As the year dawns  – chilly at home, ominous abroad  –  I’d like to send all my friends in our little world of music, whether they be players or listeners, my very best wishes for the coming year.

Times are tough, but that’s when music is most needed and appreciated.

I’m looking forward to getting out on the road soon, with some interesting gigs ahead. I have several shows which are a double-header with the hilarious and heartbreaking songwriter from New Zealand Kath Tait, and will also be touring my one-man show Old Enough To Know Better.

Because it’s personal , even confessional, the show has changed with me. Its vibe and message, not to mention the selection of songs, is quite different from how they were when I started performing the show two or three years ago. I feel it’s getting better – more nuanced – but of course that’s for others to judge.

In March and April, I shall be taking the show on a little tour of the midlands, thanks to the promoters Live and Local. Details of all my shows are on the gigs page.

And, I’m happy to say, songs are still now and then emerging and making it into the rough, tough outside world. You can find a few that are yet to be recorded on my Facebook page. Themes range from crocodiles to God….

Here’s to 2026! May it – and we – prove all the doomsayers wrong!

I’ll hope to see you at one of my gigs during the year.
