Christmas Eve, already? Madness. This year has been completely mad for me, and in the way of these things it both feels like it has lasted a lifetime and only just started. Safe to say I’m not complaining. Thanks to all you lot who made it happen. I have a little break now, a few days with family, then a smattering of shows (Zurich, Southampton, Manchester etc). Next year kicks off properly with the Dropkick Murphys European shows, which I am very much looking forward to.

It’s been mentioned elsewhere, but in case you missed it… Tomorrow (Christmas Day), Xtra Mile Recordings and I will be giving everyone a special free present to say thanks for the support in 2012, and looking forward to 2013 and the new album. Details are here. Happy Christmas everyone.
