Covers or Originals – you choose!
Exciting news people! My old friend Les "Fruitbat" Carter, formerly of the legendary Carter USM, and currently of the mighty Abdoujaparov, has asked me to support Abdou at their Chester gig on May 5th at The Saddle Inn. I'm a bit scared, I'll be playing a set of my originals and it'll be the first time in a long time, but as Les is largely the reason I began writing and releasing music I could hardly say no!
I'll post ticket details as and when I get them but would be great to see you there.
If you'd like to hear me play other people's songs for free though I'm back at the Chester Market on Saturday April 29th and on Friday May 26th xx
Live at Cornerhouse this Friday 24th March
I'm back at Cornerhouse this Friday 24th March for a solo outing, back there in June with Echochamber
Happy New Year – more gigs to come…
Happy New Year! Due to a late notice cancellation I'm back at Chester Market tomorrow night, Friday 13th Jan. There should be more dates to follow too.
In other news Echochamber, the acoustic duo I'm in has now become a trio and we played our first gig just before Christmas. It was loads of fun and we're looking forward to more this year. We've only got one gig booked at the moment in June at Cornerhouse but we'll get practicing and hopefully book more.
LIVE at New Chester Market!
I'm very excited to say that I'll be playing at the New Chester Market on Friday 11th November
If that wasn't exciting enough I'm happy to say that I'll also be playing there on Friday November 25th, Saturday December 3rd and Saturday December 17th!
I popped in there for the first time the other day and it looks incredible! Quite apart from the beautiful setting and exceptional food and drink offerings, there is now a proper PA and stage which I will be stage-diving off as often as I can!
Upcoming gigs
I have a couple more gigs coming up, on Friday 8th July I'm back at Chester Market for Foodie Fridays, and on Saturday July 16th I'm back at Cornerhouse
Living For The Short Term – the making of!
I've made a video about how I use open source software to record and mix my songs. This is how I made Living For The Short Term which is released to all streaming services from Monday 20th December 2021
New Single “Drops” 2 weeks today!
My new song, "Living For The Short Term" will be released to streaming services from December 20th, you can presave it here
New Song!!
Today sees the release of my latest single "Living For The Short Term" - it is available on Bandcamp immediately but won't be released to streaming services until late December. To be honest if I could get away with not putting it on streaming services I would because they're absolute bandits doing immeasurable damage to the music industry, but we are where we are.
Gigs! Gigs! Gigs!
It is written that in the "Before Time" the people would gather together in special places to sing the songs of their people - and it's happening again!
- September 18th - Chester Market I'm back at Chester's fantastic indoor market this Saturday, between 6 and 9pm playing an eclectic mix of acoustic covers and original songs. As much as I can fit in around stuffing my face with all the amazing food.
- October 2nd - Chester Market Again
- October 8th - Echochamber - Cornerhouse It's been a very long time since my friend Rich White and I put together our acoustic duo Echochamber, but we've been practicing hard and are looking forward to a fun night of multi-instrumental goodness at Cornerhouse
