The Inspireography Tour with the mighty Jess Silk came to its climax in London after eight fantastic dates in the very best of company.

There’s something magical about shows with Jess. Not only is she next level as a singer and songwriter, but she performs at LEVELS, and that in turn makes me dig deeper. I’m guessing you already know that, because the fraction of those gigs which hadn’t sold out in advance were packed by walk-up, and I LOVED every single night.

It’s not just the music though, it’s the camaraderie of touring and sharing space and time with ace people like Caroline, Joe Zux, Steve White and the Protest Family, and Connor Wilson; it’s the teasing and the in-gags and the hugs and the memories.

And you can’t beat that.

Sad to finish, but as plans are already underway for next November, I won’t be sulking for long.

Massive THANK YOU to all the venues and promoters, sound and lighting folks, and bar staff who made it possible; and a special THANK YOU to everyone who rocked-up to support us, especially those who helped MASSIVELY by bagging tickets in advance. We so much appreciate the chance to play our big gigs in small rooms and hopefully pass on a little strength, courage, and hope for the road ahead.

Right. I have a new album out in February and a stack of work to do. The year end blog will appear around Christmas time, but until then, love and solidarity to you all x
