So…. It’s been a busy week so far! I have recorded an acoustic version of “Heart Attack” which will be available with the single when it comes out on 6th Sept. I went into Universal’s studio in Kensington and Mark Bishop was there to make sure it all sounded great… Thanks Mark!

I filmed at Bliss TV for my top 20 time tunnel…. picked some really cool songs so keep an
eye out for it on their channel (Sky channel 362).

I then went straight to the BBC to appear on News/E24. It was Live and I felt quite nervous at first but it went ok. They played the video and asked a few questions etc…. In the studio were 5 big cameras and NO cameramen! How is that possible? They were being
controlled from another room. They looked like Daleks – brilliant!

As you can see, the new website is live now. Really love it and we will be updating regularly with news, videos and blogs etc. Let us know what YOU think and what you’d like to be seeing on the site.

Had some really lovely comments about the video – thank you very much! Want to say thanks to all the team that made that happen. Really enjoyed working with Andy Hylton (director) Fantastic idea! I miss the tightrope…..may need to book some more lessons in just for fun. I’m a little bit addicted now. I also want to say a quick thank you to Circus Space in Shoreditch and a special thank you to Lorraine for teaching me.

I’m currently working on some acoustic covers that I will film in the next week or two an post on the website.

Song of the week: We speak no Americano – Yolanda Be cool and DCUP. Really love the dance feel mixed with the old sound/samples.

Gig of the week: The Bonfires at the Bull and Gate, Kentish Town. Jon Green and his band were amazing and you should check them out here:
