FLY High in 2016

2015 for me has been a long year in certain aspects but it’s all developed and is now ending on a very postive note. All the hard work on the album and the seeds that have been planted have begun to flower…slowly but surely…and this approach I’ll carry on with throughout 2016. Thanks to everyone (especially Eddy Morton) who worked on it with me, thanks to all those people that have supported me, all the radio stations and presenters and the reviewers who have been very complimentary about the album…and lastly but most importantly…THANK YOU to all those people that have bought it and all those people that have supported my live appearances. FLY HIGH good people 🙂 X I hope to see you more and more throughtout 2016…ONE LOVE…FLY FOREVER

O’Dea @ THE BBC…

Had a great time on the Richie Anderson Show on BBC WM on Wednesday afternoon. Many thanks to all that listened and the supportive comments plus… many thanks to Paul Flower who (to describe using metaphors)… played an inch perfect through ball to Jenny Wilkes, who played a first time pass to Andy Swift who crossed it into the box where Richie Anderson nodded it down and I volleyed it into the back of the net Bomber Brown style…get in many thanks to you all 🙂
