Spring Is Here

First things first: my first radio interview is tomorrow, 11:10am - but more on that in a second.

Things have been ticking gently over, promo copies of 'The Not-So-Great Gatsby' have been sent out, and songwriting for the next album has commenced - as previously mentioned (I think), I'll have the whole summer to work on the new material so I'm definitely hoping for a more polished sound.
I'm thinking a slightly more guitar-based sound; it's bold to say 'Reuben-esque' as I'm not even going to try and emulate those guys, but they're a big influence. Then again, I cannot get enough of everything Bob Dylan recorded in the 60s at the moment, so God knows, it's probably going to meet somewhere in the middle (wherever that is...).

Anyway, back to the radio interview! Yep, believe it or not, Leith 98.8FM, a Scottish community radio station, have asked to do a short interview with me, I assume based around my single. For those of you not in the region, you can stream it live here. It starts at 11:10am so if you're up and fancy a listen, there ya go.

Not much else to report at the moment; all quiet on the Western front, but looking forward to doing a bit more gigging as the seasons roll into summer - and before long I'll be in the studio again...


All best,

Owen
