Absolutely thrilled to be be supporting TV Smith, founder member and singer-songwriter for 70’s Punk Rock band, The Adverts, at The Railway Roots Night, Railway Inn, Hove on Thurs 7th Jan 2016.

I played guitars, mandolin and provided some backing vocals on some of TV Smith’s solo albums in the 1990’s, namely ‘March of the Giants’, ‘In the Arms of My Enemy’, ‘Not a Bad Day’ and I am very honoured to be on the same bill as TV, whose songs embody the original spirit of punk rock. Also on the bill is political folk songster, Jon Mason.

This will be my first gig of the year and I’ll be teaming up with fiddle player, Simon Yapp, who played on my ‘How That Dust Jumps’ album.

I was joined by fiddle player and vocalist, Simon Yapp, at the Cambridge Folk Club gig on Friday 4th Dec 2015. We played songs from the ‘Helicopter’ EP and ‘How That Dust Jumps’ album and we had a fantastic time. Thank you to Marion, Les, Howard and all at Cambridge Folk Club for making us feel so welcome.

My 51st gig of 2015 will be at the legendary Cambridge Folk Club on Fri 4th Dec 2015 8pm. Joining me will be fiddle player and vocalist, Simon Yapp, who played on the ‘How That Dust Jumps’ album. Really looking forward to it : D
