If yesterday was a time for taking a breath, today I’m right back on it with the launch of the pre-sale for the vinyl edition of my Fields Of Dawn cancer fundraising album, A New Dawn. You may think it strange that I seemed to have done an about turn since yesterday, and to some

One of the last people I spoke to for The Record was Jules Peters. This chapter was a long time in the making, and when a meeting with Jules before The Alarm’s December 2018 gig in Reading had to be cancelled, I did wonder if my opportunity might have gone.
