    Montaigne!

    Hey world I have been quite busy with an awesome artist called Montaigne.

    i went on a holiday to the USA!

    Hey world, I went over to the USA for a holiday. I wanted to meet a bunch of my heroes before they passed, and I wanted to check out the music scene there. It was a very eye opening experience! I did meet a few of my heroes and chatted on the phone with a bunch of them. Hearing Jim Keltner play live was a mighty experience. Also, hearing Jim Black and Mark Guiliana play in little rooms in NYC was a beautiful thing! I bought a bunch of percussion stuff, and I also bought a g

    Guitar Album OUT NOW!

    Hey world My new album Indoor Cowboy (with me playing the guitar!) is out now. We had an excellent launch at Foundry 616 on July the 1st. With Hamish Stuart on drums, Adam Pringle on guitars, and a special guest (filling in for Brett Hirst) Jonathon Zwartz on the double bass. You can get it here (Physical and download) and it will be available on iTunes shortly. Now that this project is done, I can get back to playing the drums!
    New Album - On The Guitar!

    New Album - On The Guitar!

    In November 2013, I set myself the challenge of recording an album, with me playing guitar, playing my own songs. As someone who could only fiddle my way around the instrument at that point, this was a large load of work to take on! After a few months of experimenting and doing a fair bit of shedding, I was ready! I assembled some of my favourite musicians in the world: Hamish Stuart - drums, Brett Hirst - double bass and Adam Pringle - Guitar We tracked for a day with Richar
