Feels like the last couple of months have been a blur. Covering the length of the UK many times playing shows in theatres, arts centres and dive bars, you name it. Hitting 30 this last year got me thinking it's time for a change of scene. Over the past few years I've been increasingly disillusioned by the path the UK is taking and I realized whenever I traveled and returned, I instantly wanted to board the next plane outta there. When looking where to move, the Isle of Man kept coming up as a strong contender among the possibilities. When I'm touring, most of the time is spent in my car, in traffic, sometimes several hours drive away. Late nights, long drives, hotel rooms, sounds rock and roll in your 20's. But now when I'm not touring, a quiet countryside walk or days fishing sounds ideal 😅 Isle of Man, feels like the perfect base and oasis I can retreat to from the chaos of life. I can't wait to start discovering the place! The bulk of my work will still be in the UK playing gigs and I will be checking in on family and friends whenever I can, but I wanted this next decade look different from the last by making a new start. Here's to the next chapter! 🇮🇲 Ps, I'm sorting the final details for my second album. It will include some household names in the country music world and if I can pull it all together, it will be truly epic! More on that soon... Live free Onwards 🫡

Had a great chat with Tania from @npub1yn4m...tec0 about how bitcoin can empower indie artists and creators through the value for value model. Love the mission and ethos of this company. Thank you for giving me the platform to share this message! Full interview > Shout out @Wavlake @Fountain @npub173se9w9ehcd58lpsagnu0jckyy9wmctj22e6495jlwel9ws4xxvsysnvgw

Tonight's venue got me making my own brew got me feeling like this 😂

Early V4V release today of my new single 'Can't Promise You The World'. I wrote this back in February 2024 in my flat on a rainy day in northern west England, wistfully looking back at the good times travling and gigging on the road. This acoustic version will hopefully make the cut for my studio album which will be recorded later this year. In the meantime, enjoy! 🎧

EARLY V4V release! ⚡🎶🎧 ‘Strangers To Lovers’ was written with Vinnie Paolizzi when I was in Nashville last August. We spent most of the writing session catching up on what had happened since we last saw each other in 2018. When we finally got round to writing, we came up with this tune in a few minutes, one of of the easiest co-writes I’ve had thus far. I wanted to do an acoustic version of the tune to showcase the lyric and story, so took it to the talented James Wyatt at Sloe Flower Studio and explained, I didn’t want anything fancy, I just wanted something real. We talked for a while about influences and soon discovered we were both big fans of Dave Cobb, Jason Isbell and that school of classic production / songwriting. I know this track will make it on the next album, which I will hopefully be recording later this year. But it’s been a while since I released anything and wanted to put this song out there the way I play it live. This will be in the set as well as other new songs on my tour with Carter Sampson which starts this Friday! Hope you enjoy the new tune and hopefully catch you at a show @Wavlake:

LYRICS I could’ve stayed in, gone left instead of right Or done a thousands things, instead of meeting you that night You could’ve called a friend, you could’ve called it quits You could’ve walked home before midnight hit But you didn't It happened in a minute and you almost passed me by I was holding the door when you threw me a smile Life's twists and turns left us where we began We went from strangers to lovers, and back to strangers again It can all change, so damn fast Our future plans, became the past What I miss the most, it don’t sound like much But it's calling your number and you picking up It only took an hour of an ordinary night For you to steal you my heart, without even trying Life's twists and turns left us where we began We went from strangers to lovers and now we’re strangers again (Instrumental) It took about a year to know it wasn't right I didn't want to change, you didn't want to fight Life's twists and turns left us where we began We went from strangers to lovers and back to strangers again From strangers to lovers and now we're strangers again #tunestr #newmusic #v4v #songwriting
