Latest News

Heavens!! It's nearly Christmas and I haven't written anything for ages!

I'm currently undergoing chemotherapy (eek!) so that's my excuse, but there are still things happening..

So - news of two albums, one 'live' and one collaboration with David Longdon of Big Big Train...

The first one is a new 'Live' album from recordings made at St Barnabus Church in Cambridge in 2016 with the Band of Perfect Strangers and the Ad Hoc Strings.. Gathered together and mixed by Alistair Murphy the WonderCurator and with gorgeous artwork from the lovely Loraine Burgon it will be released in early 2020

Copies of both are now available from my shop. There are only 10 copies of the 3CD set of 'Gathering the Threads' available and only a few more copies of my Autobiography 'An Accidental Musician'

So please go to my shop and I will sign them if you like

Yes!!! I am going to be 70 in 2019 and I really hope you will come and join me in some songs and some readings and some cake!!

I will be joined by my old partner in Trader Horne, Jackie McAuley and his brother Brendan, who will be doing a set and also singing some Trader Horne songs with me within my own set of songs.

It will all be doubly special because 2019 is also the 50th Anniversary of the beginning of Trader Horne !
