+ A SONIC TEMPLE + TAKES THE UK It’s been great to be back in the UK and the response to this tour has been amazing. I feel that this line up is on fire and I’m and really enjoying these shows!We felt it would be good to try something different on this run of dates and in Birmingham last week we were joined onstage by a string section to play ‘Edie’ with us which was the first time we’ve ever done that.

A look back at my 2016… “I think it’s fair to say that 2016 has been a year that has been filled with a lot of sadness for many of you especially with the passing of so many truly inspirational people. There will be loads of Year End Reviews full of lists of these stories and whilst my life has been shaken by many of them too I’ve chosen to focus on all the great things from my year in the hope that we can take some positive vibes on into 2017… If it’s JANUARY then it must be NAMM!… Read the full article.
