January newsletter

Friends Welcome to my first 2020 Newsletter

Mental health 2020

There was a quiet crossing over for me into 2020. After another difficult year with my poor mental health. My story kinda goes like this…… I decided almost 2 years ago that I wouldn’t drink, I’d also change my diet and I’d look to assist in anyway I could to help with my failing mental health getting better. Well it sorta helped and through doing the work I found out there’s no miracle cure, it really is a day by day ongoing search. Just when you think you’ve cleared the decks more life trouble comes up and sets you back and somehow you reset and go for it again. I’ve never been in a more precarious situation than I’ve been in over my mental well being and I’ve no answers I’m afraid!!! only to tell you that I keep going and hope that one day I’ll be able to live better with whats been given to me. I also hope for any fellow sufferers that peace comes to you soon. SPEAK OUT ABOUT IT IF YOU CAN, IT MAY HELP?
Luv luv luv JJ X

January for me is a time spent preparing for the year ahead which means I’ve no shows this month. So I go straight into February the 1st to play in Coatbridge my hometown for 50RPM, sadly if you haven’t got a ticket it’s sold out. We will do another show here soon as the demand has been so much we could’ve played 3 nights. Watch this space
