There are now some videos on youtube of performances from NEW WORDS SHARED WITH FRIENDS, the concert of songs with my lyrics at the Battersea Barge last Sunday, so I thought I’d share them on here in case anyone on the Board may be interested. More videos will be uploaded during the week – but here’s the first selection.
