April in moments...

Here is our photographic diary of April which has been such a busy month. We have dived into an ocean of songwriting, experimentation and discovery plus a first-time trip to the Algarve over Easter.

April in moments...

Wow!! April has been a whirlwind of new sounds, new friends and new places.

We have been immersed in experimentation and writing for Starlite.One, our third studio album. We are working with jazz-rock-fusion drummer Hugo Danin from Porto on this project. Simon is producing and engineering the whole album which is a huge job! We are over half way there now and can’t wait for you to hear it.

At the beginning of April we also decided to take a couple of days off and go and explore The Algarve and stay with our cool friend Euan which was a much needed break. On the way down we stopped off at our favourite restaurant in Alcácer do Sal and had a fabulous fish soup for lunch!! It’s a different world again.

Here are some photographs that tell of our adventures…

And finally…

I hope you have enjoyed a little snapshot of my photographic journey here in Portugal. The light is so bright… it feels like you are in a movie some days… a bit like being in California… it’s a good job we are workaholics!

Next week it’s over to Simon.
