Bohemia Restaurant

On Saturday 23rd of October I'll be playing a mix of orginals and covers at Bohemia in Selly Oak, Birmingham, between 7.30pm and 10.30pm

Artsfest

What a fantastic event Artsfest was, I was really impressed with the organisation and talent on show. I performed on the Saturday at The Yardbird, and was fortunate enough to have a big and enthusiastic crowd.

Over the weekend I enjoyed the CBSO in Centenary Square along with some very impressive fireworks, Playing Django at The Town Hall, some Dance at The Symphony Hall, some Opera in The Yardbird, Fuzzbox and Arcadian Kicks on The Kerrang Stage, some really excellent Reggae in Chamberlain Square.

Walking along new street stopping at the various stalls was good fun as well.

Very much looking forward to next year.

Fantastc night at the tower of  song on Friday. Becky Rose and Brains for Breakfast were fabulous, and Matty Pinfield and Mick Jeynes did a great job. Videos and all sorts to follow.

Artsfest

Birmingham Artsfest is this weekend, there's a huge programme of Arts around the city centre, and it's all free!

My little bit of it happens at The Yardbird on Saturday, have a look at the programme (and it is Saturday the 11th, not Friday as it says on the site)

I'll also be joining the wonderful people from the Crossroads Blues Club at some point on Saturday as they man their stall on New Street. I'm not certain where it will be, but follow the sound of the delta and you should find it ok....

I'm hoping to see as much as possible over the weekend as part of my evaluation of all things cultural in Birmingham.

Great night at the Tower of Song last Friday, Becky Rose and Brains For Breakfast were excellent and Matty and Mick played great.

A big thanks to all the players, Lee for his help with the sound desk, Jess for doing the hat, Steve and Em for looking after the Camera, and John at the Tower for all his help.

And of course massive lovely warm thank yous to the audience, the biggest we've had at one of these nights.

Videos and all sorts to follow.

Tower of Song tomorrow

Tomorrow night, Friday the 3rd of September I'll be introducing my new band featuring Matty Pinfield and Mick Jeynes. The band will be playing the EP Twenty Two in it's entirety, as well as some covers by my biggest influences and some rocky blues tracks.

I'll also be joined by two excellent singer songwriters, Becky Rose and Brains for Breakfast.

The doors open at 8.45pm and the music starts at around 9pm.

Depending on how things go, I'm also hoping to play 1 or 2 or 3 brand new tracks that haven't been heard at a gig yet.

The gig is free entry (we will pass the hat around during the evening)
