Thanks to everyone for watching, sharing, liking and commenting on our new video and downloading the single ‘Got It‘ yesterday – we really appreciate your support. The first blog to review Got It is ‘Here comes the Flood‘ – so thanks to Hans for spreading the word. Also, cheers to Don for playlisting Got It on the ‘I Don’t Hear …
Give it a watch and if you’re so inclined, like, and share the video to the entirety of you social universe!Got It is available to download from Bandcamp too, with the album to follow on February 20th. It’s the first of our songs that’s a duet, and it features the brilliant Courtney Ellis on vocals. We’re so pleased she agreed …
Thanks to Chris who has playlisted ‘Got It’ on Asahartz’ 21st Century Roxx on Rock Radio UK, 9am-11am next Tuesday 20th January. Make sure to listen at rockradiouk.com or on the TuneIn app
Hi all. Bandcamp – undoubtedly the best site for supporting under the radar bands such as yours truly – are running another of their Bandcamp Friday events this weekend. That means that we get a bigger percentage of the money from any albums or songs you buy on Friday 5th December. Currently you can get the full digital discography (that’s …
Thanks to Gary for highlighting “The View From an English Breakfast” on his Unsigned show tonight (Monday 1st December). If you want to hear us, and discover some other great under the radar talent, get yourself tuned in between 7-9pm on Crags Radio. And keep in mind Si’s acoustic session at Northern Guitars Cafe is on Thursday alongside Dan and …
Emerging out of what could only be considered a typically long hibernation, we’re back with a new single, “Holding On” released on May 23rd via Bandcamp – but available to hear right this minute. To celebrate this startlingly rare occasion, we’re having a launch party at the Fox and Newt, Leeds on Thursday 23rd May with support from Sweatband and …
So, 2016 and still no teleportation machines. Shame! Thanks to everyone who downloaded my last EP – we’re working on recording 5 more songs that, along with the last 2 EPs, will be given a full release on CD this year. What’s more exciting is that there’s a good possibility that the CD will actually be released on a US label; …
It’s here: You can download the songs for free or contribute any amount, which all goes towards helping me record new songs! Please, please and pretty please spread the word; share / comment / like on Facebook, Twitter, or in conversation at work / over the garden fence / to random strangers in the street. Oh, and see the previous …

I never enter music competitions – battle of the bands? Come on, really? But when I saw in the PRS for Music magazine that you could win a place at The Songwriting Festival (a five day, residential song-writing course with tutors including Andy White, Jez Ashurst and Kim Richey who’ve written number one hits for huge stars) I thought I’d give it …
Just a reminder that if you’re in the Leeds area this weekend I’m playing an acoustic set at Whites Deli in Headingley. It’s free in, and I’m on around 9:30. Support comes from Martin Plock, who’s on about 8:30pm. It’d be great to see you down there as it looks like a great venue and especially as I haven’t …
After getting the Distance Ep out in October I knew it’d seem like a mountain to climb to get EP 2 ready – well at least we’re half way up that mountain now. All the drums, bass, keys and most of the guitars and vocals are recorded and have been sent to Mike Browne’s* excellent new studio in Cardiff. With …
Just a quickie to say hope you’ve had a great Christmas day and are now gently surfing / snoozing / watching tv with a contented expression and full stomach. There’ll be more tunes from me and the rest of the gang early in the new year – we’ve recorded a lot of the instrumentation, but now comes the seemingly endless …
Nice to see “Someone to Love” is featured in Rokline Magazine this week as one of their “iNdiE PiKs: Weekly Spotlight” songs… Always nice to get recognised!
Thanks once again to Tom Robinson for featuring another song from the Distance EP – Good Times, You Said on the BBC Introducing Mixtape on BBC 6 Music. Only 2 more to complete the set! If you haven’t seen it already here’s the video for Good Times, You Said. As usual all comments / shares / likes are welcomed! [youtube …
…from a nice 7/10 review from Whisperin and Hollerin blog. Apparently the reviewer thinks I’d be happier writing for 80’s audiences. Not sure if he means audiences in their eighties. He’s probably right either way.
Hard on the heels of the BBC 6 music airplay, top music blog Fresh on the Net have picked out “The Johnny Depp Memorial Cafe” as one of their “Fresh Faves” this week. If you missed it, here’s the Minecraft-tastic video for said choooooon! Enjoy… [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9SfypWeQAw&w=853&h=480]
Inkwell is a ‘Leeds Mind’ creative arts space for positive mental health and ‘Instrumental’ is their regular music event. I’ve been asked to play this Friday 7th Nov. Don’t be fooled (like I was) about the name – I’m not going to be playing instrumental versions of the Captain Wilberforce songbook, and nor do I want you to keep it …
