So, just back from am amazing weekend on the south coast. Not brave enough to get out back on those big waves yet... but but some gorgeous waves were mine as well as the traditional sunburned chin. I've made 'The Coast' by Courtyard Hounds my summer anthem. Funny, I could've sworn this was Sheryl Crow the first time I heard this on the radio- but as usual I was wrong. Anyway here it is:-



The album sounds pretty nifty - thank you Spotify 

Kings Lynn on 25th July not happening. Acoustic Kitchen as a club-night is unfortunately no more I'm afraid. I'm really sorry if anyone from the west (of Norfolk that is) was hoping to come to that one. No plans for a gig that way at all as I'm just not familiar with any venues or promoters.
Any ideas send them this way. 


sorry about that x

sadly not any more... but thanks for the compliment!

What a busy week. Boudicca's Feast at Dragon Hall was a really great way to spend the day capped off by seeing the man, the legen, Mr Robert Cray and his band perform at the Theatre Royal later that evening. I was pretty much brought up to the soundtrack of 'don't be afraid of the dark' so it was totally surreal hearing 'that voice' coming from an actual person rather than a CD (or tape!) player.

Monday night I ended up being drafted in to play at Norwich Arts Centre at a sold-outer for Eve Selis. This was awesome. Fantastic gig - showmanship like I've never seen.

Tuesday was Wymondham Arts Festival. Totally unplugged gig in the old arts forum building with excellent acoustics and with some wicked poetry too from local students.

Wednesday night I had the pleasure  of seeing the lovely Stephanie Lambring play at a house concert including a set from my favourite folk-americana outfit The Proposition . www.theproposition.co.uk - check out their site - new single out soon.

Stephanie played some lovely songs of her own, but I'm particularly grateful to her for introducing me to this one:-

its not the original, but I do love Linda Ronstadt.

I'd been looking forward to Folk and Blues on the HIll at Hindringham ever since it was booked into the diary at the beginning of the year. And it did not disappoint. Along with the Wymondham gig and the house concerts, I've got to love all the wonderful people that turn out to see live music night after night, they (you?) really are keeping the scene alive and making it possible for people like me to do what we do best. The sound set up at St. Martins was wonderful - it was just like playing unplugged - but amplified in such a smooth unintrusive way as was necessary this time as the church building as quite big. I'm hoping to be along in 2 weeks time to see Eddie Martin - maybe see you there too.

Its Newport Pagnell Carnival on Saturday and a set at Esquires in Bedford then I'm having week off. Phew. Heading dwon to Devon for a water-sports infused holiday with the Norfolk Surf Girls! Back in full force soon x
