As we approach 2007, I am beginning to think about what my New Years Resolutions should be. Now I know this is not original thinking but it is real life! So what are they to be? Well here are a few....In 2007, I want to be more a man of God, a better father, a good boss and leader and a great friend. If I am honest these are the same as in 2005 and 2006 and I suspect the may feature on 2008. There are a couple of additions for 2007. I want to lose 2 stone in weight (28lbs to any US readers!) and ensure my faith fits seemlessly into my new relationship with the the beautiful Lesley.

Will I succeed? Well only of I work at it. With God's help I intend to!

Happy New year!

On sunday, Tim and I were guests at the Michael W. Smith show. It was his Christmas show and he played with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. By the end we were both harmonising all our favourite carols. We especially enjoyed the rendition of "O Little Town" by our mate Chris Eaton.

Today has seen a bunch of meetings with managers, booking agents and label people. At this stage we are feeling very positive! We caught up with out old label president, Tony Patoto

This evening we had dinner with David and Helen Smallbone and then went on for a cup of tea at the home of Rebecca St James

So am I tired?...absolutely! Do I feel we are here for a Kingdom purpose?....definitely. Would I swap my job with yours?......Not a chance!

I am currently in Nashville with my mate Tim Cheshire from the band Superhero. Essentially we are here to meet with lots of people to explore the possibility of the band moving to the USA.. We arrived via Chicago and drove the 30 minutes to stay with our hosts Charlie Peacock and his wife Andi

After a great supper we received a call from my old mate Eli. He was only a few minutes away so we decided to meet him at the local Starbucks. We could have stayed chatting all night! The reason we didn't were 2 fold....1) The starbucks closed so we ended up sitting for 30 minutes talking outside. It was -3! and Tim and I had been up for 24hrs straight!

Tim was collected about midnight and he drove the 3 hours to Memphis. We are exploring the possibility of the band been based there.

So its wall to wall meetings for the next few days. Sunday is an easy day. I meet Jan Hevroy from Norway (the picture at the top of this site is on my way with Rebecca St James to perform a concert in his village). Then Tim and I are on the guest list for the Michael W. Smith Christmas show.

Will keep you posted!
