Despite the off-putting stress and extreme social embarassment of an unsilencable car alarm, I enjoyed playing at the Acoustic Routes venue in CB2.

Two hours of international music.

Obviously, it is a very long way from Stamford!! I must have got lost!

Apologies for the delay in updating the site, there have been some technical and administrative hitches which have now been sorted out

Cambridge was excellent - weather amazing. Thanks to all of you who met up with me - it was good to see you again.

Currently working on some backing tracks for a CD project

Hoping to upgrade the site soon to allow video and audio sound clips

I would appreciate your feedback on this development

My apologies for the long gap. Have lost a bit of momentum but have picked up the pace again. Have just got back from the Barcelona area and have stepped up a gear.

Since we last spoke:-

• Have been in touch with Ted Hastings who reminded me of a large chunk of history about the days in Stirling I omitted from the history section. Thanks Ted (and Karmanie)
• Have entered a songwriting competition - one song and one instrumental inspired by the wild Catalan Coast.
• Have organised to have a CD made by the end of this year
• Have plans to make sound and video clips available on an upgraded version of this site
• Have got tickets for Stamford and Cambridge (is it really that time already?). Alison and Elaine - don't forget the first aid kit!
• Have organised a small recording studio and practice room -(its getting serious now)

Apolgies to the organisers of the Haslemere and Raunds Festivals - I was unable to make it due to competing committments - I hope things went well. Thanks for the invitations

After a few weeks of work, a new look has been launched for my website. I've kept much of the information from the old site and have added a diary of events I will update on a regular basis. On top of this, I will be adding a rich amount of information on events, instruments, stories and performances -- past and future -- so be sure to come back for regular updates.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden death of my old schoolfriend and very first band member and duo partner Johnny Cunningham. My thoughts are with his brother Phil and family.
