After a slow 2013, there was a lot of hope going forward to 2014. Already a handful of shows were lined up and recordings pending. In 2013 I had no records out, 2014 I have had insane 6.
On the live front it's been busy, highlights were playing shows with Lettera 22, the collaborations with Duncan Harrison, and playing two times with Clive Graham.
Next up...
Completion of the split / collaboration with Duncan Harrison and then a few other releases TBC.
No forthcoming shows planned currently.
