Will has been very busy this summer, starting with the music festivals which he played for the first time after attending for years as a punter. He was very pleased with his reception and hopes to be invited back again.

To promote the singles Changes and Grace, he appeared in several TV programmes, such as X-Factor, Top Gear, Here Come The Boys, For One Night Only, The Paul O’Grady Show and Children In Need. He also took part in the Olympic handover concert in the Mall, gave a speech at the Oxford Union and attended the Jingle Bell Ball. He is due to perform at Elton John’s Party on New Year's Eve, and this will be shown on ITV.

Will has just finished his amazing Theatre Tour, which received rave reviews from critics all over the country. Will seems happy with his new band and they often got a special mention from the critics. It was a simple set, with excellent lighting, and just Will and the band with no frills. This was what a lot of fans had been waiting for, smaller venues and a chance to hear that fantastic voice clearly.

Will is planning a big celebration for his 30th birthday in January. He shares this day with his twin brother, Rupert, who has also been very successful this year in starting up a charity to help people with depression. After battling for years with this condition, he has set up the Mood Foundation, and to launch it, did a sponsored pedalo ride down the whole length of the Thames with Will joining him for the last lap.

We look forward to 2009 and hopefully more promo for further singles. Will is also keen to keep up his interest in acting, so we hope he gets his chance this year.
