I did try blagging an invite to Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s wedding at MSG yesterday, but security said “if your name’s not on the list, you’re not coming in”. I pointed out that my name’s on the building, but they were having none of it… 🤷♂️😏 x

As a massive fan, one of the greatest privileges of my life was to play a UK tour with Ronnie Spector of The Ronettes. This photo was taken during a soundcheck, of Ronnie on stage with me watching from the wings. ❤️ xxx

Been in a bit of a songwriting trough lately. Then my lovely friend Pauline MacLeod posted this pic. And it’s really cheered me up. I’ve still not written anything new, but you can find my old music on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon, iTunes, Deezer, etc. ❤️ x
