Then Charlie Winston kicked some musical ass at Cargo at night, man what an amazing show he did. Did not film or take pictures at all as it was such treat to simply be there and be a witness. Amen, out. He is purely amazing. Blows me away each and every time.

Having a listen to Jont now. Jont writes beautiful songs that I am getting to hear a lot lately...will do a proper blog entry on him very soon...:)

Art is also going well, there is a show in Liverpool on the 24th of September that I am actually attending so if you are in that area and keen, might be so that we will hang out, never been to Liverpool before so it will be fun I am sure. Redhouse Originals guys who are curating the show promised the details soon, so once I receive that, I will pass it on...

There will be show in Las Vegas in October that I contributed in, details of that I hope come soon also...




Some other very very thrilling stuff cooking but I need to keep it under the lid now. you know. work in progress that needs doing in place of talking...

Take care now, gotta run, nice of you to make it to this point.
