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.

News August 2011

Wow where does the time go, well most of my time has gone on Secrets for September, we have started playing live and enjoying the experience and we have 75% of our album recorded and hope to have it released by the end of the year. I have also been working in the background on some demos for new All Living Fear material and we have also re recorded some songs for free download that you can get here still strange to think that All Living Fear will be 20 years old next year. I have updated the gigs page with all that is coming up.

News June 2011

Lots of things have been going on the last few months, my new band 'Secrets for September' are about to release their first single as a band on June 10th via iTunes and Amazon MP3 the song is titled 'Upside Down'.
Recently at one of my acoustic shows at the Picturehouse I was honored to perform with my good friend Arthur Brown, we did 2 songs Devils Grip and That's how strong my love is, you can see a video of devils grip on YouTube.
I am not doing as many acoustic shows at the moment as Secrets For September is getting more and more busy, but I hope to get some new songs online by the end of the year. I have also been slowly working on with All Living Fear on some new material but this is in preparation for the bands 20th anniversary next year.

Recently 2 download only eps were released include my debut acoustic ep 'Broken Strings' and a new All Living Fear ep 'Broken dream' both eps have had the thumbs up from Mick Mercer you can see the review here.
