Working on a video. Still a lot of work to do...

Well look here! Copies of 'Still To Breathe' now available to buy in the HMV Coventry - Buy yours today!

Sounds like another one of Donald Trump's cognitive tests:

Nobody likes Mondays, but this Monday 11th May will be better than most! Come watch me play the Springboard Festival at the Criterion Theatre in Earlsdon - it will be a lorra lorra fun (I'm on at 9pm) x

Happy wedding anniversary to Bob Dylan and Isis.🎉

I must say a big "thank you!" to a lot of people this week. Bandcamp Friday went really well, people have asked for YouTube and Spotify links, and sent kind messages about the music. I've enjoyed connecting with people, and confirmed that coming off You Know What was a good idea. Love to all!

It's #bandcampfriday today! promise that if you buy the album you aren't funding a lavish lifestyle - I just want to upgrade my mic! 🤣 🎙 I've had had some lovely responses to my DMs so far, so here is the link as promised and thank you for the support: thewayafter.bandcamp.com/album/still-...

From the Criterion Theatre website. There's lots of great acts playing the Springboard Festival 2026 including Wren, Rebecca Mileham, Nyotaa Izeidi, Lewis Holmes, Serena Jasmine, Reign The Girlband and Madrigirl. I'm playing on the 11th May at 9pm and you really should come and check me out 👍

A reminder that The Way After offer a classic sound while feeling like something new. Give our album 'Still To Breathe' a listen and you’ll see what we mean. Go to distrokid.com/hyperfollow/... for links to Spotify, Bandcamp, and more.

OK, here's a question: The images below are indicative only, but if The Way After were to launch an online merch store, would you be interested in any of the following items? Do you or a loved one need a new mug, T-Shirt or tote bag? All proceeds will go towards funding future albums!

With the launch of Artemis II you'll have seen a lot of Flat-Earthers on the defensive in the face of some pretty incontrovertible evidence - but don't believe what you've been spoonfed by NASA! This is all you need to know about the world in which we all live:

I guess April 1st is not a good day to share anything, but hey! I'm playing at the Criterion Theatre on the 11th May as part of the Springboard Festival, and I'm looking forward to it:

Some pics from yesterday to prove it happened:

Don't be sad you missed the gig; Watch the video and pretend you were there 🙂👍 youtu.be/qik12LDig1U?...

Look ma! I'm playing in front of Ringo Starr! 🤩

Catch me at HMV Coventry tomorrow, Saturday 28th March, for an acoustic set to celebrate our debut album 'Still To Breathe'. ​📍 Where: HMV Coventry 🕒 When: 3:00 PM 🎟️ Entry: Free!​ If you’re in town, come say hello, grab a CD, and make your presence felt in the front row! See you there?

Right that's it: I hereby promise that if I get one more email from a "professional choreographer" wanting to use my music to create "dance visuals that enhance audience engagement, and support overall release performance", then I will cut out the middleman by creating said visuals myself...

UPDATE: The onstage time for this Saturday will be 3pm - It's always nice to have some friendly faces in the audience, so hope to see you there!

This Saturday March 28th (time TBC) I’m heading to my local HMV Coventry for a live acoustic set to promote the debut album 'Still To Breathe'. ​I'm practicing hard to make it a good one, so if you’re in town then please come over and say hello. It’s free!

Because if there's one word you couldn't associate with Donald Trump it's "malicious"... 🫤

To commemorate playing HMV Coventry on Sat 28th March, I've decided to make a Funko Pop of myself. You won't be able to buy said Funko Pop, but you'll be able to buy copies of 'Still To Breathe', hear me play a few songs, and buy Funko Pops of people you've actually heard of - so come down!

Oldindiemum has arrived Down Under bringing all the vinyls and CDs I sent to her house over the last year. It’s just like Christmas!🎄

thewayafter.bandcamp.com/album/still-... Bandcamp Friday again! No salesman I, but click the link above; If you like what you hear, then please consider buying it. If not, then let's both pretend like it never happened. Thank you, either way! Ps. Had band team call last night. 2nd album imminent.

While the rest of the band are in the studio, I'm keeping myself out of mischief... If you are in Coventry and/or Stratford over the next couple of months, then why not come along and say "hello"?

I'm not 65 (even a well-preserved 65 like Pete Tong) but as someone who has started wearing hearing aids for clarity (and listening to music) I can attest to the importance of getting your hearing checked out: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

For anyone tracking this we're just 7 plays short of the Magic 1000 and Spotify opening the keys to the kingdom and welcoming us in. Or something. open.spotify.com/album/1TOPQh...

Bus wanker! Got a few live dates coming up, so I'm off to Noise Works in Fargo Village to get my Epi D-12 gig-ready; Having moved to Coventry from London, I must say how nice it is to have a bit of leg room and adequate space for my guitar on the bus 🚌 🙂👏

Just seeing if it works: thewayafter.bandcamp.com/album/still-...

FURTHER UPDATE C'mon! Just 23 plays to go! There's a snippet below, but have a listen to the whole thing while I imagine what loaf of bread I'm going to buy with the riches Spotify are about to bestow on me: open.spotify.com/track/5KCX6E...

UPDATE: 31 plays to go - we can do this! Just think: Each $0.03 Spotify will have to give to us is $0.03 less for them to give to AI weapons research... 🤔 open.spotify.com/track/5KCX6E...

Our song 'You Built A Wall' is just 41 plays from getting us out of the "sub 1000" category... It was described as "a melodic poetic track with orchestral touches that call to mind late 60s Beatles or Kinks"... so if that tickles your fancy, then check it out: open.spotify.com/track/5KCX6E...

To paraphrase Robin Williams: $16.2 million Pokemon cards are God's way of telling you that you have too much money.

Valentine's Day gift from my Valentine 💝

PEOPLE OF COVENTRY (& SURROUNDING AREAS): SATURDAY 28th MARCH - SAVE THE DATE! I'm very excited to be playing an in-store acoustic gig at the HMV in Coventry to promote 'Still To Breathe', copies of which can be bought from within the store. Really hope to see you there! 🙂👍🎶

Here's some flashback pics to a former incarnation of the band playing in East London - we didn’t know then, but it would be over 12 years before me, James, and Dave would play together again... Next time the doctor asks me to lose weight, I'll show him these pics and tell him I complied in advance.

BTW, if you're intrigued by the video clips in the previous post, then check out our YouTube channel - it's full of lo-fi, scrappy, goodness: youtube.com/@thewayafter... Have a good weekend all 🙂🎶

#bandcampfriday today, where all revenue goes to the artists, and is a great way of supporting independent music. Our album 'Still To Breathe' is available as a CD or download, so please consider getting a copy: thewayafter.bandcamp.com/album/still-... Cheers!

Bandcamp Friday tomorrow; It's a great way to get behind independent artists like ourselves, so please consider buying our mini-album 'Still To Breathe' as it will help support us while we finish it's follow-up... (I'll post the link tomorrow)

ICYMI: Here's a few screenshots from our latest video for 'Summer Rain, Ocean Night'. The song is about one of those "sliding doors" moments in life - a trip to New York, and wanting to live there, but feeling I had unfinished business at home. (1/3)

The video for 'Summer Rain, Ocean Night' is ready! I was trying to get it done for January, and so I've just snuck in under the wire. Watch here from midnight! youtu.be/fnHxQTQRoIw?...

People of Bluesky! 'You Can Talk A Mountain' by The Way After will be played on BBC Introducing - West Mids & Warwickshire tomorrow (Thursday 29th Jan) You can listen here at 8pm tomorrow and for 30 days after if you miss it: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... Honestly, this has made my day 😀👍🎶

Do you want to know something terrible? I've started doing the Trump dance. I started doing it ironically, but now it's become force of habit. FML.

Massive Thanks again to @blackmarketplay.bsky.social for featuring 'Low River' on their 'Out Of Here'playlist. I'm proud of how this lyric came out. I'm always trying to reach a certain standard, and this is the closest I've gotten. Why not have a listen? open.spotify.com/playlist/2Fl...

Massive Thanks Part 1 to @blackmarketplaylist for featuring 'You Can Talk A Mountain' on their 'New Shoegaze From The UK' playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/0bC... We definitely tried to capture the spirit of early 90s acts like Ride, or The Stone Roses, so check it out, why not? 😀👍🎸🎶

I've probably got this 2016 thing wrong, but here is a pic of me in '16 with Angelos Epithemiou, and here's a pic of me 10 years later sans Angelos. A lot's happened since then, but I reckon I look better in '26 - but only 'cos my GP has had me off the booze, salt, and sugar for over a year now.

Still working on the video; 2759 frames, and taking it one frame at a time...

Is the coolest a Beatle ever looked? If you told me this was the drummer in a contemporary band (and I don’t mean the All Starr Band) I'd believe you:

I was very flattered to hear 'Ghosts In The Hallway' played alongside Jeff Tweedy and Big Thief as part of the Best Of 2025 on Shire Folk Showcase. Presenter Graham notes the song is more soft rock than folk, but "very enjoyable" nonetheless... Check it out: www.mixcloud.com/kennetradio/...

ICYMI last night, the full acoustic session is up on YouTube. ​Perfect for a slow morning WFH and trying to keep warm ☕️🎸 I enjoyed playing these songs live, and hope to play more in '26 while we prep the next album. ​Watch here: youtu.be/DFQQchPiuoM?... #AcousticSession #IndieFolk #NewMusicFriday

LIVE MUSIC ALERT: With The Way After currently recording, I’ve put together a live acoustic session to show you what I’ve been working on. 🎙️✨ ​Premiere starts at midnight tonight! Set your reminders here: youtu.be/DFQQchPiuoM?... ​ #IndieRock #Acoustic
