She's arrived!

And so, the big day finally came...

My first child, a daughter, arrived at midday on Father's Day, Sunday 20th June 201, weighing in at 7lbs 8oz (3.4kg), 49cm long and with a head measurement of 34cm (for those that like the details!)

She was hypnobirthed at home in water between the hours of 02.00 and 12.00 with no intervention or drugs or gas and air and I was brilliantly supported by two baby dads, one grandma, two midwives, two cats and one puppy, Dusty. It was truly the most fulfilling and empowering experience of my life.

Our baby girl has yet to be named, much to many people's disappointment, although we are trialing a name at the moment and have booked the last possible registrar appointment!

As you can imagine, the music has taken a back seat, however, amazingly, I was being played some footage from the album launch the other day whilst holding the baby and she immediately went into a completely relaxed state. I suppose she was with me throughout much of the writing, recording and performing of the album, only on the inside, so she is completely familiar with it! The power of music.

Baby's first gig:

Solfest, Cumbria, Saturday August 28th 2010. I know it's far but if you jsut happened to be in the area...!
