Hi Everyone!
Just to let you know that recovering from a stroke takes an awful lot longer than I thought! Especially if you're as stubborn as I am and am always trying to do too much!
But I am on the road to recovery and physically am doing fine. Mentally and emotionally, however, life has become somewhat of a struggle, while my brain 'rewires' itself!
l have done a few gigs this year and have a few more booked (see my gigs page) but I am finding they are really taking their toll so I am keeping the next few months as clear as possible, with the odd gig to keep my hand in. In the meantime, I must try and be patient, and I look forward to seeing you all again at a gig in the future
