Ho, ho, ho...!

Well, it's Christmas Eve, I'm nearly done. Just had the family round for Christmas Eve cheese and onion pasty - yum. Can't beat an excessive amount of pastry at any time of year but should set me up nicely for all the exercise I'll be doing over the next few days...oh god. Still, it was very good. Only half a hundredweight of mince pies to go.

Have a fantastic Christmas and hope to see you at a gig next year - the first one being at The Bull's Head in Barnes on January 13th with Steve Lodder on piano, Andy Hamill on bass and Mike Bradley on drums. You might recognise that as the 'A Swingin' Cat' posse. Excellent. And it looks like I'm going to be branching out further afield with my first Manchester gig on 5th March. More details soon.

Merry Christmas and a fab 2006.
