With "Hard Not to Fall" now being released I've been busy busy promoting it all around the country. Now while most of it has been on radio up until now, I have taken a little time to film some TV pieces too and have some real great live gigs coming up too over the next month or so...then I'm back to hibernating in the studio for a few weeks...cracking on with the album. Oh some serious writing to continue on with...but all very exciting! It's nice to have so much input and control over my material, and work in general this time around. Radio and studio pics are a bit boring to see...and I also look like a prize pleb in those headphones...hence no pictures to see from them here :) I have however included some from a bit of a fun day this week...
Martyn, my manager and main co-writer, is also a captain for Bmibaby! (Impressive huh?...a multi-tasking man haha...joke!!) So we took a BBC film crew along to Birmingham airport with us before a quick trip to Amsterdam in the afternoon. I was super excited to get clearance to get my turn in the flying seat...although disappointed they didn't actually let me fly the plane, but aparently I need some sort of licence and major qualifications to do that! ;) This job brings some serious perks though...some years ago I got to, would you say "drive??", a frigate... (HMS Chatham to be precise...look it up! Oh man! What a boat??Haha) ...in the baltic sea, with all the Navy on board too! They trusted me!! MADNESS! Although, I couldn't crash it in fairness, and there were no ice-bergs, so we weren't likely to spring a leak and sink in a hurry either! LOL :) Fun memories! I wish I was a blogger back then! Or at least kept a good journal! Still I have some good pics and great memories.
So here I am above, in the cockpit. It was so nice to see the pilot's view! Then we have Captain Baylay on the right, having his interview onboard with the BBC.
This is my security pass for birmingham airport. As you can imagine security is extremely tight...so we had a whole load of checks, and I had to wear a hideous high vis jacket, and these truly wrong looking ear protectors, and I had to have this pass...I took a picture of it as it made me laugh so hard! My married name is Satterley...spot the spelling mistake on the pass! I didn't notice this until I'd been wearing it for ages! Then I broke in fits of laughter. I don't know why it seems to always be pronounced and spelled incorrectly...but this has to be one of the best ones! :)
A big THANK YOU to Birmingham Airport and BmiBaby for all your help and support with promoting the new track too!
