The other day I wrote my first post for MusicThinkTank.com - a really great collaborative blog with contributors from across the spectrum of ‘what’s happening in the music industry these days?’ - I was really excited to be asked to blog for them, as there are some fantastic thinkers writing for the site that I’ve […]

The last couple of months have been a really interesting time for me in terms of getting to experiment with, understand and conceptualise about the world of interactive web tools refered to as ‘Social Media’. Next week is the first London Social Media Cafe Musicians get together (we need a new title!) - so I […]

I’m in North Lincolnshire at the moment, with Dave Bainbridge, guitarist and keyboardist with the band Iona. Iona have been a favourite band of mine for years, so when Dave contacted me via Myspace about being involved in his new project, ‘Open Sky’, I was rather excited.
Yesterday was spent mainly improvising and finding out how […]
