I'll be playing a short voice-and-piano set with Louis Philippe at Heaven, London, on September 1st, supporting Stars.

Cathal Coughlan's new album, Rancho Tetrahedron, has been released on Kitchenware Records. Cathal and The Grand Necropolitan Quintet (myself on bass) will be playing gigs at Bush Hall, London on September 7th, and Whelans, Dublin on September 11th.

Louise Le May's debut EP, Tell Me Something That Is New, produced by Louise Philippe and Ken Brake, is now available on CD or to download. I contributed piano, bass, and a bit of arranging. Wonderful singer, wonderful songs.

Currently involved in a couple of recording projects: one is for Amor de Dias, a duet of Alasdair Maclean of The Clientele and Lupe of Pipas, the other is a collaboration between Louis Philippe and Testbild! (For those unfamiliar with these wonderful Swedish prog-poppers, the exclamation mark is part of the band name, not over-excitability on my part.) Expect some gorgeous sounds from both albums.

At the beginning of the year, I laid down some bass tracks for Cathal Coughlan's next album. No album title or release date yet, but, as always, worth waiting for.

A very belated announcement, but.... Louis Philippe released two albums earlier this year.

An Unkown Spring is Louis's twelfth solo outing, and definitely the high point of his recording career so far. There's a possibility of performing a specially arranged version in New York with avant-chamber ensemble The Four Bags.

Louis Philippe Live is a double CD, the first of a duo performance we gave in Bremen, Germany, the second of a trio concert (with the addition of David Longdon) in Bush Hall, London.

Bukky Leo's Sunday night jam session in Battersea ended its run after several enjoyable years.
