Newsflash! I am releasing a single, Having A Good Time on 7th December, to mark the climate summit in Copenhagen. All proceeds will go to tree planters Treesponsibility. Here's the video:
This song was written during a period when I stopped a train loaded with coal outside Drax power station, with 28 others. The book in which I was writing the lyrics was actually confiscated by police who raided my home, and I had to start them again from scratch!
Theo, I'm crap with this internet thing, just got your message from April!!. I do get to London now and again playing at the Punchbowl in Mayfair. was hoping to be playing some music for the new Sherlock Holmes film but some fellow musicians used another piper (brendan mccauley)while i was out of town. I can pop down to London anytime really so it'd be good to catch up and get on a stage or just catch up. dicky deegan.
