Well...

This time last year I was standing in the cold at a farmers market, doing a meat raffle for the British Legion... Things have changed a lot since then. Then again, not that much, as I still like doing raffles (we did a great one for the Jambalaya on the Bayou event recently). But of course, other things have definitely changed.... I have a great record label in Atlantic, and a supportive management team at ATC. I have the support of the BBC and encouragement from legends such as Burt Bacharach and Elton John. I have just sat down to read all the reviews today and they are all overwhelmingly positive. As I am writing this I am stunned at how well it is all going. Thank you to all of you, for your support and good wishes.

I just wanted to make the most beautiful, magical and special album I could possibly make. I spent many years dreaming about this album, and as the years went on and my luck waivered, hope was my constant companion. I really felt somewhere deep down that one day, I would get the music out there.

And ........now I'm here, writing this message, announcing the release of the album on Monday. I have to stand back for a moment and pause to acknowledge just how amazing that is! On the way I have met some wonderful people, who have helped and encouraged me, and who have kept my spirits up. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone past and present, who has helped bring me here.

I would like to thank my friend and co-pilot Steve Brown, who produced this record and who put his faith and belief in me, and who gave me a break. The making of this record has been an adventure for both of us.

I hope it becomes as much of a companion for you as it has been for me.

Hi,
I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for supporting the Red Cross Event that I organised at the Half Moon in Herne Hill in aid of those affected by the Pakistan floods.

We raised an incredible grand total of......£5967!

Thank you to everyone who attended the event, bought raffle tickets, or donated online and to all those who sent messages of support.

It was a community event and I would like to personally thank Pullens Restaurant, the Half Moon pub, and Atlantic Records for donating the incredible raffle prizes.

I have to thank Atlantic Records chairman, Max Lousada who, on behalf of the record company, generously offered to double the amount we raised, taking us up to this total.

I made a short commemorative film of the event which you can view here. It was shot by Neil Gordon and edited and put together by myself and Freddie from Electric Light Studios.

I hope you enjoy it:)




Thanks again for your support, and if anyone would still like to make a donation as part of the event, my just giving site will be live for another week.
