No gigs in the past week, so while I try and remember on which side of a keyboard the low notes are I hope you've been enjoying all the lovely dry weather in the last few days!

I've had chance to do quite a bit of recording though. Evenings seem to be the best time to do creative work, and that's obviously easier if you don't have to jump in a car and go to a gig that night. The Paradise Street album is getting nearer to completion by the day now. I'm really excited about it. Don't forget to visit it's myspace page to listen to a few of the finished songs.

That's about all for now. Tonight I shall hopefully catch some of the US open tennis, where I'm hoping British sport will have more luck than the shafting Lewis Hamilton got yesterday. Do Ferrari actually control F1?? I hope this explains why I follow stock car racing: here the cars can legally belt one another which makes things far simpler.

Don't forget Sunday night (the 14th) at Marshall's Bar, Hebden Bridge. I'm doing the main slot on the LiveSpace night so please feel free to come along.
