		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m quite a technical songwriter. I have methods of writing. I can justify my choices of rhyme, structure and language. I studied songwriting. When I hear songs I analyse them. I see songwriting as a craft (ie. something you can learn and improve with practice).

		<description><![CDATA[The Internet is all about writing. Writing that inspires and excites, writing that informs and educates, writing in tags that make the web work, writing in 140 characters. Whatever you do in real life, it&#8217;s going to be represented on the web in writing. Yes, images and videos are important too, but they&#8217;re the cheese [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still trying to solve the problem of online gig listings, and I&#8217;m using the new Little Fish site as a guinea pig. The problem isn&#8217;t that the listings are bad, it&#8217;s that there are lots of them, and musicians don&#8217;t want to spend much time filling in forms on the web.

I&#8217;m going with ArtistData, [...]]]></description>

He surprised people with his informed take on the big picture of the music industry, prompting Gruber to stand up, hand on heart and proudly proclaim &#8220;A [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I played piano on Jont&#8217;s new album, and All My Life is one of the songs we&#8217;ve really enjoyed rocking live with the band (we all seem to find a common musical ground in the upbeat rockabilly kind of vibe). He just sent me a link to the video for the song, and it&#8217;s amazing:

I got back from playing the Little Fish gig in Manchester at about 4:30am on Sunday, and by 2pm I was down in the Half Moon warming up for a Troubadour set as part of James Bell&#8217;s rather excellent [...]]]></description>
