Here are a few little shows I’m playing while over this side of the world. You may not see your city on here, but in a day or two you’ll be able to do something about that 😉

My third album My Babylon is out today! Making an album is such a long and toiling task, I write and record everything myself and once it’s done there’s the release to plan which is another huge task again. The team at Chugg have been an incredible bunch of little organisational ninjas. As has NicNak. As has my wife Sharanna, all while juggling a little new born baby Billy. We’re finally here though and it’s my pleasure to share with you what I’ve been working on 🎉🎉 Now on to the fun part, playing it all live for you!!
My Babylon is out, go have a listen 😊

I’ve been asked about the meaning of My Babylon quite a lot. For those interested, read on.
When I played My Babylon to my mum she said, “but Babylon was a place of debauchery and corruption, why my Babylon?” And then my sister thought of it as a peaceful place. There are a lot of ways Babylon metaphors have been used, and mine is different again. This is a little geeky but bear with me…
In the ancient Near East when the Babylonians conquered a new place, they would split the people groups apart and scatter them through the empire, displacing them. A few generations in, separated from their own people and culture, they would struggle to hold onto their identity. And so when the empire fell, not everyone made it back to their old lands and people, they had lost that connection. So my idea behind My Babylon is, what are the things that have disrupted you, or separated you or confused your identity.
