Chamonx
Took the van to Chamonix this weekend and what a stunning resort! À gruelling drive down through the mountains but when you arrive the view is simply spectacular, the moon was shining so brightly when we arrived on Friday night that it looked like the snow on Mont Blanc was glowing in the dark. One thing that always hits me when I travel through mountain ranges is how insignificant we are in terms of the size that surrounds us!
Sunday morning was spent exploring a bit, with an amazing Reblochon Burger which was to die for!
Played a lovely 2 hour set in the afternoon and the songs went down really well, and signed a couple of CDs for audience members.
I can't wait to come back and play here again! Off to Geneva now for tonight's gig!

Tour and Travel Updates
Hey peeps
I've been very quiet on here recently. Been sorting out a few bits and bobs and also busy gigging and organising the Nashville Showcase Tour, with some exciting gigs that I'll announce very soon.
Last 10 days I've played in Chanay, Annecy, Bellegarde and Geneva. Amazing reception each time, really pleased with how well the single is going down and am pleased to say that when back home for Christmas I'll have to collect another batch of CDs as I literally only have a handful left - if any of you would like to purchase a copy of The Darkness Fades EP either on 7' Vinyl or on CD please feel free to put your order in by emailing curransolomusic@gmail.com - it's the perfect stocking filler!!!
Will be updating more regularly again....... promise!!
When at uni I remember studying the May '68 protests in France, there's a similar feeling among the French and I've spent a lot of time speaking with those who are protesting against the current government in France. Today protestors are heading to Paris on train and bus to be heard. Following my conversations with locals I wrote the following poem as their views are quite strong and inspiring.
Remember '68?
Are we just a number?
Have we reached our limit?
We're talking about the common good
Don't know if I fit in it.
You remember the feeling back in 68?
When we were in turmoil against the state
We fought with pride and sealed our fate
But now's not the time to sit and wait
The feeling is reminiscent
Of a time back when
We fought against the system
And friend supported friend
But the government has brought us here
Right onto our knees
Not a sous to pay the bills
Nor a cent to sort out the late fees
Anyhew, I'll keep you up to date regularly from now!

A Week Off With The Kids
Got a week off on this tour and made the most of it by spending time with my kids. We had a great time together, played lots on the beach and at the park. Of course a time spent here it would be terrible not to visit singer songwriter David Keenan's songwriters night. Great fun and some great musicians were on awesome form! For me the best part for me was being able to share the stage with my beautiful daughter Ocean. Click on the links above to listen to the performance.
Be heading off again soon for tour of France!
