I hope that 2025 has started off being kind to you all!

I'm writing to you with exciting news that I'll be back in the UK in April with a good few shows in hand! Again - I am sorry that the tour is not more extensive - transparently, on an independent budget it's just not viable. I hope that will change in the future but at the moment I'm only really able to perform in cities that I know I can make work financially. I appreciate the understanding!

That said - I am VERY EXCITED for these shows.

There will be a little bit more news about what else is going on in the run up to these shows, and in the week before the show, but in the meantime, grab a ticket and I'll look forward to seeing you

Each show (except Neath which is a theatre show) will have a general admission, and a special "ticket + exclusive CD" or in London & Manchester "meet & greet + exclusive CD" option, so there's a cheaper more affordable option, and one option for those collectors in the room

See you in Neath, London, Manchester, Brighton and Glasgow in April, and hopefully more dates in the Summer / Autumn if Prides and festivals come calling.

My aim this year is to spread joy. The initial 'Enjoy Youth' campaign was paused somewhat when Sunny, my cat, became sick, and then died a month later where shows had to be cancelled before announcement, and everything had to be re-arranged. I'm still working everything out, but this is all part of the journey of "youth" or "life", I suppose.

I hope you have fun re-visiting the 'Enjoy Youth' album this year, and the song that I'm releasing on January 24th 'Sunny' in honour of my little guy, who you also saw in the album artwork.

Take care of yourselves, and hopefully see you very soon!
