It’s amazing in actuality. I tried as best I could to capture the true imposing nature of the sculpture but it was quite difficult to really do it justice.

It was a great show, we played ‘Ultravox’s’ ‘Vienna’.  Needless to say it was most appreciated by the locals.

Tonights show will be great.  I’m looking forward to playing and spending a lot more time here.  Bye for now,

You’ve turned out in your thousands with incredible support and I want you all to know that it is much appreciated. We are in Prague at the moment, we arrived early this morning from Hamburg. So far the shows have been a dream and with the new band of Marc, Marcus and Steve, things couldn’t be better. I have to say that this is quite honestly the most talented and nicest, sane group of people I have ever had the good fortune to work with in fact, it doesn’t seem like work at all. Such is the advantage of playing with truly great people.

I hope you all like the look of the new site, all of my friends at ‘Magnet’ have worked really hard to and I think they’ve done a fantastic Job. I’m sure they would like to hear from you if you feel the same, if you don’t then keep it to yourselves (just kidding).

Last week, I sang for the presumptive Democratic nominee (God, that sounded so uncharacteristically political of me) and I have to say it was the highlight of my professional career. I sang the Sam Cooke song, ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’. As I walked of stage, he embraced me and we talked for a few minutes, just the future president, his number one secret service guy Bob and I. I will never forget that for the rest of my life. It will be a story I will hopefully tell to my children’s children ….. the day I sang for and was embraced by the man for all seasons. I’ve made a video to the song which was recorded and performed by the great David Foster (the most talented person I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, a truly humbling experience). the video is being edited at the moment and was shot by a talented young photographer/film maker called Nabil Ekerland. As soon as there’s something to show, you will be the first to see :-)

Also, I have been heavily back into my photography and will be posting a ‘though my eyes’ perspective of my travels and the tour. There’s already some images from Lithuania (Vilnius) to kick things off. I hope you like them.

Peace,
