Possibly the moment of greatest magnitude for me, having Jay Farrar (my all-time favourite singer-songwriter) cover one of my songs! Still can't quite believe it! The song is Outlaw (May The Sun Always Shine) from Normal For Bridgwater, is the first track on the new LP by Jay Farrar (Son Volt / Uncle Tupelo) and singer-songwriter Shannon McNally. Pre-order it here!

New Video out TODAY! for No Place Like Home - one of my favourite songs off the new album! The footage is from a couple of US tours I did opening for Son Volt in 2023.

Just over a week to go until new album comes out! Many thanks to Sylvie Simmons for a 4 star review in Mojo magazine! And finally, we have

Watch the new video for Out Of The Pines and try not to laugh at my dancing! It's the first single from the new album and it's out this Friday!

I’m happy to report that the new album is finished, printed, pressed and here at Bruntnell HQ with the due date being October 4th. Mick Clews, Peter Noone and myself had a fab time recording the drums, bass guitar, guitars and vocals at Comrade Jim Lowe’s (Stereophonics, Ghost In A Spitfire) garden studio in deepest Berkshire, before I brought it back to Kingston for some overdubs. It’s more of a straight forward band sounding record that should translate quite well in a live situation, (well that’s what I’m thinking anyway?), made all the more Fantastico with some additional guest appearances
