UK Festival Dates

Thursday July 01, 2010

I'm pleased to be able to confirm that I will be appearing at a handful of selected shows in the UK in the coming days.

Full details are available by following the links on the website home page, but these are the times and places:

• July 7th - I will be performing a lunch time show in the Leadenhall Market in the City Of London as part of a week-long series of events for the Americana Festival being held there. I will be performing some acoustic-based 'Big Dog 3' style songs with Danny White on bass (ex-Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers) and Paul Griffith (Grifter) on drums, who has appeared on countless albums by the likes of John Prine and Carlene Carter.
• July 7th - In the evening I will be sitting in for a few songs as a guest of Nashville's Last Train Home at Leytonstone in East London.  The band are led by Eric Brace, and Danny White and Paul Griffith are part of the band.
• July 8th - I am playing a special one-off intimate gig at Porters Coffee House in Tynemouth, in North East England. The show will feature local artists Celia Bryce (Katy Freeway) and Danny Holmes (Diesel Therapy) and expect a few more surprise guests to drop in!
• July 10th - The finale of the Leadenhall Americana Festival in the City Of London.  I will be again playing with Danny and Paul in a full electric 'BD3' set.

Hope to see you all at one of the shows!
