Well, well, well.
Well that was a year for us all to remember or forget.
Creatively it had it’s moments. Started well with a nice series of concerts with Christian Vasseur in France and Belgium in January an album taken from live recordings will be released on The 52nd next year.
What? released a record just as lockdown in the UK started. Great timing.

Also a record was recorded with my old partner in sonic crime Tim Harries.

Fourth Page managed to record an album in the chaos between lockdowns. We were featured on the BBC Radio 3 show Freeness. The piece in question was commissioned by Jazz South.

Work has started on a new Beresford Hammond album and I am still tinkering about under the hood of a solo record.
Well that’s it for now. All that is left to say is that wherever you are and however life has treated you in these difficult times, I wish you a peace and as joyous a time as you can make it.
Take care.
