I am sometimes asked why I don't put a list of all my forthcoming gigs on the web-site. Well.... It isn't because I don't want to see you at them, but many of them are private functions. If you would like me to sing, play or talk to your club, organisation or house concert please do get in touch. Failing that you can often find me at one of the excellent East Anglian folk music sessions. These sessions include: The Greyhound, Flempton, Suffolk(1st Tuesdays) and The Bull, Woolpit, Suffolk (2nd Wednesdays)

Some recent adventures Wayland Community Radio I was privileged to play 'on air' on five occasions. I was also a guest presenter on the show. Sadly, Wayland Radio is off air at the moment. However, the producers of the folk programme have exciting plans to run an Internet folk programme. More details can be found here. Radio Kidnappers is another excellent radio station. Based in New Zealand, it hosts a fine folk music programme. It is well worth working out the time difference to listen in! RWSfm serves the Bury St. Edmunds area and has an accomplished folk programme with a knowledgeable presenter. BCB radio is the community radio satation for Bradford and, among other excellent programmes, has a well-respected folk programme with a presenter steeped in folk music! Pig's Ear Folk Ale It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Grant Rule, one of the mainsprings behind the Folk Ale. I have known Grant for many years. He had an infectious appetite for all life had to offer and was not only a stalwart of the Croydon Folksong Club for many years, but also a much respected IT expert, sailor, archer and historian. Sue and Grant have done wonders for the world of folk between them and many people will know of Grant through the work of Hamfisted, Pig's Ear and the Pig's Ear Folk Ale in Kent. I am proud and privileged to have been a friend of his, deeply saddened by his passing yet take comfort from the fact that he died doing something he loved.
CDs My latest CD "Many 1000 Miles behind us" is now available. So far it has been aired on Wayland Radio (Norfolk), RSWfm (Suffolk), BCB Radio (Bradford), Bishop 105.9 FM (Bishop Aukland), WFDU (USA), BBC Radio Shropshire(UK) and Radio Kidnappers (New Zealand). I am also featured on "Folk Miscellany 2". If you would like copies, catch me at a performance or send me an e-mail! "In From the Cold" is nearly sold out, so if you want one.... Mudcat instigated a project to celebrate their first 15 years by recording a new selection of MudCat CDs featuring tracks from members. I am honoured to have been involved in this project. The CDs launched on14th November 2011 at Herga Folk Club (for this country) and I am on the one entitled 'Stone'. |
