Big thanks to everyone who came down to the Library in Islington last night. It was my first gig in a few months, so was great to see so many familiar faces there. Hopefully see you all at a show soon. Setlist: Get Me Out Of Here Polaroid Don’t Tell Mary Same Direction Let It Burn Dust On The Shelves
Tonight, I finished the final lyric for the album I’ve been working on all summer. All that’s left is to record all the vocals, a few overdubs and to mix it all.

Interesting facts aside, I was on the bill there as part of the

Last weekend I curated a mini-festival in a back garden in Streatham, South London, in aid of my friend Nadine’s birthday. This was my first attempt at anything like this (I was also had to sound engineer, compere, and of course perform), and, thanks to having some really talented friends (as well as sympathetic weather), it was a brilliant day.

I played the Good Ship in Kilburn, north-west London on Tuesday night, and despite the earlier thunderstorms, tube delays and general post-Glastonbury malaise, it turned out to be my favourite gig of the year so far. “Howling Springbok” Daniel Parkinson joined me onstage for a couple of songs, adding his blues harp licks and flat cap to proceedings.
