Well despite our rather disappointing summer weather, musically it has been great.  I have been very busy with Folk Club and Festival performances both in the UK and abroad which included two wonderful trips to Canada and Spain.

In July I had the privilege of performing at the Mariposa Folk Festival in Orillia, Ontario, Canada. Mariposa is one of the largest Folk Music Festivals in Canada and where I got to perform alongside Don McLean and Gordon Lightfoot.  For me, the highlight of the trip was in meeting McLean and having the opportunity to thank him personally for all those great songs he wrote (Vincent and American Pie to name a couple) which I used to sing when a young guitarist in my teens.  As a bonus, I also got to perform to Don’s audience of over 8,500 people.  I can honestly say without doubt that the trip was one of those magical memories which will always stay with me. The audiences were just fantastic.

Last month I performed at the English Folk Club near Alicante, Spain and have been re-booked to appear there in October next year.  This unique new Folk Club is  expertly run by Carol and Ian Smith (formerly of Broadstairs, Kent), a lovely venue at Mono's Bar, Cabo Roig.  Great atmosphere all round and what an audience!  They really joined in with the songs enthusiastically and were very appreciative indeed.  I can't wait to go back.

New CD

My new offering on Fellside ‘Song Singer’ (FECD206) was released in July.  This, my eighth solo album is a 15 track collection of both traditional and contemporary songs, some of them have been given to me by friends and some have been there in my song collection for several years but I had never recorded them until now. ‘Song Singer’ may be purchased by mail order form or at www.fellside.com alternatively you may use a mail order form which will be forwarded to you soon.

If you, your family and friends can come along to any of the live dates it will be great to see you.
