I was actually against doing an album launch - who would come to a launch for one of my albums??? I found out the answer to that when Ian Sunderland persuaded me to do one last night at The Musician. We had a wonderful turn out, thank you all so much for being there!

We had some outstanding performances from Jim Tetlow, Stevie Jones,Tom Scharenheuvel-Lewitt, Bluebird Parade and Ash Mammal - our band 'switchover' was such a great moment for me, bless you Cass Rowe, Stan Greengrass, Jeeves Kanth and George Ash Mammal.. my band set with David Conrad Dhonau, Mark Haynes and Jonathan Read was magical to be a part of, thank you guys! ..and thank you soundman extraordinaire Malc Randall and Darren Nockles..

It meant a lot to see 'Touching Stones, Tasting Rain' on the legendary Musician merch table. I just wish Ken Last had been there to see it but I think he was with us in spirit..

If anybody fancies it we have 4.2.17 booked for an event marking my hitting a er milestone age - or is that a millstone?

Thank you all again, thank you x
