It is, sadly, too late to post this with the title “Happy New Year” – but here goes…
I’ve seen plenty of people asking how 2013 can possibly live up to the wonders that 2012 had to offer. On a National scale, that may well be the case; 2012 was a Jubilee year, and was the year of a triumphant London Olympics – not to mention the fact that Norwich City Football Club survived to stay up in the Premier League.
On a personal level, however, my first gig of 2013 last weekend, with Crystal Bats, was a belter, while tomorrow sees a return to teaching at Sistema In Norwich, to which I’m very much looking forward.
There are plenty of exciting things planned for 2013 – including more shows with Crystal Bats, a debut album with Witchers (our first studio release since the Throw Your Books Into The Fire EP in July 2010), potentially the biggest ever Keyboard Camp Residential Course, and even a film appearance! So yes, 2013 is shaping up to be pretty good!
As always, you can keep up-to-date with everything that’s happening here on the site, and by following me on Twitter.

“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:

I am delighted to be playing keyboards and synth with local pop duo Crystal Bats. I’ve had a great time in rehearsals with them so far, and very much enjoyed the material – now I’m looking forward to playing live as well.
My first Crystal Bats gig will be at The Waterfront, Norwich, on 22nd July – hope to see you there!
