Xmas message

Hi everyone,

Christmas is always a strange time with jolliness and stress performing an unholy dance, but I hope you will manage to find a little peace and even some comfort and joy this holiday season. I know that’s not so easy this year for many people.


I’ve been quietly working away on new music in my little room most of the year, and with my family close at hand I’ve really got nothing to complain about, even with the pent-up frustrations of being stuck at home and not being able to take to the stage.

I find myself getting annoyed with TV presenters and Covid modellers. My dad used to keep a running list of TV presenters in 3 categories: 1. Really annoying 2. Not so bad 3. Quite good. I’m not at that stage yet, but I can feel it coming. Next year I should avoid TV altogether and curtail my phone time. This may help avoid the existential unease which always seems to be lurking just beneath the surface.

I am so looking forward to being amongst you all again next year, singing together, carousing and cavorting with my band in your town.

In the meantime, go well, and here’s a little song I made to say thank you.

Peace and love

Neil
