Still dusty from tour, still very grateful to everyone that showed up and helped sell out @ivyhousenunhead London hug and pint Glasgow @therossybar Brighton @thehollowaynorwich @luke.rea for the brains @alfiejoney for the@spoons all the other venues n sound engineers and promoters and to all the new and old pals we hung and jammed with on the way @caitlin__gilligan for supporting @carljbennett for TMing @natphilipps for shredding tunes on sax @samuelhollismusic for the Danny T bass lines. It was a privilege to play with you all. Like JME said on his latest freestyle you gotta spin the tune 2000 times to pay the artist one pence, so to all those who bought tickets and came out and heckled and sank the juice fair play you keep this whole thing rolling. Funny how much nicer it is playing geetar by the river instead of with the blues on brick lane till you take a tea cake to the head Cheers folks Now up in Glen dye far from London playing with @robinadamsmusic for @romancandlepromotions Playing first co headline at @stmaryscreativespace with Robin in May before heading to Devon to play the Drewe Arms.
