Great wonderful unforgettable shows in Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt. Arrived in Freiburg yesterday, just in time for the carnival. Lots of beer, wine, happy faces, sunny blue skies. We’ve made our home in the bus, driven by Michael- Will post more live pictures shortly
Just arrived in Karlskrona, hot soup and friendly smiles. We had a tough drive from Norrköping, 4 hours in snow storm, saw baby deer, had gas station coffee. Good show last night in Norrköping. I’m forever thankful to those who came out to see us instead of watching the swedish pre-Eurovision Song Contest on TV. Swedish actor Thorsten Flinck apparently got out of hand, hands on ass. Night ended at the local joint “Munken”…we met nice ladies, drunk 17 year old boys and a guy called little Steven, Dave almost got into a fight.
Tour premiere in lovely Gothenburg. Me and Dave walking a thin line. A few glasses of wine, a warm crowd, exciting times on stage followed by a hours in a bar without windows.
Early morning walk, down into the cave of the Weeping Willows. Will use their rehearsal space the next couple of days.
Thanks everyone who came out/tuned in Friday to hear us play at Radiohuset in Stockholm. You saw/heard Johan Person on guitar, Anna Wallgren on cello and Hanna Helgegren on violin.
Leaving New York on my way to Stockholm. In my headphones Elbow “The Birds” Tomorrow concert at Radiohuset, this weekend rehearsals with Ferg then tour.

Spent the last 2 days in Nashville working on a vinyl EP with Dave Ferguson. 4 covers songs, will hopefully be pressed and ready for the tour in January.
Went running tonight, a black pick-up truck drove by 3 times. Goodlettsville gets dark and quiet, I ran faster than I have in a long time. Will spend a couple of days at Dave Fergusons – rehears, take pictures and play with the dogs.
