13/4/09 - Interesting gig at the Wishing Well on Saturday. I took a guitar I'd just customised but forgot to solder the bloody electrics back together so it didn't actually work!!! Thank God Trev lives ten minutes away and rushed home to get his soldering iron, so after a bit of huffing and puffing all was well. Thanx to everyone who clapped - next stop is the Bay Horse in Horwich on 25th April - see you there!

11/2/09 - Lots more gigs on the gigs page, Poppy rocks like a muther f***er, the TLBB album nears completion and The Cooler Kings are getting ready to do some "live" studio recordings. I'm in the middle of writing and recording new stuff and life is good.

16/12/08 - The Cooler Kings did our last gig of 2008 at the George in Darwen and what a great gig it was. Thankyou to all the people who supported the band in 2008 and we look forward to seeing you all next year. As for me, still working hard writing and recording songs for a new TLBB cd with Rob and always churning out blues songs for another blues cd. My new Strat ("Poppy" - so named because she wore a remembrance day poppy on her headstock for weeks), is shaping up nicely and has been gigged several times already. Happy Christmas and a peaceful new year to all... oh yeah, did I say thankyou....thankyou :o)
