Finally went back in the studio with the Actual Band, to lay down backing tracks for three new songs. Finally! These won’t be mixed for a while, but some totally solo lowkey acoustic(ish) demos of other songs may appear first….

I’ve played a couple of random solo shows lately and really enjoyed them. And so did the Viewers! Just putting it out there that I’m very much up for more of that sort of thing, inc different arrangements, covers and songs I’ve not done with band eg charleystone.bandcamp.com/album/dont-w...

It's completely disingenuous to bring PIP up in apposition to employment statistics. PIP is not a means-tested or employment-related benefit. It's not enough to live on. Nobody is claiming PIP instead of working. They might be enabled to work part time on PIP though!

I’m playing this one and all!
This time next week you’ll be thinking “Blimey! Last night was brilliant!”
Of course, that’s only if you come to this brilliant gig on Friday.
If you don’t, then I’ve no idea what you’ll be thinking. Probably something about how you should have gone to the brilliant gig.
