It is made up of three remixes done by other people that I really like, plus a song I wrote for a friend of mine who lives in New York and was making a series of short films about what is the truth. Have a listen, I think it is pretty good. <a href="http://chrisfordmusic.podomatic.com/entry/2012-03-26T08_51_29-07_00">http://chrisfordmusic.podomatic.com/entry/2012-03-26T08_51_29-07_00

I am putting the finishing touches to my new album at the moment. We have already recorded 10 tracks, but as I have been writing so much recently and have been become pretty excited with the results I wanted to record a further 4 or 5 tracks. It is a good process and I am really looking forward to getting these tracks out to the world asap. 10 tracks, but as I have been writing so much recently and have been become pretty excited with the results I wanted to record a further

We are remixing a couple of the tracks we recorded right at the begining of the album. These songs were pretty new when we started putting them down. In the mean time I have been gigging the songs quite a bit so I felt I was singing them slightly differently so wanted to capture that. That meant doing a new lead vocal, etc, and remixing. It is hard sometimes to revisit a track after you think it is finished but once I got going I thought this is pretty good. Also been writing quite a lot recently.

It should be great. I really enjoyed being on her show last year. I will get the opportunity to play two live songs and have a good chat. Really looking forward to it.

My first performance was on Saturday afternoon. I did a 45 minute set. Really good audience. Got a great reaction to my songs. I was pouring with sweat by the end of the set. Bit of a Springsteen moment at least visually. On sunday I had to play a pretty early set, but was lucky enough to have a really good audience. The sound was great and loved every minute of the whole experience. Hope to go back next year to do it again. I would just like to thank Alan for putting&nbsp;me on&nbsp;at such short notice. good audience. Got a great reaction to my songs. I was pouring with sweat by the end of the set.

I had the luck to meet both of them on separate occasions. I met Jerry Leiber&nbsp;with&nbsp; Mike Stoller his songwriting partner&nbsp;a few years ago.&nbsp;I was a bit blow away to have the chance to meet such writers, but I found them both to be incredably down to earth and happy to sit and chat about their song writing. Wonderful people. I met Nick Ashford about three years ago when I got the chance to play at the club in New York that he ran with his wife Valerie Simpson. I only had the opportunity to speak with them briefly after I had performed, but I remember buzzing for several days afterwards thinking&nbsp;Nick Ashford had really liked the song I had played that night. Like Jerry Leiber he was a brilliant songwriter who's music will be played for the rest of time.

I want to thank John &quot;Gilly&quot; Gilmore, Chris T, Carol and all for putting the show together. We had a packed radio theatre in Darwin street. The audience was wonderful, as I must say, they are, every time I have had the pleasure of doing this show. I played an extensive set which included songs such as Ghosts, Warp Glass, A Little Rain Must Fall and a song I haven't played for a while, When Every Single Word Is True. I also tried out some news songs such as The Summer Of. The show is still available on BBC iplayer for a couple more days, so check it out if you get the chance. I am off back to the north west this weekend to play at the Fylde Folk Music Festival. I am playing on Saturday September 3rd and Sunday September 4th. Should be really good fun.

I will be on air at 3 pm. The show is in front of a live audience in the radio theatre. It was fully booked after 5 days after it was featured on the BBC in the audience web site. I love this show as the audience is very close to where I am performing, creating a very intimate atmosphere, quite unlike many gigs and what is great it is that it is on the radio at the same time. I will get the opportunity to play a lot of new material from my forth coming album The Light On The Hill plus songs from All Caught Up and This Atlantic Low. I will also have a crack at some completely brand new songs, such as On The Greatest Day which I only wrote yesterday. I&nbsp;really like how this song has come together and want to see how it goes down.
