SYDNEY ALBUM LAUNCH - SOLD OUT!
Before we start this update, I want to say a very sincere THANK YOU to everyone who came to the sold out album launch show at the Hopetoun Hotel. That was one unbelievable night and it felt like a giant step for me and my music. It was especially great to see so many new faces at the show, along with the old faithfuls. Big thank you also goes out to my amazing and huge band that night of Brian Crouch, Mik McGinty, Scott Barr, Tim Holt, Jason Walker, Jadey O’Regan, Natalia Mitchell & Dave Hatt for bringing that incredible wall of sound. Thanks also to Nic Dalton. Adrian Whitehead, Jed Pickett, Julia Thomas, Ella Gibbins, The Hopetoun Hotel and everyone else involved in making the launch one hell of a night!

SPANISH DYLAN TRIBUTE
I was lucky enough to be asked to contribute to the first official Spanish tribute to one of my heroes, Bob Dylan. The compilation is called Bob Dylan Tribute: So Happy to see you smile through Hanky Panky Records and Brian Crouch & I recorded our own take on ‘I Threw It All Away’ from ‘Nashville Skyline’. I thoroughly recommend this release, featuring some of Spain’s best bands and other international artists from the US & Europe. Have a sneak listen on my MySpace.
