Very emotional Gramps here- just seen pictures of my eldest grandchild Owen going to school. Tears running down my cheeks as I see him in his uniform gripping his book bag.

Talking about school I have my first gig of the autumn in a special school in Cirencester on Friday.

I have been busy on writing for The Two Severn Bores. Our new show is based on Arthurian Legend with the ancient wizard Merlin. I have tried something different this time with the links between stories and music so watch this space.
