The 42-year old master tapes have been located, baked, and digitised. Singles, b-sides, versions, and a couple lost songs I have no memory of ever singing. Mastering at Abbey Road for Autumn double-vinyl & cd release. x

OK, so she may not be as popular with my generation as Ozzy was, but I'm very sad to hear that Cleo has left us today. Always adored this. x youtu.be/ktqV2bEwYIA?fe… via @YouTube

Friends reunited. Ricky Maymi and I at Dublin's Olympia Theatre earlier today. Last time I walked this stage was 27 (count em') years ago, when I was supporting Echo and the Bunnymen on their Evergreen comeback tour. Really looking forward to the BJM show tonight.
