I went to London to record a live session & interview for Tom Robinson’s BBC Radio 6 Music show. I played ‘City By The Sea’ live, talked about B>E>A>K, my favourite Sunderland bands & ‘April’ got its BBC Radio début. Listen to the show here: (At 31 mins.

Chuffed to announce that the lads & I will be playing this year’s Willowman Festival, 4 Days of amazing music in the heart of North Yorkshire.
We’ll be playing on Saturday 23rd June 2012 alongside some of our favourite bands from Sunderland including B>E>A>K, and Hyde & Beast. South Shields native and fellow Sage performer Natasha Haws is also on the bill, as is This Little Bird. It should be an amazing weekend!

300 Early Bird tickets for 2012 have been released at £50 per adult, this offer includes free tent camping. Check out the website for more details - http://www.willowmanfestival.co.uk/ - Hopefully see you there!
Thanks loads & loads to Manifesto Magazine for voting me ‘Breakthrough Artist of 2011’ in their end of year poll, as well as for the nice review, for advertising the single launch on April 5th and for naming my other band B>E>A>K as “Best Live Band”.

I’m sure I owe someone a pint over there!
