It's been a good and positive week. Support the podcast: bit,ly/SharkeyPatreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ive just noticed the podcast has had over 10,000 listens in it's life. Thank you so much! I'm on track to get the book finished and then I can focus on something else - all in a bid to displace the energy I'd be putting into touring if there wasn't a pesky rona going about. FEELING GOOD and ready to birthday next week. :) Support the podcast: bit.ly/SharkeyPatreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was lovely to be asked to talk to Anita and tony for the Micro Music podcast out of Southampton. I've been hyper busy with the album pre-release, release and post release so I'm putting that interview here and asking you all to subscribe to them.

Good morning, Hobo Sapiens. I've had a break and now it's time to think out-loud again. This year has not been the most enjoyable for people with my sort of work - we're all trying to work out how relevant we are as to how relevant we feel - and the two very rarely meet up. This is a re-cap of what's been happening in the break and what's to come - including recording album 16/40: Calm Down! this weekend coming and doing a live stream show on FB on Thursday 01st October.

Getting my head down to focus on writing and plans. So the podcast is going to go back to weekly. Then I'll have more to say. Support the podcast: bit.ly/SharkeyPatreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
