Somewhat ironic that my first show of the tour in South Korea should be called Sleeper.

Sleep was the one thing missing from my life at this time. 13 odd hours of travel and missions from London to Seoul and then a few hours killed in the city whilst making my way to my venue.

I was met at the airport by a wonderful guy called Nicholas. He is a musician himself but also a wise and wonderful soul.

He reached out to me on Facebook nearly a year prior when I was on the road in Japan. He offered to help me get concerts around Korea and at the time I was unable due to European commitments already in place. But we stayed in touch and when I reached out to him he made it possible for things to work.All this and you must bear in mind we had never even met each other face to face.

So hear I am back in asai at the tail end of a year that start in New Zealand and is ending in Korea via, Japan, Italy, Netherlands (twice), Poland, Germany, France and the UK.

We arrived at tour venue and I chilled with the wonderful staff and the other musicians who were from Korea and the Netherlands themselves. A lot of experimental styles involved and some amazing beatboxing to boot.

I found when it came time to step up and play that I was getting an electric shock from the mic. So I chose to do something almost never done in my career. I wore shoes. This stopped the flow of the current and ensured I survived the concert.

My show was kind of a case of playing what I felt most comfortable to play. What was awesome was to meet an american called Frank who joined me on Alto Sax for 2 tunes.
