By giving myself 5 months to get the new Fields of Dawn album organised for release, I took a bit of the pressure off myself. The first format to arrive in October were the CDs which looked absolutely stunning.
Perhaps my favourite gig on 2023 was the very special 40th anniversary concert celebrating the release in 1983 of 68 Guns by The Alarm.
August saw The Majority return with a second release of 2023. Once again it was Ad’s amazing creative vision that turned my words and music into the most amazing track.
April being bowel cancer awareness month saw the release from Fields of Dawn of The Final Post EP. This very special release supported Bowel Cancer UK, The Bowel Movement and Bowel Cancer Australia.
March began with some live music with a hometown gig for The Vapors which also celebrated lead singer Dave Fenton’s 70th birthday.
February was a quiet month. No Valentine’s cards as always 🤣 and I celebrated my 57th birthday. The years seem to be racing by! I spent February writing and recording The Final Post EP. The idea had kind of been sown in my mind when I went to Llandudno at the end of January.
The year could not have started on a more sad note. The death of Nicole Cooper came as a terrible shock. 2022 had been a difficult year for her with her health and ongoing treatment for bowel cancer, but I hadn’t seen the devastating news coming at all.
