Back to the studio

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
I’ve been busy decorating my house, enjoying a break, buying loads of amazing 80s vinyl, and sporadically feeling inspired to write some new tracks on and off over the summer. It’s never good to force these things, but I hope to be able to bring some of these to you soon.

Back in the studio Oct 2019 I hope to have I Don’t Need A Lover and These Days finished for you real soon, as I would personally like to get those out into the wild, as they mean more to me than ever now, and it would feel good to be able to move on from them.
Other tracks I’ve been writing/working up, include (current) titles of On & On, If I Had Your Number, Staring At The Sun, and The Lights Are Going Out.
