Can it really be that long since I updated this page wow. Well a lot has happened in brief, Secrets for September has gone from strength to strength, we welcomed new singer and friend Ellie Taylor into the band, and we made our debut on a live BBC Radio session before opening for The Magic Band at the Exeter Phoenix, since then we have done around 20 shows inc several festivals such as Kozfest, Plymouth Freedom Fields Festival, Ohmfest and others and we have a good bunch of shows for the rest of the year. We also got to No2 in the Amazon Hot new releases in rock with our single 'Reflections' and tracks from our new cd 'The Festival EP' have been played on many radio stations.

As for other musical projects All Living Fear are to play the Whitby Goth Weekend festival in November this is the bands only show planned for this year to celebrate the bands existence for the last 20 years. This will be a special gig first one with a drummer and a completely different set to the last time we played. There will also be a new All Living Fear CD out for the show.

I'm also doing a few more singer / songwriter gigs and recently have had Mike from Secrets join me on Djembe and we have had a really great sound.

Keep and eye on my blog that I do update more often than this :)

News December 2011

What an unbelievable year 2011 has been, I have achieved so many goals that I never envisages that I would ever do. The last couple Secrets shows have been by far our best, and we have more good things to come. Al being well our album will be released around February and we will spend the summer playing gigs and festivals. Also recently All Living Fear released a single the first with drums for nearly 20 years and has met with great acclaim from various movers and shakers so much so we will be performing in mainland Europe for the first time towards the end of 2012.

Also I'm still on the Radio every week at around 11pm on BBC radio Devon / Cornwall and you can also listen online.
