This is a picture of my granny's knife. My mum gave it to me when she was clearing out granny's house after her death. I was in my first rented flat and needed all the basic kitchen stuff. It's just a battered old Kitchen Devil knife, but it is very practical and I love the way it...

A quick question to help me with a new song! Could you tell me one thing you find frustrating or annoying about ageing? Extra points if you've got a funny spin on it, but there's no requirement for humour! 1/2

The music video for All Shall Be Well is strongly influenced by the wonderful drawings of Jan Pienkowski. I loved this set of miniature fairy tale books when I was a child, and I still do. They were crammed full of very detailed black silhouettes of palaces, witches, dragons and the like... 1/2

“This too shall pass” is a key phrase in my new song, and I love the fable that it comes from… It is said that there was a powerful king who assembled all his wise men and asked them to create a ring which would make him happy when he was sad, and that would be true and appropriate in all... 1/3
