28/02/23 - 10-years in the wilderness - Session 4: Kev had done various bits of work since I was last in the studio. I'd had a few strange ideas to modify my latest weird song, 'Celeb', which required my presence in the studio. Kev was very patient with me and we worked through it and hopefully got it done - he wasn't sure, but will now mix it and we'll see if it works. Some of these ideas had been keeping me awake at night, so at least now I can sleep, until the next crazy idea takes over my brain.

05/01/23 - 10-years in the wilderness - Session 3: A new year and I'm hard at work on the new EP. We recorded the acoustic lead guitar and finished vocal for, 'Acoustic blues and me.' We then recorded a basic guitar part and vocal for my latest new song, 'Hair'. As ever, Kevin will do some work on both songs before I return for the next session. I have two other new songs that are still in writing stage, but the ideas are pretty well formed inside my head - I'm really enjoying it.

15/12/22 - 10-years in the wilderness - Session 2: I've had a bit of a gap since my previous session, but am now ready with new songs and some crazy ideas. We put the vocal down on, 'Celeb' and built the basic track for, 'Acoustic blues and me'. A really good session. Kevin will do some work on both songs before I return to the studio in the New Year.

22/09/22 - 10-years in the wilderness - Session 1: Back in the studio with Kevin Jones. My mantra is to keep on pushing the envelope and see where I can go with it all. I had an idea to take an old recording of mine (Always there) from 1993 and make a new song out of it called, 'Celeb'. We chopped up the original song and I took it away to work on the lyric and other ideas.

Radio Plays and Review by Peter Walsh

Friday 20/01/23 365 Radio: Here's an audio clip of Dawn Parry & Peter Walsh reviewing my song, 'Emotional clickbait’ on Dawn's Jukebox Judgement Breakfast Show.

01/01/23 - Looking back & looking forward: 2022 - We started a sort of return to normality after two years of Covid uncertainty, but there's a lot about the outside world that just seems sad and wrong. I kept myself busy and was as obsessive as ever, making music, videos and featuring on local radio stations. I've got lots of plans for 2023, with a new 5-song EP called, '10-years in the wilderness' in the pipeline. Happy New Year. x
