After three glorious, raucous years tearing it up in New York, it's time to go home.

I'm heading back to my native London with the delectable Ms Penelope Fishuncle, there to perpetrate further musical shenanigans and (this is the good bit) be a father. You can expect to hear the new arrival on tape within a few weeks of the birth, I should think- we reckon we'll probably start the nipper on percussion just as soon as (s)he works out how to whack stuff.

The very final (for now) show will be on July 11 at my adopted musical home, Sidewalk Cafe. I have the whole night booked out with some of my very favourite acts and you're warmly invited.

July 11, Sidewalk Cafe- 94 Ave A, NYC

Thanks for an amazing three years, and we'll see you on the 11th!
