The album, china and Dr Wu's

Hello,

Firstly, the long-awaited, often-delayed, first solo album is almost ready. The songs are mixed and mastered and the artwork is ready to print. The CD is called 'Lost In Love Town' feauring 12 songs. First track is Cold Cold Day in it's original mix, not the Catt Mix you can obtain as a single(see previous blogs). Most of the songs are in the singer-songwriter mould, a bit of a US vibe with influences such as Tom Petty, Ryan Adams, Jackson Browne and Crowded House.

The inlay is a 16 page booklet, with a lyric sheet and picture to go with each track. You can listen to 4 of the tracks on my soundclick page. Two are available for free download so you can ponder over purchasing the real thing.

It's been a great experience putting the album together, more news to follow on the promotion front-but I'm really happy with it.

Other news:
I played at Dr Wu's in Leeds last Tuesday, which was kind of the first gig to promote this project. Cd single sales were made, and I performed both tracks from it. Like the musical whore I am, Rocket Man was played, although I had the urge to play Lola by the Kinks very strongly... Interesting crowd they get down there!

Also just received the page statistics for this site. Fascinating to anoraks like me. So a big hello to all my fans in the United Arab Emirates and the one person in China-only another 900 000 000 or so to go....

More exciting gig reviews and album news to follow.
