"...Now then. I play music, sing, write songs and all that bollocks. I'm in a band called The Yards and I also run an acoustic night called The Little Num Num Club which is far more exciting than me. Anyway, heres a few tunes for your pleasure and there'll be more to come as soon as I've finished watching series 6 of 24 ....oh and then I might be getting an XBOX360 so you might not see me ever again...
YIPPPEEEE..."

Hello, Just stopped in to have a listen, and I must tell you, "Let it go" is really the nicest song I've heard in quite a while. And I've been looking!!!! Keep singing, Lillian

The album is beautiful Chris! It has become part of my everyday life! Thankyou so much for the hard work you put into it! Look forward to seeing you play again soon. Karen x
Thanks for the add, Chris. Only recently re-discovered you via your solo stuff and The Yards. Your voice is something else these days! Loving your own tunes and can't wait to get my copy of 'Ashes'. Nice one, mate. Jay (Arms of Cuba)

DKD's laest album Fear Of Flying was released by Fat Cat in April and it's bloody marvelous! Look:
"The delirious oboe chorus on ’A Myoclonic Jerk’, the following scuzz-bomb of a guitar attack, the honking horn section on ’That Knot Unties?’, the sliding escalation and sudden stop of ’In My Child Mind You Were A Lion’… it’s all indicative of a sublime musical mind." 9 out of 10. Drowned in Sound
"...a very serious and brave LP, full of grand pronouncements and soaring arrangements." Stool Pigeon
