Watch out London, here comes Hannah and she will take no prisoners!

(it’s just a brave front, I’m actually petrified!)

I did a gig on Friday night at the Chanter on Bread Street and afterward, in true rockstar style, got hideously drunk… It took me two days to recover - geez, I must be getting old.

Luckily Mr Website man came round and cheered me up with this pretty new site on Sunday. Not a completely wasted weekend then.

Let me know if any parts of the website don’t work… it may have teething problems, but hopefully not too many.

Apparently some pretty famous people have played there… Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell etc etc.

I was so nervous beforehand… honestly I don’t think I’ve been that nervous before a gig before.

Although as soon as I was on stage it was all cool - that’s afterall where I seem to prefer to be…

It was awesome, the crowd were wicked, and the other bands rocked too.

It was weird playing in a smoky pub… I’m so used to the smoking ban that it was quite a yucky feeling playing in smoke again, it certainly didn’t do my voice any good. But the venue itself was wicked, despite the smoke.

I’m relying on the kindness of friends and musical acquaintances to get recording done… which means I can’t exactly push them for a deadline too often!

In the meantime I’m doodling with websites and contemplating the need for a PA. If only!

My day job is busy, so I’m all tired n’ shit. However it comes with perks - they fly me to London quite often so I can do gigs down there if I get organised!

Be patient with me, please. Beautiful music shall reward you if you are.

Drop me an email and I’ll add you to my mailing list.

I thought I’d have a shiny new website by now… but I don’t.

But I have been recording with the band. So that’s a bonus!

I’m sorry I’ve been slack with this blog… I must admit I kinda forgot about it for a month or so. Oops.

New band-member John (on bass) is such a blessing. What a tremendous addition he is to the line-up.

* am very lucky!

Anyway, not much to report really. We are recording rough demos to see how we are sounding (I can never concentrate when we’re practicing, so prefer to take it away and listen).

I got me some cowboy boots in Canada over christmas… they make me feel good… like all warm and fuzzy and confident.

It’s all just a security blanket, I know it… but hey, everyone’s got their crutch… mine just happens to be shoes.

yeeee-haaaawwwwwrrrr

See y’all oot n’ aboot shortly… with ma’ new boots!

So anyway, this’ll be for news and updates… and general ramblings about my music and philosophies! Ain’t you excited?
