Lucy Dickins for knowing me so well. Liam Keightley, Brett, Laura, Lyndon, and Shingai for the best times. Jim Abbiss for capturing the moments. Richard ‘surgeon’ Wilkinson for having good ears and for laughing at my jokes. Neil Cowley, thank you so much, I’m chuffed we found you. You’re the most amazing piano player, and the funniest. Eg White for helping me moan about love productively. Mark ‘don’t fall over’ Ronson for bringing the tune to life, and for your enthusiasm and support. Jamie for putting hometown out, and for inspiring me, big love. The lovely Wil Malone, Chris Elliott, The London Studio Orchestra and Co., Ben Thomas, Tom Driessler, Seb Rochford, Louis Sharpe and Herbie Mann, Leon and Jeff aka Truth&Soul, Tony Cousins for the finishing touches. Ryan and James for stealing my heart. Dougie, Andy & Mike for the pasta, cosmo’s and publishing.

Paul Spraggon aka Spraggon the Dragon, Michael ‘darling’ Ashton (you can do my makeup but don’t touch my face), Ben Mortimer, Lucy Francis, Liz Penney, Conor Doherty, Imogen Brodie, Stuart Warden and Nick Williams. MySpace Folk, Natasha Mann, Felix Howard & Richard Antwi for spreading the word from before the beginning. The biggest thank you to my Nana & Grampy, the original romantics. My little brother Cameron, I can’t wait for our future. And last but not least, to ALL my friends and family, without you everything would be boring and my heart would be dull xx
If I forgot you I’m sorry, it doesn’t mean I’ll forget you.
