The new single 'Blue Sky Thinking' is available now for download from iTunes. It's my first single and probably my last! All proceeds from sales will be donated to the LoveHopeStrength Foundation. At last I'm doing something tangibly useful instead of acting the goat and playing the guitar just for fun..

..My inspirational, beautiful, gifted mother died a few years ago of cancer. Her life touched many others in a very positive way, but was cut way, way too short by this far-reaching disease. Today British scientists announced they have found almost all the genes responsible for breast cancer and are well on the way to finding the ones responsible for other forms. This will enable us to target people most at risk with simple screening procedures in the near future. In the early 70s the 5 year survival rate after diagnosis with cancer in the UK was 21%. Today it is 46%. There is hope and things are getting better, but funding for this kind of research needs to be ramped up and not scaled down.

"Blue Sky Thinking' is about making your dream happen, so to me it fits in with the aims of the foundation - set up by Mike Peters and James Chippendale who have both successfully fought off cancer.

Thanks

Nick

PS If you haven't got iTunes you can download a free PC or Mac version here.  

In advance of the forthcoming UK tour the live DVD 'Love Is Music' is now on sale at harperspace.com. Details can be found here

It tells the story of how a modern day troubador can make music and survive outside the 'music business' and also captures the essence of Nick in concert. It's a collection of old favourites with a sneak preview of some material from the forthcoming CD 'Miracles For Beginners' all captured in posh 5.1 surround sound. Is it 'even better than the real thing'? Only you can decide..

Love (and music)

Harpic calling.

Loads happening in harperspace right now.
First and foremost I'm out on the road in the UK again as of next Tuesday.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again,
acting the goat and singing the odd song etc.
Click here for all the dates of the tour and beyond..

Also sometime before next Monday 30th April I'll have the legendary live DVD,
well it's also a sort of a film, a..if you will..rockumentary.
You can get a copy from me on the tour or order one from the website. Keep checking here

That's just the start folks.
I'm going to release a single during the tour. Yes you read that right - a single.
After that the new album will hit the shelves of a retail outlet near you on June 4th.

And that's without even mentioning the fabulous festivals I'll be doing during the summer..
..or the gig at Base Camp on Mt. Everest in October.

I'll let you know the full story as it happens, but for now crank up those browsers and get your tickets for the tour sorted - it's going to be a blast.

More soon..
