January 2010

Had a lovely time in Athens over Xmas with Dimitri Vassilakis and his great band. I was lucky enough to swap the London snow for beautifully warm sunny days. Can't wait to go back!

And before that, my band and I performed to a sell-out audience at the Pizza Express Jazz Club for the 2009 London Jazz Festival. Another fabulous evening at one of my favourite jazz clubs. I also saw some amazing gigs throughout the event. Already looking forward to this year's festival...

2009 wasn't a great year for many people I know so I'm hoping this one is going to be a lot better.

Happy New Year! Wishing you lots of fabulousness in 2010!

So, after all the build up and preparation, the last gig of the tour is over! I had such a great time. Fabulous venues, lovely audiences and lots of fun. Check out photos from the London date taken by Helena Dornellas here and Richard Kaby here.

And next.... it's that time again for the London Jazz Festival! I'm performing at 3 venues this year. A short free taster duo set at Rays Jazz @ Foyles on Thursday 19 November is followed by a late night show at 10pm with my full band at one of my favourite places to perform - the Pizza Express Jazz Club in Dean Street - on Saturday 21 November.

I'll also be appearing as a special guest of Dimitrios Vassilakis and The Greek Gang on Sunday 15 Nov at The Spice of Life.

Hope to see you at one of the dates.

Thanks so much to all those who came down to the launch of my new album, Licorice Kiss, at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho and made it such a special night. I had a fabulous time! Apologies to those of you who were unable to get a copy of the CD after it quickly sold out but you can still get a copy here. I'll even sign it with a personal message if you send me a note letting me know who it's for. :-)

Happy New Year!

I went back to Athens last month, to perform with the wonderful sax player Dimitri Vassilakis and his band. It was a little worrying with all the riots going on at the time but I've been reliably informed that this was in no way related to my presence in the city!

In December I also attended an event hosted by the Musicians Union at the House of Commons to highlight the deplorable use of music to torture prisoners during interrogations by the United States. Like many, I was completely unaware that this kind of thing even existed. I really hope they put a stop to this barbaric practice soon.

And I've joined Twitter! So if you'd like to "follow" me and find out what I'm up to daily, now's your chance!
