i’m off to nottingham for the weekend to see an old uni friend for her 30th (80’s themed party! hurrah)
bring on the lydia from beeltejuice costume…..
feelin’ brighter, got that fire back in my belly, love is everywhere & do you know what? - i’d sooner be ME who values friends, family, down time more than anything else in the world, than someone who only has “space” in their live for work and thinking about themselves….
my life is perfect as it is , and if romance follows later on in life…well that’s ok with me, but i’m not going to beat myself up about not yet finding it ……and the wanker who hurt me recently ?
I met Scott Matthews last night post-gig. He is such a righteous dude. I love him . He was so so so so incredibly talented ( he had about 5 guitars!! awesome = open tunings/ 12 string , nylon string etc)
Please if you are bored and want some bloody intensely awesome music - check him out….you might know “Ellusive” he won an Ivor Novello award for.
Albums are “Passing Stranger” and “Elsewhere” (feat. Robert Plant no less!)
I can’t recommend him enough ( oh - maybe if you like Jeff Buckley you will like….he has been compared to him , but he’s much softer, mellower)
He’s only a young lad from Wolverhampton….might not have made it big “across the pond! “
but you should check him out ….

Yay for new music<3 I just happened upon his cover of Bob Marley’s Is this love,rather amazing, pity I’ve never heard of him before. But I think I’m gonna be looking into more of his music thanks you :D
you’re welcome! to be fair most people in England haven’t heard of him either …i went into work all excited and they all looked at me blankly ( they haven’t heard of Ryan Adams either) ….and yes , do check out “ellusive” - it’s gorgeous, plus he’s done a cover of The Smiths “a boy with a thorn in his side” which is beautiful.
