After the bitter disappointment of having to pull out of my hometown show at The Barge, I'm nobbling this flu thingy, my voice is coming back, and I'm very excited about all the shows I'm playing in the next week or two. 

First up on Saturday early evening, I'll be down at Platform 5 in Ashford for James Vince's charity event "For Luca". I'm on about 6ish, but will be kicking about earlier to catch some of my favourite biches like Kate Wintie.  Then it's off to Folkestone for a 8ish, another wonderful charity event, this time in the street outside Chambers. Finally, on Sunday afternoon I'm making an appearance the Dover Festival, on the Live in the Living Room stage at about 4pm. Then it's back to the Hollywood of Medway for M&S Meal for 2 with Ladyface, and a well deserved poncy beer like Peroni or Pilsner Urquell.

Here are some pretty posters with the full line ups for this weekend:

I've got plenty of shows over the coming weeks, playing some brand new places like Chambers in Folkestone, and Proud Camden in London. Here's a load of my dates next to a picture of my face, plus a brand new song because I love you.

My new song is out now. Huge thanks to Charlie at Magpie Studios Kent, who helped create a delicate recording where there could have just been mess.
 
Also thanks once again to Matt Cahill Photography. This photo was taken during an adventure to find a cover shot for my last EP "I Lost Every One Of You".

Help yourself to my new song 'Sun' recorded at Magpie Studios Kent

Hello Possums, its time for a bit of news. I will bullet point these for added impact:

• I've been out in the woods to do some videos with Digital Video Revolution. We recorded 4 songs and I got feasted on by mosquitos. Several talentless mosquitos feature in the videos, but make no mistake, it is I who deserves your attention. The videos were part of a documentary series DVR are producing to show off creative types. I'll be posting the songs and featurette soon.

• Red Light Russell (tm) recently asked me if I would like to do a video cover of a local band's song of my choice. This is for his project "Russell's musical friends covering Russell's musical friends video challenge" or RMFCRMFVC for the easy to remember acronym. I chose So Far So Good by One Day Elliott, and by the time you read this, it'll probably be in the videos section, and on my Facebook and Twitter.
• A very lovely gent, who is opening a studio in Rochester, (Magpie Studios) has offered me some recording next week. This is pretty much the greatest gift I could receive, and I'm so excited to record some new stuff. What we achieve on the day will decide what and how its released, but soon as its sorted I'll pop them online.
• New gig announcements! 4th July at the Beacon Court Tavern (this'll be my first time back there in 10 years) and curtesy of HotVox, on the 8th August i'm playing a set at Proud Camden. More on these soon! 

That'll do it for now, take care chumbos. x

I'm going to be playing a few shows with Kate Wintie over the next few weeks, so I thought all you people from Zimbabwe and The Dominican Republic might want to take a look.
