Morning all.

I released an album today, I’d love you to check it out.

It’s called “Certain Stories” - 12
sad songs with glimmers of hope sprinkled throughout. An “it’s cold outside, but the heating is on” record.

Here are some links to stream it: lastnightfromglasgow.lnk.to/certainstories

Heading to Brighton tomorrow to play Folklore Rooms.

Advance 🎟️ sales have been s-l-o-w to say the least, so if you know people down that way who’d like a lovely evening of acoustic music, send them our way. Half price option available, should anyone need it:

Moneypenny steps out of the shower, picks up her conditioner and does a double take at the label.

Her eyes widen and she runs screaming to MI6, wearing just a towel*

To be fair, I did not understand this until my late 20’s.

If I was paid £50,270 and got a pay rise to £50,271 then I would only pay 20p more income tax than before.

That is still in the top EIGHTEEN PERCENT of the UK population.

It’s album release week!

I’m sandwiching Friday’s album release day with gigs at Folklore Rooms, Brighton on Thursday and Exchange, Bristol, on Saturday.

If you’re near those places, come hang out.

If you’re not, check out the album!

A day late raising my monthly glass of whisky to the little guy. Finished off the bottle too. Japanese whisky remains undefeated.

One week today I’ll be playing in Colchester for the first and second time*, as part of this incredible charity all dayer.

Looking forward to catching up with a bunch of old pals, making some new ones, and singing a bunch:

My album isn’t out until 28/11 but I’ll have a few copies of the limited blue vinyl with me, and a few more of the ecomix (the ones I’ve been sent are a cool transparent red marble) and CDs.

If you preordered, it should be with you before then!

IT ARRIVED.

My third Non Canon record, pictured with the original paintings that I’ll be passing onto their new home soon.

Really chuffed with how it came out, thanks to @artisangossip.bsky.social’s design skills.
