Here's The Guardian review from 18 Nov of the Pavlov's Cat album "At The Races". I played acoustic bass, fretless electric bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin and violin on the album.  

Here I am jamming with Henry Priestman on his song The Coolest Dance at James Hibbins' wonderful gig
Acousticity in Colchester on 16 Oct 2010. Also joining in at the last minute is Darren Tansley on Cajon.

NEW ALBUM

CAMBRIDGE FOLK FESTIVAL
It was a busy festival for me in 2008. On Thursday I did a live interview and performance on 12 string guitar from the festival site for the Sue Marchant show on BBC regional radio. On Saturday I ran the Acoustic Routes session in the Club Tent. One of the acts booked by the festival cancelled at 5 minutes notice so I had to fill in by playing a short solo set on the mandolin. Later I played acoustic bass with both The Mannish Boys and Pavlov's Cat.
OCT 2007 CD REISSUE
My 1988 album Home Town has been remastered and is now available on cd for the first time.

SEPT 2007 - RADIO AIRPLAY
On Tuesday 4 Sept I was Sue Marchant's studio guest on her BBC Eastern Counties Radio show. She played 2 tracks from the new cd and I performed one song live.

On Sunday 9 Sept I performed live on Cambridge 209 Radio as a guest of Nik Shelton.

MAY 2006 - NEW ALBUM
The new album is finally here. It's taken a lot longer than I thought it would but I think it was worth it. It's called "Notes In The Margin" and features 16 new songs with backing vocals from Lisa Fitzgibbon and Liz Simcock. Papa Sam makes another appearance on one of my albums playing djembe and percussion as well as singing on a couple of tracks. There are samples on the albums page.




CHARITY CD

My track "Beneath The Waves" is included on a charity CD alongside some of the big names from the folk world to raise money for Cromer Lifeboat.

RUSSIAN CD RELEASE

The Vladimir Visotsky track, "Paradise Apples", from the "Days Yet To Come" album has been included on a CD release by the Vladimir Visotsky State Center in Russia. It is a compilation of his songs performed in all major European languages by different artists. At an international conference on Visotsky in Moscow, November 2000, my collaboration with George Tokarev was named as the best track on the album.

POLISH MUSEUM ASKS FOR CD

The Vladimir Vysotsky Museum in Poland have requested two copies of the Days Yet To Come album which includes "Paradise Apples" by Vysotsky. The CDs will be available for visitors to listen to.
