This trip is really whizzing by, I can’t believe it’s two weeks since we were wrapping up on recording Hopscotch Requiem in Martyn’s living room. It’s really an amazing thing that Martyn did – getting 10 muso’s together who’d never met before and holding a space for us to collaborate and make something in such…
I’m in Nottingham (right now in the @fibrecamp basement studio at Lacemarket House – very chilled and lovely) and staying in town at least until tomorrow. I’m aiming to be back in London for Wednesday afternoon, I’ve a couple of things I want to do, I’m hoping to get to see Hugh MacLeod on Wednesday…
Today and tomorrow I’m doing a tour of innovation spaces in the Sheffield area as part of my participation in CollaboJam on Wednesday. I’ll be stopping over that evening but from Thursday morning I’m open to suggestions again. There’s nothing to say I can’t stay somewhere else in Sheffield. Or maybe somewhere nearby in…

Megan and Stephen Appleton drove around the south-eastern coast of Angus for an evening, including an excitable encounter with flying puffins. Two very different experiences with my hosts so far,…
The first night of my odyssey took me to Wood Green to enjoy the hospitality of my very good friend Francesca Elston, her adopted family and then a little later, Dr Hadfield and his hyperactive puss. It all felt very normal, ordinary people that I spend time with in London anyway. Just for some reason…
Never ask me to estimate how long it will take to move out of a flat. Just tell me what to do when and keep on at me until I’ve done it. Just don’t tell me now and don’t keep on at me now, please. I’ve got more important things to do right now. This…
A writing day today – had an amazing time making music in Glasgow but hadn’t quite hit my stride in getting the balance between making, resting and documenting. Well, actually I think the balance was fine, it just meant very little documenting. I’m now a few miles out of Dundee, inland a little and towards…
