Today I had the great privilege of sharing my testimony and music at the Living Oasis book shop , formally Wesley Owen, in Manchester. It was the first, of hopefully many, events held in the basement which has been transformed into a mini venue complete with comfortable sofas, chairs, giant pillows, stage, and lights. I [...]

It’s been a long 2 weeks.  The first of the 2 was very lonely as my family left me home alone to visit Granny Macleod on the Isle of Lewis.  I had lots to do to keep me out of trouble.  Wednesday to Saturday, both this week and last, I played at Charlotte Chapel in [...]

Last weekend was the first time I had been abroad from my family.  I really missed them when I traveled to Berlin for a weekend of concerts, meeting friends, and seeing the great country that is Germany, again. There are many things I love about Berlin.  The public transport is brilliant.  Considering I had been [...]

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks.  I’ve been getting in touch with various churches, as have my manager and lovely wife, and asking if I can share my story and music.  It’s not been the most successful endeavour.  Unlike the secular circuit, looking for Christian gigs is quite tough.  One of the main questions [...]

Tonight was a great and interesting night. I got offered a support slot by a friend a while ago and tonight was the night of the gig. It worked out really well as it was my first BIG church gig. It was at Carrubers Christian Centre in Edinburgh; a beautiful church on the Royal Mile. [...]

Once again I crossed the water to mainland Europe to compete in the Troubadour competition in Berlin.  This time it was the final and boy was it a night to remember!  Berlin never ceases to amaze me.  The people here are simply wonderful.  I had to stop and ask directions to get to the Troubadour [...]

  This is a little later than I wanted to write.  I’ve been oober busy with recording, designing, college, weddings, and rehearsals.  But now that  I have some free time at 01:56am in the morning, I thought I should update my blog.  The Troubadour gig was fantastic.  The venue was the very cool Schlotts Jazz [...]

SprattonWell well!  Spratton turned out to be a great experience all round.  Not only were we made to feel very welcome, we won the meat raffle on the first night (and enjoyed a massive pork roast on the Saturday), the prize raffle the next night (Frankie Boyle DVD), and the Gig went really well too.

With the addition of Carleko and a few other Spratton residents, some guitar tune ups, and a whole load of arranging for the evening, we are set to go.   I must say I am looking forward to this.  I met some of the Spratton Folk Festival committee last night so it should prove to be [...]
