondering the music from the year gone by. I feel like this year I’ve experienced less anticipation about albums but purchased more old music…however as I scroll through my iTunes library there are some   Read More …

I hate the majority of Christmas carols…in fact sit me in a carol service and I’ll stay quiet for a majority of the lyrics or moan about the theology (or lack of) behind them!

Back in May I released my first full length album titled ‘Escape This Town’ but I’ve never really done a lot to publicise it other than the odd tweet and link on my blog however a month or so ago I sent some demos off to Premier Christian Radio and UCB Radio with the hope   Read More …

Back in 2001 as a family we tuned into ‘Popstars’…a new concept as far as TV Shows went…as the weeks went on we went from seeing people audition to finally ending up with ‘Hear Say’. The show continued introducing us to the band as they recorded their first single and filmed their first music video   Read More …

Last weekend myself, Joel, Stuart & Greg headed off to the Isle of Wight Festival…boarding the half 5 ferry at Portsmouth and arrived at the picturesque island (which I haven’t visited for about 15 years) around half 6.
