#1 




a suprise visit from swamp favourites casey shea and wes 'weschester' hutchinson resulted in the soon to be classic kylie cut 'stardust'.

with a little help from stardust band members scarlett skye,silent E and stylist biff.

yes,we are silver dancers.



other recent songwriting colabs with emeli sande,jade williams,lise karlsnes and wayne hector.



pixie lott still #1 UK airplay with 'boys and girls'.working harder than ever.



the musical 'dreamboats and petticoats' featuring my songs 'dream baby dream' and 'you won't catch me crying' now has two shows running.one in the west end and one on the road.it's quite silly but a lot of fun.the flimsiest of scripts introduces songs from pre-beatle england in the style of the queen show 'we will rock you'.but it all works.

based in cambridge market.go greener.look meaner.(in the 'cool' sense not the miserly way).

boys and girls ; girls and boys 
pixie's second single 'boys and girls' was added immediately to the kiss radio network and also capitol.

now this week it's been added to the A list BBC radio2 and the C list BBc radio1.pretty good.



recently mads and i have been writing with adam reily (australia's max martin) and also with golden voiced darren hayes. (who's making a new pop record..savage gardening?).



'dreamboats and petticoats' has transferred to the savoy theatre in london's west end.i went to the premiere with lord andrew lloyd webber.(well actually he was a few rows ahead of me).the show gets better and better.



other events...



saw the shepherd fairey exhibition at boston's brilliant ICA.just brilliant.

got dizzy at the guggenheim NYC.

ate oysters for the first time at 'neptunes'.(ben affleck had just left).

had a surfing lesson on the jersey shore.if only i was 10 kilos lighter...

had a day in province town.
