Happy to announce that the audiobook of Gogmagog is now up on Audible, narrated by the amazing Matthew Lloyd Davies. Steve and I spent an afternoon with him, a few months back, where he entertained us with his voices for all the characters. rb.gy/up93hu

A bonus warm day before the cold autumn/winter jams return. Had a fun afternoon revisiting part-started tunes, playing around with them and enjoying each others company.

Imagine if we had an album all nicely recorded and waiting for you all! That’d be real great wouldn’t it!

Happy Monster Day! The band's ninth studio album was released on this day in 1994. Share your favorite Monster tracks in the comments...

Be less afraid of getting things wrong than missing the chance to engage. Failing is life. No one so step-perfect to judge you. Behind every successful outcome is a weeping heap of mess. Stay curious. Doing stuff renders the demons toothless. Up and at it my beauties :-). Xxx

Woke to a dawn chorus of parakeets. Charmed beyond all reason.

A lunchtime coffee with a friend of some fifteen years who sends 😘 on her texts rather than x This, as much else, charms me about her She looked back, as we said our goodbyes, and in that moment I saw her as she might have been as a teen. Can looking back provoke vertigo?

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll live in debt for the rest of his life, while a man who was taught Latin at Eton and Classical History at Oxford becomes Minister For Fisheries.
