On Tuesday I had the joy of being filmed and interviewed on my boat for a documentary about gentrification by French-German cultural TV channel ARTE.
They had stumbled across my Hackney Gentrification Song and wanted to find out the story.

folklore at the boogaloo
Next Sunday 13th May I am playing at The Boogaloo in Highgate with a brilliant guest musician visiting from out of town. The venue is lovely and quite a celeb hangout by all accounts, possibly due to that fact that Shane MacGowan from The Pogues lived above it for years!
The promoter is Folklore who have a reputation for putting on a great show so I am sure the other acts will be a treat.
I am on at 5.30pm and there is music all afternoon from 3.30pm. Do come down if you are in the area. The Boogaloo, 312 Archway Road, Highgate, N6 5AT
stuck on you demo with iain
i am a very happy chap to have my old musical mate Iain back from his year training to be a teacher… we had a go at demoing an old new track today about old love… here it is…
The soundcloud player seems to be having some ‘in beta’ issues with firefox at the moment. Hopefully one of the above players will work for you.
