This past week the one and only Dee Long has kindly laid some rocking guitar tracks for the upcoming Meninos & Friends album. Thanks Dee!

I bought the iTunes Klaatu combo album today. 3:47 EST and Hope album! Sweet!

While on their monumental road trip, Fleetwood Mac have released an EP of new songs called Extended Play.

There isn’t much better than sharing a bottle of Casa Dragones with friends on Cinco de Mayo!

This is my new video for track 13 on my black n white album. Kaleidoscope Flowers. Adult Language.

It was 20 years ago on April 29, 1993 that we lost Mick Ronson.

I was lucky to have spent most of the day at Wembley on the 20th of April hanging around with Mick at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert. The whole show was amazing, and Ronson, Bowie, Hunter, Queen, Spike Edney, and  Joe Elliott and Phil Collen from Def Leppard, were no exception. I was watching from the right stage entrance. I’m playing the opening note on the organ in We Are The Champions.

Day 2 of the 2013 ASCAP Expo in Hollywood at the Loew’s/Renaisance/Holiday Inn in Hollywood was a delight.

I visited the Fleetwood Mac rehearsal in Los Angeles today, and what a fantastic band did I see! Awesome! If you are wondering who to spend your money on this year on the concert circuit, don’t miss Fleetwood Mac!

And, after many years apart, the old Hollywood-Dell mates reunited for a photograph.

And here they are, frozen in time at Sony Studios in (Harry) Culver City.

March 11 is the 2nd anniversary of the Tohoku Earthquake tragedy in Japan, “the fourth largest earthquake in history”.

Proceeds from Nick Wood’s song Hope, that we recorded with Julian Lennon and Tetsuya Komuro for the first anniversary in 2012, go to the Beyond Tomorrow organisation who are dedicated to helping the orphaned children of the disaster.

Click here to go to Nick’s blog, where you will find links to the videos and to sites where you can purchase the song around the world.

Although I didn’t make this list of Welsh expats celebrating around the world, I did find an undated photograph of yours truly singing and wearing Y Ddraig Goch t-shirt, many years ago!
