HOW is this remotely possible without AI being “taught” to learn by stealing or imitating original artists/musicians’/songwriters’ existing recordings and performances??? FFS!!!! Game over for many music creatives 🤯

Really looking forward to these gigs. Only a handful of duo shows this year x

Sometimes the answer is there for all to see.

In just under a two weeks I'll be appearing at @TheBathFestival giving a book talk & singing some songs. Come down to hear more about my stories and how it all came to be - ask questions, say hello, and I'll be signing after. 7:30pm, Tuesday May 22nd, in The Guildhall x

Walking through #Frome tonight I was shot in the face by a BB gun multiple times by someone from a passing vehicle. I’m ok but really, really shocked, the Avon and Somerset Police police have been great. Be aware x

An update x

Looking forward to both of these shows. Come along if you’re free
