February Update

Hello Folks!

It feels like my feet haven't touched the ground this month.  Its been crazy, in a good way of course!  With the new album coming out in March there have been loads of interviews to do plus a bunch of great gigs.  The first review for Dust and Bones has just been published- I'm really pleased with it, if you would like to read it the link is here.  

Its now confirmed that I'm doing some dates in Belgium in April so if you have friends over there let them know I'm coming!!

New Year Update

Happy New Year! I hope you had a lovely Christmas.  

This year sure got off to an amazing when I got an email telling me that I had won the WRC "Best Acoustic Performance of 2011" Award.   I was thrilled and they presented me with a very lovely canvas print to commemorate winning.

Then on, 4th Jan, the title track off the new album came out as a single to the radio stations.  Its already been played on around 20 shows in Europe, the USA and here with the local BBC show running a feature on me next week.  Tune into a blues show and you might well hear it- the album, of course, comes out 23rd March and there will be a little extra for people ordering early, all will be revealed in March.

I've been booked to play at a number of festivals this year, and I'm off to Belgium to do a few dates there in April which will be great fun.  I'm planning on going by train which might be an adventure in itself..

November Update

I've had some brilliant gigs including The Red Hot Blues Club in Didcot (if you're in the area and haven't been to this club check it out, its very good.  I also had brilliant gigs at Scunthorpe Blues Festival and The Grey Horse in Kingston with Robin Bibi.  This month I'm heading up north again to support Chantel McGregor at the Yardbirds Club in Grimsby.

I've now got a lovely new shop on my website where you can buy downloads of all my music, CDs and T-Shirts-have a look here

See you at a gig soon!

October Update

What a rock and roll month!  The majority of the last month has been spent in the recording studio working on the new album.  Its all recorded now and we're tweaking the final mixes before it goes off to be mastered.  I'm very excited about it, and honestly think its the best I have ever recorded.  The album (called "Dust and Bones") comes out early in 2012 but some radio stations will be getting a sneak preview in the form of a single so listen out for one of the tracks on the airwaves!

I've done some lovely gigs this month too including the Blackburn Blues Festival and a really enjoyable solo gig at The Flowerpot in Derby.  

Have a lovely month!

September Update

This month has has gone by with some fantastic gigs including playing support to Buddy Whittington at his sell out show in London.

I've also done a couple of lovely interviews.  You can hear them both online, the first was a lovely acoustic session and interview with Dave Raven for his show Raven 'n' Blues.  You can hear the whole show and watch a video of the songs here.  The second interview was with the guys from Wrinkly Rockers who interviewed me at the Colour House Theatre before my gig there a few weeks ago.  Its a lovely interview and can be heard here.

Rob Stanley, the wonderful rock photographer, and I spent the most amazing afternoon taking the cover shots for the next album.  I won't give too much away but it was a great location, very cool. Now its heads down and into full recording swing with the studio sessions starting at the end of September and a few final rehersals before we go in.  Its looking like it'll be out around February time.  

This month there are some lovely gigs coming up too, it would be great to see you at one (or all !) of them.
