Hunter Muskett have just completed their customary Spring tour without getting lost, forgetting the set lists or breaking strings although there was an unfortunate and unforeseen episode with a glockenspiel in the midlands. Thankfully we were able to provide cover with an impromptu version of Cliff's "Summer Holiday". If you have yet to experience a live band performance, come prepared ...

 

You might also have a look to see if any of my upcoming solo gigs are within striking distance - it's always a lovely surprise to recognise people in the audience whom I've met before on a different occasion.

​

On the recording front, the band's last album Roll On is continuing to get great reviews, Radio 2 plays and is selling well at venues and on line - all very exciting. My follow up to Falling More Slowly, the solo project, is now mixed  and I was hoping it would be ready for the Spring but long time producer, John Ellis, is out on tour so I'm doing my best to remain patient. The retrospective album of reimagined older songs from my back catalogue still awaits further attention so it's now more likely to be pushed back until later in the year.

​

Do have a look at the gig schedule for the Autumn and next year - again I shall be all over the UK so whether I'm on my own or with the band, do drop by to say hello.

 

On a more sombre note, very sad to hear the news about Wizz Jones just two days after his 86th birthday: a true pioneer and unsung hero of the folk revival and over the succeeding decades. We would often encounter Wizz at various service stations on our respective travels to and from gigs and he was always a favourite at Islington Folk Club returning year after year. Always unpretentious and self effacing, he will be hugely missed.

​

And in the meantime, all the very best to everyone for the year ahead and thanks again for continuing to take an interest in my dear old songs - it really is appreciated.

​

Take care

​
