SO excited to announce I will be doing a session for the amazing 1TakeTV this June!

So so excited.

So the question is, what song should I do?

Whilst you’re thinking, here’s a recent session from 1TakeTV of H2O, featuring my ridiculously talented friend and guitarist Bruno Charles.

I have loads more exciting news I’ll be announcing in the next few days so keep checking back people! Things are going goooooood :)

I have some lovely and exciting news.

My song “Walk Alone” has made it onto a CD in the US called “Survivor CD”, all in aid of cancer. The CDs are being distributed as part of “Get Your Rear in Gear” which is a national 5K race event in the US that promotes awareness and raises funds to fight colon cancer.

I am so honored to be included on this CD alongside artists such as Florence and The Machine, Kelly Clarkson, Rolling Stones, Whitney Houston and loads more. In fact, I’m actually the only unsigned artist on there so it’s even more of an honor! The CD is aimed towards promoting hope and motivation to survivors, sufferers and their families.

If you want to donate to this amazing event you can here http://www.getyourrearingear.com/donate/

And for any of you American’s wanting to be part of the race, there’s over 40 events being held, you can find them all here http://www.getyourrearingear.com/events/

Hope everyone’s having a good Sunday :)

Sorry it’s taken a while, and sorry I’ve been so quiet for the past few weeks. I’ve been chilling. It’s all good.

USA pics to follows!

Finally, this is here. I’ve been so excited to announce this properly and I can’t believe it’s only 3 days away!

Thank you to my good pal Daniel Huddlestone for making this beautiful poster, he’s a kick ass Graphic Design student and will probably be charging an arm and a leg soon. So milk him whilst he’s…hot? full of milk? I don’t know how to end that sentence…Anyway, point is, I’m playing a bunch of shows in Italy next week and you can see some more of Daniel’s work here http://danielhuddlestone.tumblr.com/

There is now FINALLY a trailer for the film To.Get.Her, the movie my song has been used in. The song also features in the trailer 1 minute in. The movie itself is awesome, beautifully shot, amazing stroyline and a twist that is SO good. It has won a load of awards already, including one at this years Sundance Film Festival and I can totally see why. I was genuinely moved and I think you will be too. The song they used was “Back From The Edge Onto The Bed”.

You can learn more about the film here

Here’s the trailer, film should be available on Netflix, Hulu, InDemand and iTunes very soon.

To the following:

My management for believing in me enough to bring me out to LA.

My producers for finding in me a sound and identity I can be proud of and excited about. And for being so involved in the trip despite being thousands of miles away. <3 you boys.

My best friends for staying up to skype me despite the crazy time difference.

My family for being the best support and friends I could ever wish for. Your various good luck cards cropping up at every place I stayed at were the bomb.

My new fans for being so enthusiastic and packing out my show at Genghis Cohen. It made me so happy and made the promoter happy too!

My experience of the US health system. You made me realise how I should NEVER EVER EVER complain about the NHS. ever.

My now surrogate sister Liz. I’ll be seeing you soon I’m sure. And I WILL find your USB memory stick.

My Banana Bungalow pals for being crazy, lovely and obsessed with Drake. See you guys in Cologne.

My various chauffeurs for the endless trips across LA and for making me on time for every single meeting! Not very common in my world.

My guitarist for being a trooper despite catching airplane flu. You are a darling.

And finally, my girls in Flat 5 for making me the BEST lasagna a girl could ever wish to come home to.

Just finished a house gig over at Veneto West Studios, Santa Monica. It was so much fun, so small and intimate and full of lovely people. My set went like this:

Walk Alone

Unbelievable

Alcohol

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

Give Me The Light

Close As We’ll ever Be

A big thanks to Liz Redwing and Ronan Murphy for putting it all together, it really was so nice to play in such a cool, unique setting and the whole thing got filmed so I’ll put it up as soon as it’s edited!

ALSO

You know the small independent film over in the US one of my songs got used in about a year ago? It was called To.Get.Her and was written/directed by Erica Dunton and the song of mine they used was called “Back From The Edge Onto The Bed”.  It went on to win in it’s category in 2011′s Sundance Film Festival and until now, I had not seen the film, or a trailer or even the scene my song had been used in. But thanks to the chance meeting of a Film Lecturer out here who had seen the film at Sundance and had a copy, I now have in my hands the DVD of To.Get.Her. right in front of me, ready to watch. I can’t believe it!

I believe the team who worked on the film are in the process of making a trailer so I hope that means it’s being released? Can’t wait to show you guys.

IN OTHER NEWS

My guitarist Bruno is joining me tomorrow evening and I’m moving from Santa Monica to an undisclosed location. I don’t know if that’s because Giovanni wants it to be a surprise or because they still haven’t found anywhere. I may be blogging to you from a street corner tomorrow for all I know. WE’LL SEE EY.

AND FINALLY

I am writing with two guys called Track & Field tomorrow. Check them out here. http://www.trackandfieldproductions.com/

AND FINALLY FINALLY

I love y’all. Goodnight.

Where I’m playing on 29th March and what I might call my first born.

Details of the gig:

9:30pm

Free as a bee

740 N. Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles, California, 90046

This show will be the culmination of my trip here to Los Angeles so I hope all the lovely people I’ve met whilst i’ve been here can make it. Would mean the world:) I’ll hopefully be playing some of the new material I’ve written since out here and I’m sure I’ll have a bizarre story or two to make up my on stage banter.

Bed time now here in Santa Monica, I can hear people fighting outside my window so I’m gonna let them lull me to sleep. The joys of LA.
