Soldiers, Limocello and Fighting Fit

Hey there my lovelies,

I know it's been a while since I wrote, but I'll be quick.

What a difference a year can make, At the start of the year I was introduced to producer Nick Patrick (Russell Watson, Katherine Jenkins) and was asked to pen a song called: 'If You Can' with my writing partner Jason Nolan.

From that one song has come a true bevvy of opportunities, one of which is just about to be released this October. The Soldiers, is a 'man band' signed by Warner Brothers / Rhino, which I had the fantastic opportunity to pen the debut single "Coming Home" and the Christmas single - up against the X FACTOR crowd... ha ha!

So I hope you all go out and buy your copy of the single and album which it finally drops...

Limoncello

I have decided not to drink anymore Limocello - it's a fantastically tasty liquor, best drunk after an Italian meal (i find) However it gives me crazy dreams, where I believe I can see into the future and do weird things with gummy bears - don't ask... However I do recommend you have a tipple of this wonderful Lemon based booze.

Fighting Fit,

Well most of my summer was spent programming and arranging "The Soldiers" album - so I didn't have anytime for the gym, jogging or yoga - and unfortunately my belly is showing the signs of this... so it's NO CHEESE / WINE or eating after 6 for me for the next couple of months - I'm traveling in the new year i wanna pose on the beach!

Righty ho - see said it wouldn't be long,

I'm off'd don't forget to log on my website, especially the forum and let me know what you're up to.

New Year and a New Life....

My new year's resolutions this year.

To make 90 day plans every 90 days! I always find it too hard keep a new year's resolution going for a whole year. Somewhere near March I forget. So I think it's better to keep it current.

Things I Want To Achieve This Year

1. The competition of my long awaited album. The Butterfly Observations.
2. The writing, producing of a SXY2
3. Write for more artists...
4. Hit Single
5. UK / Europe Tour

My theme for this year will be Unite Against Apathy.

I think Apathy is our worst enemy - and who's gaining from our Apathy - all the people/companies/governments that we bitch about but do nothing about! So I'm starting my own war against 'not being bothered' - "nothing happens if you can't be bothered"


Half the things I plan to do, never get done because of Apathy - I get tired, Desperate Housewives comes on TV or I get drunk - well no more. I've only one shot at this and I'm sure not going to waste the opportunities, because Strictly Come Dancing came on!

If you wish to join my crusade Against Apathy I've created a facebook group which you can join!


Take Care all...

and I'll speak to you soon!
