Spring is definitely making it's presence felt here in Berlin. Perfect timing for new beginnings. On 31st March, the single 'Broken Heart' will be released on iTunes, followed by the album 'It's about time' available on vinyl as well as on all download platforms on 22nd April. I begin my tour next week and will be on the road for the next 3 months promoting the album. I tour regularly but it's now 5 years since I released 'Sixtyfour'. So, off I go again. This time with the bonus of a wonderful fan base, my new found N1M friends. Thanks to each of you for your support and I'd be thrilled to meet some of you on my travels. The list of shows is published in full on my website: (expired link)

to my friends and subscribers around this precious globe of ours. This year has certainly seen some profound changes. My old home was shaken by the surprise result of the referendum in June and the recent US election will have reverberations for many around the world. I choose to remain optimistic and play my part in expressing thoughts in lyric, sending love and good will to all that are within reach. This includes you, my N1M friends. I've been asked to post more music.. this I will do in time but for now, I suggest you visit my website (expired link) or youtube and spotify, where my albums 'that's life' and 'sixtyfour' can be heard in full. Meanwhile, thanks to you for subscribing and listening to the 3 songs posted here. Your support will always be an inspiration. Love to you all.

I am deeply moved by the wonderful responses to my posted songs. In the short time since joining N1M my song 'bully the kid' reached number 1 on the German Folk-Rock chart (still there for a second week!) and the two others are in the top 10 SInger-Songwriter category and rising. Thanks to all of you for subscribing, your support and good wishes. Love to the world from Berlin
