The new website is starting to take shape, albeit slowly with all my other commitments I have to fulfill this week. It’s been a real learning curve getting to grips with WordPress, web hosting, plugins etc., but I feel like I’m starting to get comfortable with it all now. Maybe it will all be ready to unveil in a few days?!

In other news, this week I’m playing in York with my quartet straight after our weekly rehearsal (this gig will hopefully be filmed and part-posted on this site), as well as heading down to London to play at Charlie Wright’s with Sam Leak, Chris Draper and James Opstad in a new project called Tesseract. The last time I was at Charlie’s I was watching Chris Cheek perform in Rudder, so I’m quite excited about playing there! (And sampling some of the venue’s amazing Thai food…)

Some other cool gigs I’m doing this week are with the Kate Peters Septet in York and the Alec Robinson Quartet in Hull – both bands have just been in the studio recording and mixing so I hope we’ll have to tracks to put up soon as well.
