Last night I tore into Liverpool for Springsteen.
I’ve seen him a good few times now but
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him more angry. More powerful and full of fire.
Any Bruce is great.. but that one? That one is earth shaking.

I’m not just changing the rules.
I’m changing the game.
Something new is coming.
Old-school and new at once.
About echoes, truth, and the things we don’t say.
About you. About us.

Thanks for being on the line.

Been a bit quiet. Took a few days in Valencia to reset, work, refocus, and let a few ideas breathe.
Now back, recharged, and ready for the December shows. Small rooms, big feelings.
🎟️ Tickets → www.theagilmore.net/live And… the air’s been full of echoes lately. x

This morning I found a plectrum in the toaster.
No idea how it got there. I live with two toaster avoidant boys.
I haven’t used that colour plectrum since 2019.

So either the house is haunted… or post tour brain is real.

Have you got a “how did that get there?” moment. I can’t be the only one.

It’s Bandcamp Friday…
100% of the revenue goes to the artist, so if you’ve been eyeing the last of the tour merch, this is your moment.
Tees, totes, mugs, posters — almost gone.

Every bit helps fuel what’s coming next…

Post-tour pause = garden time with my feline sidekick.

We took a break from packing merch… and yes, something new is quietly taking shape behind the scenes. Can’t say more. Yet.

Watch this space.

This turned up in the post.
Years late, still made me smile.
Charts don’t mean everything — but a UK Americana #1 isn’t nothing either. ❤️

Rehearsing with an awesome musician for the Nantwich show this Thursday.

Feels like this song’s come full circle… amazing to play it with him, all these years after it was written.

This tour has been a joy. Thank you to all who came, sang, supported, kept live music alive. You made it magic.

Big love to Philippe Nash for opening the shows so beautifully & TM extraordinaire Paul for keeping me (sort of) sane.

Final night of the tour!

Southampton last night was unreal—first time playing there in years, and you made it one to remember.

Shoreham, you’re up. One last show, let’s make it count.

See you tonight!
