Massive thank you to Nick Parker Music for saving the day and allowing me to use his beautiful Patrick James Eggle Guitar for these 2 shows! Even if playing his guitar terrifies me to my very soul!
Big thank you to Mexican Dave, who smashed it, for being ace & joining me on a trip to Cornwall
My voice didn't quite make the whole show in the way I feared, but it just means I'll have to go back and do it all again!
However, my voice did way better than my guitar, which decided to break before the start of Friday's 1st show of 2026! Woo!
WHAT A GREAT TWO SHOWS TO START 2026!
-------------------------------------
Massive thanks to J.R and Ell for having me down at my first show at The Barn And Ell’s Bar this weekend! I loved it! What an amazing venue! And I got to hang out with friends old and new! And dogs and cats! Alright, bonus!
OH!
And it’s also Bandcamp Friday today!
I’m currently recording album 3! So any merch sales are hugely welcome and goes directly to making it happen! There’s still bundles available!

A WEEK TO GO!
A week today I’ll finally play my first two shows of 2026!
It feels like an absolute LIFETIME since I was on stage!
* Fri March 6th - Swindon - The Hop - Supporting my magical Nick Parker Music and Flo Parker Bombosch
Still a couple of 🎟️ left!
This year I went for the classic approach of not applying to any festivals & then still feeling an incredible sadness when I see the line-ups. Like a fool.
Massive thank you to James Willcocks for reaching out to me to play! What a hero!

I think I slightly underestimated how much it costs to put together, record & release an album! Especially given that my life has totally changed since the last album and the three of us are now a wonderful little family! Release an album? In this economy?
So thank you! We shall get there together!
Massive thank you to everyone who picked up one of the deals I put out on Bandcamp Friday!
It’s very much appreciated!
Another Show?!
Your eyes do not deceive you!
On Match 7th I’ll heading to play my first show at The Barn And Ell’s Bar! And I’m bringing Mexican Dave along for the ride too!
I’ve heard many great things about the barn and I can’t wait to play!

I've been a little bit quiet...
Well I'm back! (In a bit!)
I've got January & February off this year to work on the NEW ALBUM (*GASP!*), more about that later!
Very pleased to let you know my first show of 2026 will be supporting my old pal Nick Parker at The Hop Inn in Swindon on Fri 6th March!
Here’s my 2nd video from my Cellar NinetyTwo session!
“Beast Of Bedlam” from my upcoming album!
Some of you know the story behind this song, some might not. I’ll likely elaborate when the album comes out this year!
But for now, I hope you enjoy this live solo version!

Recommendations!
Has anyone got any guitar luthier recommendations for Wiltshire and surrounding areas?
In need of a set up for my guitar!
First one to say Lex Luthier loses…
Not against it. Sounds like Airplane.
Keep an eye out for my first Cellar 92 video, which drops today!
100%. This please
Someone should be employed by GWR to smack people over the head with a rolled up newspaper if they talk in the quiet carriage.
Merry Christmas friends!
Have yourselves a spectacular day!
Much festive love,

Biggest of thank you to Gaz Brookfield and The Company Of Thieves, (who were on fire that night), for having me! Always a great privilege & very much appreciated. Big love.
Now I’ll be disappearing from playing live for a bit to finish album 3! But then you never know what might crop up…
