So i love cycling and I love playing music.
This spring I am going to combine the two with a cycling tour joined by my fine musical friend Tim Graham and a lovely Irish violin playing lass called Katie.
We are doing shows in Bath, Bristol, Swindon and Oxford. I will put up more info on the shows in a bit but for the time being here is a sneaky peek of what our trip should look like:

By far and away the highlight of my time at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year was seeing a play called ‘Dirty Great Love Story’.
The show is doing a run at the Soho Theatre in March and I was super chuffed that they have used my music for the trailer which you can see below. Please go and see it, it is utterly superb.

It was a cold cold Sunday evening and the cycle there was epic but what a warm welcome we got on arrival at Whipps Cross Hospital Radio station.
Ian and Terry have a lovely little empire of buttons and dials and toys and microphones and other wonderful things. Candy and I sang three songs live on air and I did an interview which you can now hear online here – www.wxhr.org.uk/listenagain.php#rgib.
Candy and I had a stab at recording a new old song yesterday called Joanna. Have a little listen below and let us know what you think of it. Might be time to get in the brass section perhaps or maybe just leave it naked as is… #whoknows
