Just dropped a show from my archives, going back to 2017 for a special I did.

You’ll find it and other good stuff on my Substack via my bio…

So much fun being part of the signing session for the new record by
This journey started for me about 18 months ago when Chip gave me a shout, asking for some help with his new record.
We had a couple of writing days at my studio, which were really productive, we also had another artist do some work remotely, sadly, not all@of it made the record, but when I listen to vocals and remember back to when she wrote and performed them in front of us, it really is like magic was plucked from the air.
To hear how the album has evolved over time to having the vinyl in my hands to seeing eager fans coming down and getting their copy on release day, meeting Chip and being stoked out, talking to me whilst I spin tunes in and around the album, it all feels rather special and I’m so excited to see where Chips career goes from here.

Thankyou Sarah and Lawrence at Capsule for being the open minded, music loving people that they are and thank you Chip for getting me involved.

Well, I’ve seen a few times, last time he was in Brighton was on the beach and I was lucky enough to spend a little time with him, and the rest of the band.
Tonight’s gig did not disappoint, the crowd were maybe a little Monday evening, but the encore went down!
Thanks Kamasi for stopping by our city again, you’ll always be welcome here… x

A mellow for me… swung by and picked up the box set, sadly was a little@late for the other bits I wanted, so headed into Brighton, first stop which is a great place and, in my opinion, a little overshadowed among Brighton record shops, but it’s well worth a visit, picking up there. Wandered past which had the usual queue but I wasn’t after anything particular at this point so carried onto to say hi to Euan, and got the Sister Nancy and the comp. Bumped into the legend and wandered back to the and picked up their last copy of the release…

Lots of people out and about buying records, remember though, that record shops exist every day of the year, they are there to turn you into music you haven’t discovered yet, so make them your second home. iInstead of a subscription, buy a record a month and really listen to it…

Happy record store day to everyone…. X
