Hello again out there, it's been a busy few months of touring in Oz, not to mention a couple of weeks in April spent recording in far northern NSW - Glen Innes to be exact. Do you know where Glen Innes is? Well I don't really know either, but somehow I found my way there and with the help of my good mate (and producer) Kent Eastwood managed to track a whole bunch of the songs I wrote in me Irish cottage, plus a few new ones fresh out of the oven. Still a bit of work to do before we get to releasing anything, but hoping to finish that off in the next little while, as well as taking a bit of a break from the road to put some petrol back in the tank (a skill I have yet to fully master...)
Touring can be exciting, exhausting, exhilarating, exasperating, extraodinary and excructiating all at the same time. And that's just the "ex"-based adjectives... If you spend long enough living out of a suitase then eventually, as I have discovered, it catches up with you somewhere along the way. This is not to say I wouldn't do it all again (and I will), but spending time in the one place also gives you time to reflect, and after years of back and forth, to and fro, here and there, I'm starting to see that being in the one place has it's advantages too... So with that in mind, I thought I'd post a link to one of the songs I wrote in Ireland called "The Mission" which deals with a few of these types of issues - it'll be the first track on the new album. (Apologies for the ramble, but some things never change... )

A big welcome to those of you who are new to the list. That either means you've caught a show somewhere and you liked it enough to risk writing your name on a clipboard, or you thought you were entering a draw to win a new BMW. Sadly the luxury car market is a bit out of reach at the moment, but who needs a BMW when you've got a '97 Starlet Hatch?! Speaking of which, anyone looking for a cheap set of wheels? Turns out air China won't let me take it to Europe with me.
A yes Europe... London to start with, but more on that later. A few shows to get through before I take off. (Should be on the right somewhere....).
What was that I was saying about being in the one place?
I can't remember...
Till next time, thanks for the support.
