Happy/commiserate Mad Friday!!

I’m writing to let you know that next December 20th 2024 I am taking a terrifying leap of faith and putting on both my Graceland band and Weetwood Mac(where I don short shorts and pretend to be John McVie)at the Barbican in York. Ambitious? Definitely. Deluded? Almost certainly. Fun? You betcha.

Tickets are onsite from TODAY and can be gotten HERE;

Thanks all and Big Love…

I’ve recently started writing again after a long while and the first finished song is now available on my Bandcamp page. It’s called ‘In June’ and is about my Mum who passed away last June. It’s very much a demo but I feel I will record it how it is in this version – just a guitar and vocal. You can listen and buy the song HERE.

May 2024 – I am embarking on my first solo tour, so check out where and when on my gigs page! If you fancy coming to any of the shows, I’d really appreciate you being there. Thanks!

Wow. More than half-way through the year already! Tempus fugit and all that…News! Is there any? Ahem…I’ve got a tan. I recently turned Forty(cough)something. I took a tour of the Bombay Sapphire Distillery in Whitchurch. Did you know that EVERY single drop of Bombay Sapphire is produced at Laverstoke Mill? Oh. You did? Hardly news then really really. Spoil-sport. So…

GIGS

June saw me back behind some drums after a while for a gig in Settle with The Mighty Young – a new(ish) band that have been brought together to play out Rosie Doonan & Ben Murray’s acclaimed ‘Mill Lane‘ Album. You can watch us do a song HERE;

We also played our first Festival of 2023 with Graceland – the fabulous Moonbeams Festival – a firm favourite of ours and hosted by our Agent boss 😉 It was a ‘damp’ affair but that didn’t stop us having the best time ever. And the rain actually literally stopped just before we started to play!!

MAY 2024 TOUR!!!

I’m doing it. I’m finally going to be packing my little Corsa up with my guitar, amp and all the albums I can carry and heading out on Tour next May!! I’ll be taking in Yorkshire the first half of the tour(Ripley, Settle, Wetherby, Helmsley) and then I’m venturing South for the second half(Birmingham, St.Albans, London, Southampton, Winchester, Bath and Exeter). I’m both excited and nervous in equal measure. Do please check my gigs page for the actual shows and venues and I’d love it if you could come to a show that’s near you!

NEW RECORDING

I recently recorded a guitar and vocal part for a song that’s going to be included in the lovely Edwina Hayes new record!! It’s a cover of a very well-known song but that’s all I can say for now… 😉

GRACELAND SHOWS – SEPT

Couple of big shows coming up in September!! First is on the 8th at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. Second is in my hometown of Perth at the Concert Hall a week later, on the 15th. I’m really excited to A) be back at the finest venue in Yorkshire and B) bring the band to my home-town for the first time!! Ticket links in the gigs page.

That’s all for now folks. I guess there was some news after all. Be good and hope to see you at a show soon x

Howdy gang!! Time for an update methinks…

Graceland Tour-April…

Last month we took our Graceland show out and about for a run of dates and had such a lovely time to boot in Kendal, Grantham, Stockton, Bury, Sheffield, Pocklington, Clitheroe and Barton on Humber 🙂 Big thanks to everyone who came out to watch us! Here’s a spanking new Promo Video for the show;

Later this month sees the return of my Folk Club at The Mill in Stillington 🙂 I’m really looking forward to being back in the outdoor cafe and hosting these nights through May-August. I’ve some fantastic headliners to announce in the next few weeks too! The first Folk Club is on the 26th May. Tickets available from my GIGS page 🙂
