  • A very special thing happened. The wonderful and amazing people at Kanile’a Ukulele sent me this beautiful ukulele to record my third album with. I’m completely overwhelmed - it’s absolutely stunning! Highly recommend you get over to their website - http://kanileaukulele.com - their instruments are exquisite!

I’m trying to think of a song that I could play on it  - something beautiful that will do it justice! I’ll try and record a video with it soon.

  • I’m still waiting for the cough to subside, it’s clinging on for dear life. Going to the doctors next week to make sure I don’t have bronchitis or something terrible. Today I finished a new song. But then decided I didn’t like it. So now I’m re-writing it. I’ve also been working on artwork and concept ideas for album no. 3, which is coming along nicely. And I’m in the middle of writing a ukulele tab book for my songs - limited edition hardback! I was going to try and keep that a secret until I’ve finished it, but I’m very excited about it. Plus I really want you all to know that I’m busy doing lots of things and not just sitting around in my pyjamas watching Magnum P.I. DVDs and eating Nutella straight from the jar.



  • This is tonight! 8pm!

  • Tonight’s Family label extravaganza was spectacular! And just when you think you can’t love a band any more than you already do, they ask you to perform onstage with them in one of the coolest venues in the city! Thank you Pearl and the Beard!! We performed our version of Katy Perry’s Firework, I hope somebody somewhere has photos/videos?! Although, there will always be the one we made earlier!… http://youtu.be/XOMWHPvNKxc
Many thanks to all the lovely people in the audience, and the well-wishers who came to say hello! Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I’m now branded with family label - my new tat! You like?
P.S. No, it isn’t permanent. :P
