    If, like me, you are both surprised and a little dismayed that the plans for a new Baccalaureate Curriculum completely exclude the study of creative subjects – including music, as well as design and technology, drama and art – you should check out the Bacc For The Future website.

    I’m sure you will agree with me that this is an important issue, and that education as a whole will suffer from the lack of creative subjects in schools.

  • I shall be playing piano with the Joe Ringer Band for this nostalgic concert series.

    Find yourself transported back to those cool, easy listening days of the 50s & 60s when you will be treated to the hits of Frank Sinatra, Burt Bacharach, Dusty Springfield, Bobby Darin, Aretha Franklin and many more of your favourite artists.

    Top vocalist Joe Ringer leads his 8-piece band through a selection of truly classic favourites to create a laid back, swinging night to remember.

    So, if you ‘Just Don’t Know What To Do With Yourself’, grab your ‘Wives & Lovers’ and enjoy ‘Music to Watch Girls by’, with matinée and evening shows on 17th November 2012, at The Fisher Theatre, Bungay, and another evening show at Dereham Memorial Hall on 22nd February 2013.

    Get tickets for the two performances at The Fisher Theatre on 17th November 2012 here. Tickets for the performance at Dereham Memorial Hall on 22nd February 2013 will be available soon.

  • Crystal Bats will be supporting UK chart-toppers Sam And The Womp when they come to Norwich Waterfront on 3rd December this year, as part of their UK winter tour.

    Tickets cost £8, and can be bought from the UEA Ticket Bookings website here.

  • “Arabella” – the new single from Crystal Bats – is released today.  (The launch party is tonight at The Birdcage in Norwich, for anyone looking to attend.)

    I appear in the music video for “Arabella”, playing synths and keyboard, and you can watch it here:

    And thanks to Charlotte Rutherford for this snap of me on set at the video shoot:
