I've resuscitated my twitter account, thought I'd start by retweeting about last Sunday's Harcourt Open Mic session wot I run. 26 performers, heaps of fun and fab music. Every Sunday night from 7.30.

First-timers and collaborations as usual at the #HarcourtOpenMIc, welcome to Mark on his debut - thanks for the great tunes. Thanks also to Danny, Victoria, Rachel, Mark, Richard, Jennie, Alex, Freya, Ben, Romina, Rory, Sam, Samuel and to Alf Laila for the finale. Brill!

Thanks to all who made last night’s #HarcourtOpenMic so memorable. Too many to name everyone but thanks especially to #Mercedes (#FlamencoJoy) for bringing out the Spanish in all of us, and thanks to #ALFLaila for the awesome finale featuring most of the above. What a night!

Good times at the #HarcourtOpenMic last Sunday. Great to have #PollyandtheMarbles for the first time, and #Milan and #Lucy. Also there: #Dave, #Zara, #Kazu, #BrockandVixen, #Simon, #Nick, #John, #Gillian, #Doug, #John, #Mick, thanks to all, specially #Raymond for the fab finale!

Lovely Harcourt Open Mic last night, thanks to Sean on his debut, and to Zara, David, Jenny, Dylan, Raymond, Tony, Patti, The Mark Atherton Band, Sam Lunn, Alf Laila, Hex Collective, Rudolph, Mercedes, Aondoyima, Krystofer, Flaminia and Eleanora... What a night!

First tweet of the year, had to happen I suppose. This one is just to announce the release of my album later this week. Tracks etc are on the way, but here's the cover for a taster. It's an echidna by the way, in case you were wondering.

Very proud to announce my album is out now, "Thinking Beyond My Means" distributed by DistroKid and live on iTunes! music.apple.com/us/album/think… I hope you enjoy it : )

Very proud to present Patti Dale singing 'Nothing You Can Teach Me (About The Blues)' on my album, ft Samuel Williams (piano), Steve Lavington (lead guitar) and Oli Whitworth (drums). youtube.com/watch?v=9tbUJB…

Happy to help out at the Balkan Wanderers gig last night, it raised £1280 for Balkan flood victims. Fantastic music too.

Great musical bank holiday weekend: varied open mic (#HarcourtArms), then gigging with the #ScottGordonBand at #WitneyMusicFesitval. Fab!

#AngelInnWitney: me on bass with the #ScottGordonBand on Monday. Many thanks for letting us play the impromptu gig!

I'm playing at the Jude the Obscure on Thurs 16th, as part of Acoustic Thursdays. Should be noisy....

Looking forward to my gig at the Jude the Obscure in Jericho on Thursday. Thanks to One Wing Left for the invite!

Good times at the Jude The Obscure last night with One Wing Left's Anastasia, sang a few songs in and around the footie. Nice jam later too!

I was at the Union Chapel London to see #SteveEarle (Steve Earle) with #ShawnColvin the other night. What a great gig and a great venue!

Great times at #ScottGordon's open mic session at the #RoyalBlenheim last night, with guest host #RobBeckinsale. Good jamming with Diego!

Seems I'm playing at the #JudetheObscure tonight, at #MartiniRussa's open mic session. Come on down.
