My nose is growing! I don’t think I’ve been telling any porky pies.. it’s just a combination of ageing and the lighting conditions that prevailed when this little snap was taken on my new iPhone. But I WOULD be lying if I said I had any news... apart from that I recently splashed out on a new phone!  

Well, let’s think... I’m about to go on tour as John Shuttleworth, and release a Shuttleworth book on Omnibus Press - Two Margarines and Other Domestic Dilemmas. But sadly, my solo song output has been sluggish over the last year. While Gideon Coe continues to give Diary of a Skinbird from Weird Town an occasional spin on 6 Music (thanks mate!), my character comedy duties have prevented that difficult third album from progressing any further than a few scribbles and ‘la la las‘ on my erm... new phone, which I’ll get back to now, if you don’t mind!

Oh, I’ve just remembered -  I recorded  a podcast recently in which I discuss this and that with Richard Herring https://aca.st/e91b9b. Have a listen if you get a moment, and I’ll be back with some really exciting GF news by the second half of 2020 (I don’t know what it is yet, but I’m sure it will be more interesting than a new phone...).

Happy Christmas and a crazily peaceful New Year!  X
