Iceland sprung another leak...

I'm just back from another fantastic week in Norway. This time I played shows at Meieriet - a really cool studenty venue in Sogndal. A Friday night - 11pm start - the place packed out and everyone quiet as mice! Seriously, I was really humbled by the enthusiasm of the audience. Thanks to those who showed up, bought CDs and gave me the best gig of the year I think, so-far.

The next nightI went up into the mountains - past the longest and deepeds Fjord in the world! I played a gig at Turtagro Hotel in Jotenheimen to a mix of hotel residents and locals. What an incredible place.

I think it was at this point that I decide to name this tour my 'Rolls Royce' tour... thanks to all the luxury hotels and dinners and my my, the breakfasts I encountered! Even the cross-country coaches were fit for royalty! I was pretty impressed by my flights with BMI too - its really nice when you have the option to include your musical instrument in with your luggage allowance. It really annoys me when I have to fork out to take my guitar abroad! - free drink and a sarnie on the plane too. Rolls bloody Royce!  

Back at home, having been slightly jossled by the ash-cloud, I sat down at my computer and confirmed a number of smashing summer gigs - so please take a look at my list...

I played a great gig at The Albatross in Wells on Saturday - thanks to everyone who came along and listened so intently. On Saturday night I popped along to what has swiftly become by favourite club-night - the singer-songwriters night at the CB2. Its put together by Dave Streatfield and John Meed who are quite possibly the coolest guys in the game. I love this night! Songs and Friends, very simply.
