It’s good to be back doing gigs again after an enforced break from playing live. It has, however, given me the opportunity to work on some new songs and I’m looking forward to adding them to my repertoire.
I was really pleased, way back in the New Year, that “Long Way Home”, had been chosen in the Top Twenty albums of 2015 by Canada’s folkrootsradio.com – thanks to the lovely Jan Hall for having such great taste. The rise in the number of radio stations playing folk/roots/acoustic music is something to be celebrated. I think that it is particularly pleasing that there are so many locally based stations, manned by people who really love the music and their communities, doing their bit to play a broad range of styles of music and to promote the wealth of talent out there. If you’ve got the chance have a listen to the two shows I have coming up. Keep on keeping on folks.
