It's amazing...

...how long it can take for a song to 'take' with an artist! My song 'This Is Me' was written for a fundraiser for Mencap something like three years ago now, and has floated around (mainly in cyberspace and on my publisher's hard drive) ever since. Then suddenly I hear that Belgian ex-Idol artist Born Crain has recorded it and may even release it as a single. Great news, and I'm really pleased it's Born as he's already included my song 'I Won't Be There' on his last album, which charted in Belgium and Japan. We met up a couple of months ago when he was in the UK and wrote some new songs - he's a really nice, grounded guy. Let's hope it works out.

Here's wishing a very Happy Christmas and immensely successful 2010 to one and all
