Hello freaks. Just to let you know that Richie has been busy in the studio recently, working on some new tunes. He’s just released ‘Open Up Your Soul’ on his Last FM page so check it out here. Nice little dub number. As always, would love to get your feedback on these tunes.  C’mon people, [...]

Glastonbury Festival, eh? I’ve been 5 times and had some of the best times of my life there. I love it. But what did my nut in last year was when the organizers announced the ’controversial’ 2008 line-up and loads of people started complaining and predicting it was going to be the worst Glastonbury ever.

Fri, the 19th of December. Thanks to everyone who came along. We gave out loads of copies of the new album GET IT TOGETHER, and played our best performance yet At 9pm the place was empty, which was a little worrying – but during the next hour the place filled up like a kettle waiting [...]

2008. What a year. A year of war and of violence. A year of amazing charity and goodwill. A year of financial ruin for some and unimagined wealth for others. At this time of year I question myself. Have I done enough for others? What did I actually do? How much action did I actually [...]

I’ve been busy mixing the music for the next Gold Digger album over the past few weeks. These are the tracks that we recorded the music for last month at The Premises with Steve Ellis from Planck Music. This time around we’re doing all the mixing and producing at home rather than forking out for [...]

So….Christmas looms. The usual non-Christmasey and more often Pixar-film-based lights are up on Oxford and Regent Street in London and we are all rushing around like loonies trying to buy presents for our nearest and dearest. 2008 has flown by so quickly I can hardly believe were here again, and as usual I am faced with [...]

About this time of the year all the music mags spend hours worrying over the best albums of 2008. You know the magazines: Q, Mojo, Uncut, NME etc. It does seem to be a bit of a defunkt concept these days because as we keep being told, people don’t listen to albums anymore do they? Well I do! And I’ve picked my own [...]

“A spinning, glitzy, neon, shabby-chic snapshot of the state of the nation, 2009.” ‘Get it Together’  -  an album 2 years in the making, first recorded back in October 2006 and finally completed in 2008. For many reasons ,it was a helluva mission which you can read about here.  Engineered by Steve Ellis and Jeff2Bad of Planck Music at The [...]

Was back in the studio yesterday and today laying down the music (guitar, bass, drums & synths) for 10 more  Gold Digger tracks. Great to be back in the studio with sound engineer Steve Ellis. Funny to think that me and Steve used to come raving at this place back in 2000-01, before it got a [...]

Goddamn it, I hate The Daily Mail. A vile, rag of a newspaper. Whenever I stumble across a copy (usually in a takeaway or left on the train) it makes my blood boil with fury at the ignorant, bigoted and outrageous shit they peddle under the guise of ‘news’. I think it’s a sad indictment on [...]
