Hello all, sorry I haven’t been in for ages, and don’t really have an excuse..
I had an extra­or­di­nary expe­ri­ence yes­terday, when my friend Tessa Grobel asked me to intro­duce Jon Snow (Baritone) and Alan Rusbridger (Piano) at the launch of ‘Music for Offices” at Christchurch Spitalfields. It’s an ini­tia­tive to get peo­ple in offices to learn instru­ments and start choirs or what­ever..
For non-​​Brits I should explain, Jon Snow is the Channel 4 News Anchor, and quite sim­ply one of the finest jour­nal­ists this coun­try has ever pro­duced, as well as just being a dude. Alan Rusbridger is edi­tor of The Guardian, the left-​​lib­eral broad­sheet, and my news­paper of choice for 30 years.
I’ve got a cou­ple of sort-​​of gigs com­ing up, in Leeds and Manchester at PMT Music shops, which is as a thank you to Mark Gooday and the good peo­ple at Ashdown Engineering, whose Amps I couldn’t live with­out.
Then of course July is my 21 date Australian onslaught…Really look­ing for­wards to that, it’s the first real tour I’ve ever done under my own name..
Hope all good with every­one.
Toodle pip!
