This was followed by the seasonal EP '6 Christmas tales...', second album 'The Rise and Fall of Responsibility' in 2008 and his second seasonal EP; 'Rhymes for Rainy Days'. In August 2009 he released his third album 'Time is a Wound' followed by his third seasonal EP 'The Edge of Spring' at the start of 2010.
