Back up to the Northern lands..
The weekend was awesome, a big old campfire in a field, plenty of beers and I was surrounded by some really good friends I'd met on tour in France, we even managed to get a couple of days out in the surf which was amazing! The gig at The Swan was a perfect Sunday session, a nice way to round off a bit of a heavy weekend..we had fresh seafood caught that morning on one of the best BBQs I've had all summer. A big thanks to all the guys at The Swan for looking after us and to Honey Fungus for getting me there in the first place!
So from the South West of Wales, back to Cardiff and then on to Norfolk for a bit of a home coming gig! I try and get back every year to play in Wells and some old friends were there to cheer me on so it was the perfect way to end the summer. Lots of dancing, cheering and signing CDs ( Yes I even have my very own sharpie now..) loved every minute of it, thanks to all who made it down to the Cornerhouse.
Over 1,500 miles travelled, more than 30 gigs played, many happy new album owners and a slight addiction to Welsh cakes and the summer tour has just about finished. The last few weeks have been amazing thank you so much to everyone who has put me up for a night or two, bought a CD stopped and had a few drinks. I'll be back next summer with another tour and hopefully a new album...watch this space..
So for now I have a few gigs up in York and a couple of things on the boil in Leeds as well. I'm getting on with writing a new album (keep your eyes posted for acoustic demos coming soon..) and I'm off on tour in France in December which I'll keep you up to date with if just for the photos if nothing else, it's verrry easy to take pretty pictures in the alps!
So it doesn't stop here I'll just change countries for a while, now where did I leave that French phrase book..
