Life imitates art imitates life... It was fun and slightly curious to see a 4 x 6 canvas poster of me on the wall at @sortie_13 in Pessac (Bordeaux) recently based on a photo from my first show there in 2019. It's an honour to know that I made the hall of fame as it's a lovely, quirky, little venue run by charming people who really care about the music. Thanks guys ❤️
G'day. I've just been in Sydney, Australia for a couple of weeks catching up with family and friends and preparing for my UK tour which starts this Thursday at The Night Owl in Birmingham. I'm about to fly back to the UK right now... 🦘
It's always difficult moving between continents like this. It sometimes feels like I live three lives or have three identities: in Australia, UK and Spain. So this post goes out to everyone else out there who also lives with a continental identity crisis!
Here is a cheeky photo I definitely didn't take in Australia! Anyone who can guess the exact location gets a free ticket to a show of their choice.

Some visual highlights from my recent show at The Grove Nottingham. We had a fab time serenading a sold out show in this brilliant up and coming Nottingham venue inside Sneinton Markets. Want to see more? I'll play a bunch of shows in the UK and Paris in May and June!

Some visual highlights from my recent show at The Grove, Nottingham. It was a blessing to play to a sold-out crowd at this special, intimate venue inside Sneinton Markets which has made a name for itself for up and coming UK artists. It was also the first show for my new UK lineup, that definitely kept us on our toes!
Want to see more? I'll be bringing my brand new lineup of ace musos Antoine Paine drums and Will Sketches guitar to a bunch of UK shows this May and June. This will be my biggest UK tour yet and we would love to see you there.

Amazing show at The Grove, Nottingham a couple of weeks ago. It was a privilege to play a sell-out show in my adopted home town, thanks to everyone who came out to see me and support Sun & Moon. It was also a great chance to show off my new band of Antoine Paine (drums) and Will Sketches (Guitar). Nothing like a sell-out show with no rehearsal to keep a new band line-up on their toes, so thank you again Nottingham!
I'll be back on the road in the UK in May. Who's coming?!

LONDON CALLING... I'll be back in the capital to finish my UK tour on June 4th at The Social. It's always a pleasure to bring my brand of 70s influenced funk and soft-rock to London as I spent so many years here and have so many fond memories. Who's in?
Along the way I'll also play BIRMINGHAM, LEEDS, NEWCASTLE, MANCHESTER and EDINBURGH too. Come and see me in action with my ace band of funk all stars. We supply the grooves, you bring the moves!
