The CD

It's been a while since I've updated this blog, this is mainly to do with an invitation to tour Europe for the latter half of the year which has been an eye-opening experience; the people I've met, the places I've been, the stories I've heard and the music I've played from the sets of the band to an Irish/ Sicilian session at the North-most point of Denmark, from busking in front of a massive statue of monkeys in Germany to jamming on stage at the Montreux jazz festival, the range of experiences have certainly changed the way I play and what shapes the music I perform.

Coming back from the voyage also presented me with a new mindset on how to push my music out into the wider world. I came back to six tracks that I had already laid down in what must have been the most relaxed session ever (or that's how it was described by the guy in the studio) and I thought "what's the best way to get these tunes out to people whilst showing the work that's gone into them before hand?". One night I came up with the solution; get the tracks on to CD with a link to this blog where I could spend time writing up the history, sources and inspirations that have led to the heard product.

So with the launch night looming on the 5th Feb, I've got just over a month to write up and post the sleeve notes to my E.P... here we go!
