I hope 2018 was a good year for you. I’ve been busy, not just with my writing. Publishing other people’s work online in the magazine has kept me busy and I haven’t really paid sufficient attention to this page. I’m from a generation that was taught not to flaunt itself in public. However, I should probably bring this page up to date or it will start to look like a museum piece.

This year was busy. Apart from getting out and playing a bit more, I had two previous CDs, Something Else and Something Else Again, remastered and I re-released them.
Have also released a longtime project, an album Christina Barrie and I recorded with now-deceased French singer Serge Kerval. Better late than never. I never was a very fashionable person. Besides, it needed to be heard. It’s got some great keyboard playing on it. Posted some of it on YouTube.
I also put out another album, Nothing Else, which I finished more than ten years ago, but never released because I wasn’t out there playing. Actually, I was in & out of China for the best part of those ten years. I haven’t got around to “launching” Nothing Else yet and I suppose I should do something about that next year.
I am very grateful to all those who supported me throughout this time.
Hoping 2019 is a good year for us all.
