TONIGHT!! Join me 6.30pm at The Chambers as I lead you through the amazing science that makes music a super-hack for your health in SO many ways.

I’ll explain why 50+ years of massive diet and fitness trends have failed to produce any healthy nations.

You’ll learn that good health might be simpler than you’re being led to believe.

This fun interactive session marks the 5th anniversary of my first book The Music Diet.

It will also be followed by a set by Pretty Crap 🎸

Hope to see you there.

I promise a fun evening of science, music and a bit of humour. Hope you can join me there.

Our first full Pretty Crap gig at Home Taproom was RAMMED full. You literally couldn’t have fit anyone else in that room. A wonderful sweaty night of rocking out to classic hits. Thanks to everyone who came along!

If you missed it, fret not.

We’re now booked to play outdoors on the Folkestone Harbour Arm stage on bank holiday Monday May 1st from 3pm.

Pop it in your diary and I hope to see you there for a Pretty Crap afternoon in the sun with the chilled version of our live set of hits ☀️
