Either way, Happy New Year! It’s still January, that means it’s okay, yeah? I mean, I looked up from my laptop the other night and realised that we may still have our Christmas tree up…where is this year going? It’s going fast, in a fun and frantic way full of lovely projects.

I’m really pushing my Drummers to the Rescue project this year - I enjoy teaching but more good must come from this…there’s a lot of people in the country (and world!) in a less privileged place than us, we can help with charity gigs and have a lot of fun in the process.

In the meantime, my brand new show, HARVEY GREENFIELD IS GETTING MARRIED opens in London next month and it’s looking every bit as frantic as the first instalment so I’ve spent every evening when I’m not drumming practicing for that. My other new show, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Drummer, opens at the fabulous Leicester Comedy Festival merely a few days later. And then Fred’s House start touring again, it’s a good job my lovely wife bought me a fancy new coffee machine for Christmas….
