And so a crazy 4am idea becomes soon approaching reality...

An evening of free-thinking and optimism, music and words:
'Music and Freedom: Imagining Beyond Consumer Capitalism...' will be a truly unique event involving performances from well known Brighton artists that either have something directly to say about the subject or whose music somehow represents hopefulness, human freedom, and self-expression; plus short video clips or 'soap box' style speeches from individuals and representatives of interesting community groups...

At long (LONG!) last, I'm proud to announce that my debut album will finally be released on November 6th 2010.
The official launch will be at the King Alfred Ballroom Suite in Brighton and will be a downright musical extravaganza if I do say so myself!
More details to come as they are confirmed...

In the meantime I'm playing a show next week - bringing Taqwacore/ Asian punk band The Kominas to Brighton for one night, with support from Dirty Scavenger.

This Thursday night I'll be playing a charity fundraiser for 'Help for Heroes' who support "wounded Servicemen and women of every colour and creed."
Whatever your political views our boys and girls taking orders on the front line deserve all our respect and love...

If you're near Redhill come down it's a great cause and it'll be an amazing (and very varied!) night; here's the Facebook event listing:

On Sunday 11th April I'll be playing an acoustic fundraiser with Olwen Ringrose in support of The Lighthouse Project in Nepal. I have Nepalese family so this cause is pretty close to my heart...
