Huge impact on me. I can only judge him on first impressions but wow, his deep but delicate talent had the chapel crying for more. Everyone shed a tear, especially with his Gillian Welch encore. Astonishing.

The most perfect night curated by Gilles Peterson at the House of St Barnabas. Unbelievable quality on display. I mean, you'd have thought he'd have cracked it by now, but still, the enthusiasm on display was glorious.

Do you know Eska? You do? Well, imagine hearing her in a chapel... Honestly. The beauty and purity seemed somehow almost beyond music. Gilles curated this lot together for House of St Barnabas and I was very proud indeed to be asked along by Sav Remzi, an old school legend in the game. Lotta love in this house.

Magical night at HofSB. Follow them please, support them and love what they do.

I know, I know.

How lovely to spend an autumnal evening with my old pay Jimpster. He's THE best deep house DJ you know, preferred by all house music cognescenti and rolling out lushness worldwide every weekend. The world owes him for the joy he's spread I reckon. Peep at http://www.freerangerecords.co.uk/ to hear more loveliness.

I know I've mentioned them already but it's my blog and I can repost if I like. Nice tees for sale at The Quiet Life with my photo and signature and all the good stuff.

International recognition is always a nice treat.

Thanks Nigel TM and the band for a truly memorable shoot. The heavens opened the very second we got back to the car, which was very significant to us at the time (without wanting to get all Woodstock on you).

Celebrations well earnt and fully justified.
