Enjoy!

Oh, and I'm playing at the Mill Road Winter Fair in Cambridge tomorrow (Dec 3rd). I'm on at 1:20 at the housing Co-op stand (near Argyle Street). It'll be my first ever outdoor gig, so come along to see who will triumph in the battle of My Fingers vs The Cold.

Christmas EP

This year I have an extra-special reason to look forward to Christmas. I have to admit, I am usually a bit of a grouch about the festive season; Christmas usually means a hectic period of driving between other people's houses, invariably whilst feeling ill for at least some of it. I am one of those grumpy sticks-in-the-mud who mutters under their breath when the tinsel appears in Tesco in mid September. But this year is special because Mr. Expendable Friend will be coming home for a visit. He's been in Canada since mid September and I am UBER-excited to see him again, even if just for a couple of weeks. In honour of this, for the first time ever, I've felt Christmas-y enough to make a Christmas EP. But I don't think I could live with myself if I released something Christmas related in November...so December 1st it is! Check back on Thursday if you'd like to hear four new Christmas tunes.

Expendable Friend - Two's a Crowd

Finally! It's here! My new EP!

You can get it for FREE from the link above, or if you're not sure you want to spend THAT MUCH on it you can just listen to it online.

As with every EP I've made, it's been a long journey involving many late nights and much carrying-around-of-audio-files on the Pen of Paranoia (USB stick), but I'm really proud of the result.

I really, really hope you enjoy it. (And I really, really hope that the next one won't take as long!)

Massive thanks to the awesome, awesome folks at UYLF for agreeing to release it through their glorious netlabel!

As you can probably tell from the amount of repetition in this post, I am quite excited.

Look what I made. There's music to go with it, too! Coming soon.

New EP is coming

Any day now. Watch this space.

The hardest part of it seems to be coming up with album art! Guess I wasn't meant to be a graphic designer.

Preparing an hour-long set for Queens' May Ball tomorrow night. Mega excited, as playing at a May Ball has been an ambition of mine for about 10 years! I'm on at 3:30. Yes, that's 3:30 a.m.

More to come after the event, as tonight is probably better spent practising than blogging!

Content coming soon

Promise.

That's not one of those "yeah, yeah, I'll do it some time, just leave it there" promises. Although I am good at those.
