Ooh 'ello! I'm just in the middle of picking a new humongous load of pickled eggs; my speciality. I think i've perfected my recipe and am now making a record batch for friends & family which excites me no end! I'm just in the process of getting back into "usual" life. You know that feeling when you've just returned from holiday and you feel rather disorientated? Kinda like when you've just been watching an amazing film and the end credits roll and you don't want it to end??!!

I've just got home from the latest bout of rehearsals in Hull with Mr David Rotheray and friends. For those of you who haven't come across that name before you will find it sharing the song-writing credits of all the hits co penned with Paul Heaton for that wonderful band; the Beautiful South. Dave doesn't actually sing himself (even though i think he is more than capable) so in all of his songwriting projects he enlists the help of various vocalists such as Sam Brown in his last band Homespun.

Well i've just recovered from the jet-lag of returning from Londinium. Crazy place it is. I done a wedding gig on Exmoor on the Saturday evening and then drove up to London town to my friend's house that night after the gig. Couldn't believe how nuts London is even at 02:30 AM, in Devon even the field mouses is asleep by that time! Dumb ass sat nav took us right through Piccadilly Circus! I don't know if you've ever tried driving through that hole of hell before but i strongly advise against it! Absolutely nuts it was, like Exeter on a saturday night at 10pm!

I've decided that we are definately going to have a flawlessly sunny summer this year and this glorious weather we've been recently enjoying is just a taster of what's to come. No more muddy pants and damp accordions this year, not for this folk singer anyhow!

Well i had a rather fun, bizarre, impromptue evening on the 31st March when i was driven up to deepest Somerset by a certain Miss Jackie Oates to take part in some special music videos for the wonderful songsfromtheshed.com
We were not alone in our performances though; being joined by an act i had not come across until that evening; the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre! I'm not going to try to explain what ensued, watch the videos and form your own opinions. Needless to say i had a riot!
