Well I haven’t done one of these for a time so thought I’d fill in some gaps. I got four new songs underway over the last week 3 co-writes and one all of my own making. I’ve been listening to the latest Christine Kane album and she has a song called ‘Virginia’ [ a co [...]

Standing beneath high voltage electricity pylons, the air is filled with a constant hum, a drone, a frison. The air is slightly electrified it makes the hairs on your neck rise slightly and exerts a meniscus of pressure. It reminds me of a vacant room in a rented house due to be condemned, just a [...]

Previously I have discussed my anti-cheese stance – smelly, funny flat taste on my tongue and a desire to throw up. Yoghurt was at one time treated with the same disdain, but reading of finely crafted words and health journals convinced me it was in my best interest to indulge – for whatever reason. High [...]

The smell of roasted meat fills the air, that same smell as back home when the chicken or the lump of beef or the strips of pork were sitting on the silver serving tray, the one with the spikes that held the meat firmly in place as it was delivered. Here the meat is ready [...]

It’s mile after mile of empty tinder dry blonde grass, occasional clouds of sheep seem to float on the horizon, fence posts flash by either side hypnotically. I wind down the window to let the breeze buffet me, to keep me awake the last 3/4 hours of the journey. Not much happening at all just [...]
