I have been asked to play a couple of festivals this year…

First is the Summer Sundae at Leicester – be sure to buy your ticket and come to see me about just after lunch time…The same day I have to speed off to get to the Woolfire festival near Winchester to rock the shit out of their second stage – I’ll be one of the non-Winchester acts I suppose.

Over the August bank holiday weekend I will be playing at the Electric Elephant festivities in Petrcane, Croatia. I was up in Manchester the other weekend to show the organisers what they have let themselves in for letting me play – The same guys run a bar in Chorlton called Electrik. I’d recommend you pop in and have some sausage and mash.

In Septicmember I am playing at End of the Road festival again. Good times are to be had once more – the line-up is once again pretty swell, thanks to the efforts of the ever delightful Simon and Sofia. Bloody top-notch.

After that you should get down to the ICA on Sept 24th – I’m heading a night of great social import. Me and my show. Plus some atmospheric soundscapes from voice and classical guitars by way of Twi the Humble Feather.

In the meantime I’m recording some shit in the studio and that is going to be some good shit right there. Shit yeah!

Dear All,

I have returned from a jaunt in Scotland, and am taking this opportuntiy to reflect on the past week or so.

I’ll start at the Blank Tape Spillage Fete. I should have reminded everyone about it, but you may have read in the paper or whatnot… Anyways – they have packed it all up now but we had a closing gig for the exhibition on the 11th April and it was real nice. Thanks to all the peebles who came to see, and for those who then got dragged into a folk dance upsatirs – happy times!

Peel, pith and juicy bits.

After this I had a little restification and nipped up to Scotland for to be part of the Behaviour festival at The Arches in Glasgae: they mixed some bits of me into the trailer (link above) – looks good. It was good – being scutinised by a serious theatre audience.

Fence Home Game

From Glasgow we cadged a lift from the very lovely Andy and Denise. Their first Home Game too. We don’t know them, they were just going the same way. I reccommend you say hello if you see them and buy them a drink for their kindness.

Eider, redshank, oystercatcher, curlew, cormorant.

Anstruther is a lovely place. We ate at the world famous ‘Fish Bar’. Strolled on the beach. And I played a couple of shows for the lovely Fence boys. In Anstruther Town Hall, with a massive amount of feedback and unusually loud drum machine bursts, what silliness. In Hew Scott Hall a more sedate affair with a little piano.

The sun came out all bright and lovely on Sunday as we were leaving. Was nice to have a relaxing and comfortable festival experience. Thanks Johnny and James for inviting me.
