I think we’ve had a really nice summer this year – not too hot, but regularly warm and dry, which has been great for the festival gigs! Sadly, the lovely weather we’ve been having has finally been replaced with some proper autumnal wind and rain and it feels like winter is just around the corner.

Fortunately there are a couple of interesting things on the horizon which gives me something to look forward to in 2015.

One of my bands (The Missing Persians) are discussing a couple of little tours next year – one in Italy and one in the Netherlands. No dates have been firmed up yet, but it’s looking likely that spring will see us playing among the windmills and possibly later in the year we could be visiting Potenza Picena. I’ve been to Holland a few times (I have some musical friends close to the German border) but I’ve yet to visit Italy so very hopeful that this comes together!

I’ll post more details when things get confirmed but while I’m sitting at my computer listening to the rain lashing against the windows at least it’s giving me a little bit of sunshine to look forward to!
