So we’re back in stride and gun ho into the summer. Glastonbury was fantastic, the best I’ve been to yet, the sun was shining, the leftfield was back with a vengence and Steve Wonder… Don’t get me started on how good that set was! Preceded by a fantastic night at the joiners in Southampton, it was a top weekend all round! With that said the summer rolls on, we’re off to Garforth for the arts festival this weekend and then to the mighty Rhythms of the World in Hitchin the weekend after.

It’s been really nice to have a new single Collapsing Cities ready and a few people have been really kind to play it on t’radio, below is a little link to listen to the track from Huw Stephen’s sitting in for Zane the other night. I hope you like the tune.

It’s out on 9th August and is currently available to pre order on 7′ (500 copies) from our good friends at Banquet Records in Kingston.

With the album (titled “Get Cape. Wear Cape Fly”) heading towards release on September 13th, I’m very excited to announce that we will be out on the road for, well, quite a while.

We’ve tried to cover as many places as possible, but apologies if we have missed out your town this time around, we will hopefully be back sooner rather than later and will make sure we get to you next time

I’ll be in touch soon with some more details on the album, with track listings and the like, in the meanwhile, there are a few tracks to preview on myspace.com/getcapewearcapefly and Morning Light is available as a free download www.getcapewearcapefly.com/download

Thanks to everyone who has been so kind as to support me and the band throughout the course of the last 6 years, I’m very excited to have a new album out and to get back to enjoying life on the road.

Until next time…

Take Care
