NEWS UPDATE: Thursday 9th June 2022
Sadly I’m gonna have to put things on hold for a while.
I’ve ploughed a lot of time and ca$h into recording music and videos and releasing them with very little revenue return.
The pandemic has hit the arts and entertainment industries particularly badly and speaking personally, it has wiped me out.
To attempt to put a band together and start touring any time soon is out of the question and I’m simply not a solo performer.
I’ll continue writing and if I’m happy with material I’ll put it out there in some shape or form, but for the moment I’m suspending all band activities while I concentrate on trying to make some sort of living.
Lots of love to all of you.
Wishing you health, wealth and happiness.

*NEWS UPDATE: Saturday, 9th July, 2016*
After a series of extremely productive rehearsals, we're heading for the studio on Monday 11th July to initially record four new songs, with a view to a full album release in 2017.
We will be recording in a full *live* situation for the first time since our debut EP in 1988, as all our subsequent recordings were done mainly in small studios using drum machines and computers.
The 12-string Rickenbacker guitar and Hammond organ are being polished up as I type!
All being well, we'll have something really good in the bag over the next couple of weeks.
It feels good to be back!
Slainte!
