It was a cold cold Sunday evening and the cycle there was epic but what a warm welcome we got on arrival at Whipps Cross Hospital Radio station.
Ian and Terry have a lovely little empire of buttons and dials and toys and microphones and other wonderful things. Candy and I sang three songs live on air and I did an interview which you can now hear online here – www.wxhr.org.uk/listenagain.php#rgib.
I am looking forward to this gig next Tuesday very muchly indeedio… Think folk music, hay bales and vegetables in Chelsea, darling…
Facebook says just shy of 150 people are coming at the moment, golly goshucks, and of course, the internet never lies. http://www.facebook.com/events/395592357160717/

I have just spent a lovely day with Dean Firth recording a new tune called ‘Make Believe (Roses From Africa)’.
Dean did the final mix of my album back in January. He is an amazing musician, engineer and producer who I am very happy to be working with again.
Dean played classical guitar on the track as well as pointing microphones and looking after EQ, mixing and other dark sound engineering arts which baffle me…
