Although I mainly set out to make 'serious' music, I have noticed what a big response comedy stuff tends to get. I try to make my gigs a meeting-point of these two styles - everyone loves a laugh and I'd be the first to admit the acoustic stuff can get a little melancholy at times.

On a personal level 2007 was a bit of a weird year. I was laid off from my job (doing computer techy stuff) in the spring, and I decided I wanted to live my dream of a 'gap year' and do some travelling. I spent the summer journeying round various hidden nooks and crannies of eastern Europe doing some busking. My tunes went down a storm with the good people of the Ukraine! I got into some right old scrapes - buy me a beer and I'll tell you all the stories (or see my travel blog if you don't feel comfortable plying me with alcohol).

There have been some interesting musical highlights too, such as getting my first music video screened at Blackpool Odeon (see my Myspazz page) and playing Tommyfest 2, but I mainly passed the time the time doing the odd gig and writing oodles of great new material.
