Coast FM interview

Recently, I very much enjoyed appearing on Ian Semple’s Saturday lunchtime show. I hope that his listeners didn’t find so much Harley chat and music too awful!

More on the music (but not so much of the chat) here in due course. 🙂

Gigging in the Midlands

Photos of Don Mac and myself at the West Malvern Social Club a week ago. Our first set together in about 30 years! A couple of days later we gigged at the No. 8 Community Arts Centre in Pershore – which is a great venue – but I don’t have any pictures from that.

Anyway, it was great to play together again, and I hope we’ll get to do so again before too long.

CD review for Folking.com – Martin Barre

[Stop press: it appears that folking.com were asked to hold back on the review till 17th August 2018, so it was temporarily unavailable. Back now…]

Martin Barre, the ace guitarist also known as a looooonnnnngggggg serving member of Jethro Tull, and no mean songwriter, it turns out.

Folking.com review: Yves Lambert Trio

Yves Lambert is an important figure in Québécois traditional circles, and works with two other very fine musicians in this trio.

“…this combination of muscular vocals, adventurous material, and fine musicianship is certainly going to keep my ears and toes happy for a while.”
