Firstly, I hope you’re all staying safe and keeping healthy. What a strange and scary time we’re currently experiencing. Personally, it’s been a very exciting few months – my wife Rachael and I are expecting our first child in October, and coupled with my Type 1 Diabetes, we’re both on 100% lockdown. We both feel […]
The Quarantine Sessions – “Splendid Isolation”
It started with this… …and ended with 16 people from all around the world making a beautiful racket! As a musician, being told you cannot entertain people is a nightmare. It’s what we’re designed to do. It’s in our DNA. With talk of an impending lockdown becoming more and more likely, an idea hit me […]

This month I will mostly……
Apologies for being a bit quiet over here recently, but I’ve been working behind the scenes on mixing the full debut LaVendore Rogue album. We’ve assigned the expertise of Chris West, an experienced engineer/producer who has worked with the likes of Nick Cave, Richard Ashcroft and Status Quo to name but a few. As always, […]
It’s all go
As I write this latest blog entry, I’m surrounded by microphones, lyrics, chord charts and cups of tea. This is all down to the fact I’m embarking on my busiest period as a musician yet. Starting this weekend, I’ll be playing nine gigs in ten days with 4 different bands. To say I’m looking forward […]
LaVendore Rogue, Maryport Blues Festival, Saturday 26th July 2014
So, Maryport…it’s been a while. Saturday 26th July saw us head up to Maryport in Cumbria for the first time since we played there with Hokie Joint 3 years ago. A lot has changed for both the festival and ourselves since the day we warmed the crowd up for Canned Heat and Robert Cray, then were […]
