Had a fantastic time down in Cardiff with BBC Radio Wales on Wednesday. I played a couple of tunes and got grilled about where I grew up, what the heck I’m doing, the music I like etc etc. The team there were a lot of fun and it was a joy to be in Cardiff where my family roots are. In other extraordinary news while I was there the audio engineer had a Kit Kat and when he bit into it he found it was solid chocolate. No wafer! I felt honoured to be there to see it.
Really enjoyed this second gig at Union Chapel. Was slightly manic with the emergency sound guy rocking up at the last minute and no time for a soundcheck but was still fun and a great opportunity to play in such a great space. I just did two tracks – ‘Other Side’ and ‘Little Light’ and then sat back and enjoyed Sarah’s poetry and Helen’s tunes. Really nice chilled vibe. You can see a bit here below but the audio is a bit wacky:

Sorry for the lateness on the gig report. Was a really fun night at The Old Ship ‘Safe As Milk’ acoustic shennanigans. It was a really cool night – really laid back vibe with the stage and main bar area all open to each other – not like most of the dungeon style acoustic rooms in London. Really enjoyed the other acts too, especially Matt Geary – super bloke. Much respect to Jesse who runs the night and friendly locals Bianca and Mike who made us feel so welcome.
Was such a blast to play at Union Chapel last Friday. Despite a small daytime crowd it just felt great to play in such an awesome venue. Was doubly great to have Seana and Ruby there – Ruby stole the show with some pretty rad dance moves.
“There may be hundreds of singer-songwriters out there, but few can express their feelings with such honesty and sincerity, whereas every word uttered by Kris Morris, on this release, wrenches at the heart strings. If this is the shape of things to come you can expect to be hearing a great deal more from Kris in the future. 9/10″
