I’ve just completed work on the Steve Stroud (ie: Moi) solo Lavalamp Album . It’s a really nice feeling to complete an Album as a songwriter. I’ve released a few over the years that I did not produce, but I think it’s even more involved and rewarding to complete one that you’ve wrote, performed, recorded, edited, mixed […]

I’ve been so busy it’s been hard to find time to change my guitar strings, nevermind anything else (That reminds me…) Anyway, over July/Aug /Sept the duo I play in The Deltatones have been crazily busy, playing up to five gigs a week , which is […]
