Following what proved to be a year long application process, I finally received my US Visa today. Time to tie up some loose ends and get moving. I hope to be making my move to New York City in early July 2009.
Once there, I won’t be allowed to work for some time, as a condition [...]

Just wanted to stop by, since I missed Christmas on here, to wish you a very, albeit belated, Happy New Year! Here’s hoping that 2009 is a good year for all of us!

Haven’t got time to go into this right now, but suffice to say: great band, great hang, great times.

Following an enormous gap between posts during a summer which has seen me going all over the place, I’m now back on the Rat Pack – Live At The Sands US Tour. We’re opening this season’s tour in Atlanta tomorrow night and I’m very much enjoying being here in the warm weather. Certainly a nice [...]

No really! Yesterday, I had a sandwich stolen from my hand mid-bite! I was enjoying my lunch as I walked towards the theatre in Aberdeen when I was slapped in the side of the head by what felt like a football going at full pelt. It proved to be said vicious sea-bird!
