I know it’s a bit early to talk about summer, especially here in Sweden where the forecast for tomorrow is -11c, but here is a video of a new song ‘Drunk On Summer’. It’s from the gig in Tønder at Hagges Pub last week, one of my favourite watering holes.

Leonard Podolak and I singing my song ‘Drunk On Summer’ from the new album. 
Here is what I wrote about the song in the booklet notes, it also explains why I am swimming in a river fully clothed on the album cover. 
‘Some say the golden age is youth. I remember when I was sixteen. It was the last day of term and I had a great summer planned out. I was going to work for a few weeks, go hitchhiking in France with my bandmate Pete, then go and stay with my beautiful girlfriend and her rich parents. Pretty good plan for a sixteen year old. I was thinking about all that as I floated down the River Wey, still wearing my school uniform. The prison doors of childhood were beginning to open, a shaft of light was shining through, the freedom of adulthood beckoned. Remember that’? 
The trad tune here is an old English dance number called ‘Speed The Plough’.
