MARCH
Overjoyed to return to the motherland - the sun, the warmth, the people, it was genuinely rejuvenating after 2 years abroad. A nice little run of Faithless shows and a few days with friends and family.
Despite the promises April and May are quiet at the moment…HMU for adventures (or work)!

HAZE
Version 2 in Beta, to be released soon! Hit me up for a beta link, includes Haze+ free while testing. I’m not on a bus, so it’s pretty hard to test from my London flat. All you gotta do is try it out and let me know how it goes. The more feedback, the better!
Available for iPhones on iOS 26.1+
It’s been a quiet few months over winter, so I rebuilt Haze. It’s a glanceable navigation app designed out of the necessity of knowing how much further the 12-hour submarine bus ride is left, and if I should get out of bed. It’s expanded into geofenced alarms, arrival weather information, and much more. A lot of scope creep, and somehow now links with Master Tour to show schedules and set destinations easily.
Core features are 100% free, with no ads, no selling your data, no strings attached.
- Create trips
- Geofenced Alarms
- Arrival Notifications
- Trip History
- Leaderboards
Haze+ is a monthly or annual subscription that adds:
- Master Tour - View schedules, set hotel or venue destinations
- Calendar Link - Select a calendar, and Haze can route to addresses from Events
- Arrival Weather notifications - Early warning of a tough day of rain and outdoor gigs, but at least you’re prepared
- More coming soon!

JANUARY / FEBRUARY
For a change, it’s been quiet. Probably too quiet… But I think I made good use of my time, Went hiking through the English countryside, built Haze V2 (DM me for a beta link!) which is in testing, Lost over 10kg, just you know, stuff.
Excited to be heading down under 🇦🇺🇳🇿 in a few days with Faithless, would love to see you all!
1. My favourite sort of day. -3º, Sunshine, no cloud, no wind. Blissful.
2. The Ridgeway Trail - Somewhere near Wendover
3. So it was cold, windy and raining, and the best part is I went the wrong day and meet up with a hiking buddy… so I did the 40km alone.
4. Still, was a good day out
5. This is an old horse carved into a hill. Apparently.
6. Finally after 57 days my first gig of 2026
7. At least is was a banger of a gig
8. Straight into Rehearsals, back on the SSL
9. With the gang
Another post coming with shameless self promotion of haze :-)

13. When in Dublin, help the local economy
Between tours and other side hustles, I built this small app. Born from the mildest of inconveniences, I just wanted to know how far away we were from the venue when I’m still half asleep in my bunk - Navigation without all the bells and whistles.
So, I made Haze.
It’s a simple, glanceable route tracker.
Of course, none of my current upcoming shows are on a bus… So if you can try it out for me, that’d be amazing!
Looking for testers, DM me for a link. 🤘

Crazy! It’s flown by so quickly. Pretty chuffed really, it’s been absolutely awesome.
Met some people, seen some places, did some stuff. Would do all again.
(I was trying to sum this up in a sentimental, heartfelt way, but that was as close as I got.)
