Cardiff was a touch of fantastic, the Kala boys gifted me this glorious resonator, I love it! Southend was also great, it's great to see these sold out shows for Imelda and her brave change in music, although, it is a departure the onstage vibe is electric and for me it's great to have the freedom to bring what I can to it without trying to replicate the album too much. Guilford, I received this incredible gift from Orange amps OB1 500, it's my weapon of choice from now on, it has subtleties but it can sound like a mean little bastard too, the overdrive fuzz and mixer are genius and perfect for things like 'leave me lonely' very happy with this!

Ipswich was great, Cardiff tonight, here's our handsome crew, from left to right:Fran,Nick,James,little Nige and slightly bigger Nidge,not sure what any of them do but they're all top lads!

We'll we haven't even gone on yet and I feel like I'm seeing the world, Ipswich highlights being the public toilet covered in flies and city comics, but, look I found a great record shop where I bought a signed copy of don Estelle and Windsor Davies album!!

These two beauties are our home for the next month, tonight is Ipswich regent theatre, now if I remember rightly there's a fantastic comic shop here called city comics, I'm coffee'd up and raring to go!

Starting our long overdue tour with Imelda and her expanded super group!
