If you can't beat 'em, join 'em

Oh dear. I now have a blog. Yes, after months – years, in fact – spent in protest against this very individualist, web-obsessed modern habit, and after railing against the sheer narcissism of gratuitously sharing your inner thoughts with countless anonymous others, I have finally succumbed and decided to add my own mutterings to the fold. I shall be chronicling my transformation from jazz singer to singer-songwriter extraordinaire, so for those of you with surfing time to spare, you are most welcome to join me on my quest.

It may contain some interesting insights into the music biz (or what I can see of it, anyway!), but I shall try not to name too many names. There may be a few angry moments as I flail about trying to make sense of this hyper-real state known as a “career in music”. I won't pretend to remain impartial or claim to write particularly regularly. However it will contain the latest on my new songs, what inspired me to write them, views on gigs and other paraphernalia. Should you feel inspired to add your comments to the blog, it would be heartily appreciated, as I do like to maintain appearances of popularity where possible.

That's it for now. And next time, I will try to come up with a better sign-off.
