December 2011 – New Cheer’s Eve and a freebie download type thing.

Well, here we are. The eve of New Years Eve. New Years eve eve. Safely installed within the depths of London I am entertaining the idea of a new year in a new City.

London so far has been kind to me, my new home is one of the most beautiful spaces that I have ever been lucky enough to rest my bones within. I have been recording some new songs using the acoustics of this amazing space, which will, at some point this year be available for ears outside of these walls.

SO, 2012. Things that are definitely happening…the European tour is pretty much all the way to being routed and organised, flights booked and diaries filled. This is pretty darn exciting, I am looking forward to trying out new ways in which to perform, as I gather up the nuts and bolts of my songs past, present and future to create a more substantial whole performance.

Other definites will be the release of some sort. This I am pretty, very, loads excited about. The songs thus far have come from my time away in the heat of a summer in Spain and the transforming Spring that led up to it. Recording starts, well as from now…the plotting and the production plans have begun in earnest so fingers crossed for a spring/summer release.

And perhaps another slightly unrelated definite is the promise I have made to myself, to complete the challenge of a triathlon.  This is a ten year promise that I have been keeping with myself, and one I hope to be able to keep to this year. Training begins as soon as my New Years dancing shoes get shelved…

To everyone who may glance at this, Happy New Year, and all the very best for 2012.  Here is a freebie if you fancy…a song that I have reformed in part, for a very special someone, Sam Cooke’s Cupid, have a listen if you fancy.
