comic relief album now available; tour and terra latest

16.3.13


Hi;  My Comic Relief project to write and record an album in 24 hours was successfully completed earlier today.  The album is now available to download from my online music store.

Thanks to all who turned up to help and also all those who sponsored me.  The Red Nose Day donations page is still active; the project has thus far raised over £2700.

I'm still in the middle of my Reduced Circumstances tour; next Saturday I'll be at the Glasgow Stand.  See my gigs page for a list of the remaining dates.

My debut novel TERRA comes out on July 18th; it's already available for pre-order from Amazon.
