I’m very pleased to be able to share details of the forthcoming tour to promote the launch of ‘Up Here’ in October. There are several other dates to be confirmed and we haven’t even begun to look at UK dates yet. All gigs listed here will be with the new band consisting of myself, Dave…
Up Here
So…. the new album is mixed, mastered and being pressed up as we speak. Unfortunately, budgetary restrictions mean it will not yet be released on vinyl, but CDs and downloads will be available from early October. The cover is a painting by my good friend Florian Mitgutsch and portrays me as a middle aged superhero…
Uwe Schenk Trifft
I was recently invited to appear on a very interesting show called Uwe Schenk Trifft (Uwe Schenk Meets) in Stuttgart. Filmed in front of a live audience in a train shed/theatre, each show takes the form of a chat show/live gig focusing on just one artist. And what an eclectic selection of performers they have…
Live Dates
With the new album all recorded I’m pleased to say a few gigs are starting to come in. Hopefully in most instances I shall be accompanied by a selection of musicians who perform on the new album. First up is a show at the Isle of Arts Festival on the 19th April at the Boathouse…
New Album Finished
Very pleased to say that after a magical week in Studio Humbug (an old water tower on Queen Victoria’s Osborne estate), the new album is pretty much all recorded. We made good time and recorded much more than an album’s worth of material completely from scratch, and we all had much more fun than men…
My Bit For The Olympics
I’ve never been a great fan of the Olympics but this year I’ve found myself already caught up in it’s wake. So despite my disapproval of Union Carbide’s sponsorship (the people behind the Bhopal disasters for which I shaved my head) I already have tickets for several paralympic swimming events to cheer on my superhuman…
April Tour Dates
Using up all the very last scraps of my annual leave, I’ll be once again zig-zagging around Germany and Austria on the wonderful Deutsche Bahn to play my songs to those who’ll listen. The first seven dates will be solo and then in Stuttgart I’ll be joined by my old friend JC Grimshaw and label…
Stick It In Your Ear
The ever industrious Dr Brian Hinton MBE (to give him his full and well deserved title) has taken it upon himself to write a fairly thorough account of what I’ve been up to over the past 44 years and post it up in the superb ‘Stick It In Your Ear’ magazine. If you click on…
Jackie Leven German dates cancelled
It’s with great sadness that I have to announce that the forthcoming German dates that I was scheduled to perform with he great Jackie Leven have had to be cancelled. The legendary Scot has been admitted to hospital, more than this I do not know. I send him all my best wishes and hope he…
Live Launch Dates
Despite being in a severe state of renovation, the current owners of Farringford, Tennyson’s former Island residence, have agreed to allow us to launch the album there on Sunday 18th September. Tickets will be £8.00 and will soon be on sale from Waterstones in Newport and from reception at Farringford 01983 752500. Two days later…
