Here’s an (even more) stripped back Running On Emptiness, captured live at The Fickle Pickle for Tea and Oranges. Home Truths is available now via @yyzrecords.bsky.social: yyzrecords.bandcamp.com/album/home-t...

I don’t consider myself a natural live performer, and the nerves were almost unbearable this time out, but it’s always massively rewarding and I’ve been on a post-gig high ever since. Photo by William Chouffot at The Fickle Pickle, 21/03/26. Home Truths is out now: open.spotify.com/album/4J7gIo...

If you’re in the Westcliff-on-Sea area next Saturday or not, here’s a good reason to be:

Last September I was fortunate enough to play at iconic San Francisco grassroots venue The Knockout. I’m forever grateful to Karina Gill for arranging it, Michael Ramos for lending a guitar, and to @pilrigpaterson.bsky.social for capturing the moment…

Playing some Japanese city pop on www.untidyradio.com right now. I don’t know if this is a genre I’d have investigated if it wasn’t for the cultural tourism angle: but I like the chilly AOR of these songs.

Belated Happy New Year to the Bluesky indie family 🩵 I have some news in the not too distant, stay tuned…

There’ll be more YYZ releases coming in the new year. Keep an eye out.

A massive Merci! to Philippe of the Lollypop show on Radio Curieuse in Rennes for playing 'Throwaway Friend'... Impeccable, m'sieur. Again, lots of great new music, highly recommended show. canalb.fr/lollypop/8677 Some up and coming outfit called @shopfiresmusic.bsky.social in there, too.

Delighted to be among such good company in @willsband.bsky.social 2025 top 10 list. Thanks for the very kind words, Will:

Look what just arrived @assistant.bandcamp.com @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social 😀👍🎶🎶🎶

The @assistant.bandcamp.com and @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social split single is out NOW on very limited 7" vinyl. I write about these two brand-new songs in the latest post on the Pure Pop 4 Now People blog: purepop4nowpeople.blogspot.com/2025/10/spli...

This popped through my letterbox, raising my spirits! @assistant.bandcamp.com @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social @yyzrecords.bsky.social

Even if we say so ourselves, don’t these look gorgeous! The limited split 7” from @assistant.bandcamp.com & @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social shipping imminently.

The biggest thank you to @tristesunset.bsky.social for writing such beautiful words about my new single Living Your Last Chance. If you’d like to check out Francesco’s article you can do so below…

With thanks to Nathaniel, our 9yo, who filmed the falling leaves and car shots, the autumnal Sky Lantern video. Quite different from my more upbeat stuff and probably influenced by Elliott Smith, REM, YLT and the last The Declining Winter record: youtu.be/7cs-LC7R134?... #autumn #leaves #musicsky

In our experience, Jason @agarr45.bsky.social is never wrong when it comes to tunes. We’re delighted a record will be heading to his esteemed collection 💜

Only 6 copies left of this fab new 7" single from @assistant.bandcamp.com & @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social Dont miss out, it's great 🎶🎶🎶 assistant.bandcamp.com/album/assist...

If anyone knows what they’re talking about, it’s Fran. No better way to start the weekend 💙🙏💙
