This tour in December is the beginning of a tour that will stretch well into next year. I will be playing Europe from June onwards with more UK dates added in the Autumn. My German agent is working on dates in the next months and will take offers that make sense for us to play. Some people keep on asking … Read More

I can now announce that the Circus is complete for the December UK Tour. Gavin Griffiths will be returning to the drum kit with Robin Boult on guitars, Steve Vantsis on bass and John Beck on keyboards. We will also be joined by Doris Brendel who is singing backing vocals for us on all the shows as well as supporting … Read More

The new poster design from Mark Wilkinson using the image I had always wanted for the front cover of the original album plus a tip of the hat to ‘Weltschmerz’ in the other elements 🙂 We will get banners and larger formats in place on the new website launching in the next months to help promote the tour.

A couple of years back at Cropredy festival I met up with a Welsh artist who over a couple of ales suggested we should get together and he would paint a portrait of me.

With this being Facebook and all; well of fake news and font of conjecture I thought I’d nip this in the bud in case some people got genuinely upset. Despite some rumours filtering out I’ve not had a heart attack and am most definitely not dead yet. Last night I was in the Royal Edinburgh hospital with Simone just after … Read More

I received this on an e mail this Parlophone today which puts a bit of a new pressure on us all as we both have to gauge the pre orders. “Just so you are aware, this is a limited product so we are only doing one factory run! Once it’s gone, it’s gone – as they say! ” I am … Read More

Just to let you know I’ve booked this in as a one off on September 6th.
