I Still Think About You …Chris Needs! It was wonderful to be back performing again. Reopening the Grand Pavilion Porthcawl was a joy and responsibility but as I stood in that room I couldn’t help but think about the last time I had performed there.
Entering the world of ‘Glitch’. I’m just about to release my first ‘Glitch’ recording. Is it possible to teach this old dog new tricks? The story of how I came to work with ‘Glitch’ music producer Dai Griffiths and ‘Glitch’ Artist Luna Lie Lot.
After months of cancellations I now have my first concert in 2 years in less than 2 weeks! Last spring I was totally in control now…what could possibly go wrong???
How I travelled all around the world whilst being stuck at home.
Back in 2016 a football team brought a nation together and made it proud. It couldn’t happen again…could it?
I Hope they judge this ‘book’ by the cover. This time around it hasn’t only been the record that’s been put together without seeing anyone. It’s also been the cover. This is the story of how using a piece of artwork by Swansea Artist Carolyn little has caught the eye of music radio producers everywhere.
Sometimes I used to sit in the Liberty Stadium with my heart pounding in my chest hoping that we would score an equaliser, or a winner or simply hold onto a lead. I used to look around the ground and see thousands of people feeling exactly the same emotion. Grown men shouting encouragement or abuse at one team or another, women close to tears and children looking at their mums and dads wondering what happened to their normally civilised parents…and I used to think to myself, wouldn’t it be better for all of us if we just didn’t care.
I won in the lottery…usually when lots of people win the lottery everybody has a smaller prize as you have to share the jackpot but with this lottery every winner gets the same great big prize
This Sunday, on BBC Songs of Praise, I sing an updated version of a song I wrote when I was 15. It was originally produced by Elton John at Abbey Road in 1977. Years later Elton gave me my songs back and ‘A Child’s Prayer’ really stood out to me. I remembered my teenage passion to ‘save the world’ and it made me think how the years have moulded and changed me, and my faith.
