So less than a week now until our first show of the year, taking place at the Lantern Theatre in Liverpool. The last couple of weeks have been crazy busy for everyone here - tax returns, house moves, gig promotion and even the Queen musical We Will Rock You! But it's time to put all that to one side and concentrate on that which we'd both rather spend our time doing.

Speaking as a relative newcomer to this music it's been a great journey to this point to learn the intricacies of James Taylor's songs, and I'm in no doubt that there is no-one better to teach this than Brian. He has studied the music for many years and has not only absorbed the sound and nuances of the genre but has also had to adapt his own guitar playing technique to enable him to play as Taylor does.

I am thoroughly looking forward to this Friday in Liverpool and indeed the rest of this year's shows. If you are a Taylor fan you are guaranteed to love Sweet Baby James this year - if you aren't yet, you will be by the end of Act I !
