David Bowie has a long history of picking great collaborators. Eno, Fripp, Belew, Alomar, to name but a few.
I’m really looking forward to the new Blackstar album and to get myself in the mood I’ve been listening to Ben Minded who plays guitar on it.
He’s fabulous. Have a listen to this, or to the Flux album on Spotify.
Bad Elephant music is having a January sale. This includes my latest album Fit the Fourth, which you can now get for a fiver (or £2 to download).
Here’s the link to the rest of the catalogue and here’s some more info, straight from the Elephant’s Mouth:

I’m doing a new podcast. I have loads of recordings from gigs hanging around, so I thought I’d share them and tell you some of the entirely true stories that happened at these gigs.
Here’s Episode 1: A Big Egg
Joe has written a blog post about how he created all the artwork for Fit the Fourth. Click here to read it!
This image is several different views of my tentacle puppet stitched together. I really like the way the light plays through the slime dripping of the tentacle. Slime makes everything better
I have some live gigs booked

I’m really looking forward to getting out of London for some of these gigs. I’m hoping to get to other parts of the country and keep up the pace of about one per calendar month (I know, that might not sound a lot, but it’s plenty when you’re balancing it around full time work!).
If you’re able to come along, please do, it would be great to have a nice turn out. If you can’t but you know people in London, Winchester or Brighton who might want to come, please let them know!
