Woo! My @pledgemusic campaign for album number 2 has hit 100%! You guys are all awesome! So to celebrate...we jumped straight in the studio! And because I hit 100% before my deadline my campaign page will stay open for preorders ahead of the release. In fact now we’re at 104%! I can’t thank you all enough! Right, back to the microphone... #album #number2 #secondalbum #difficultsecondalbum #recording #studio #rock #roots #pop #blues #country #jazz #acoustic #guitar #acousticguitar #pledge #pledgemusic #sticks #leads #microphone #plectrums #picks #100 #campaign https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl56bq0HZOJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tqqic54zzjaf

I’ve been a wee bit quiet online recently...but that’s only because I’ve been making noise elsewhere! Album is mixed and we’re mastering it next week. Not long now folks! #album #secondalbum #difficultsecondalbum #studio #acousticguitar #acoustic #guitar #folk #rock #roots #pop #blues #country #pledgemusic #singersongwriter #songersingwriter #scotland #england #microphone #mics https://www.instagram.com/p/BojZ3UjFFTm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jhy2qi18acoz

Cheryl Strayed from ‘Tiny Beautiful Things’ - the chapter called ‘How you get unstuck.’

Time for another cup of tea to go with the list making.

In this blog I talk about my ways back into this track and what I did when I listened again to the old versions. It also features a crisis (of course) and a fresh set of backing vocals .... smooth as silk they are and way out in space. Like that dress of midnight blue I wear to the ball room in my head!

The rest of the time I just concentrated really hard on feeling proud for keeping my promise.

I think it might be good. God but I hope so.
