Just arrived back from a busy week of travelling to play at two superb festivals – Burnley Blues and the Musician Blues Festival in Leicester. Having grown up in Burnley it’s always fun to head back there and see old friends. I even managed to pop to my favourite old guitar shop and pick up […]

A lovely chap called Colin Randall has written a nice review of last weekend’s acoustic session at Ain’t Nothin’ But. I remember meeting him briefly during the course of the evening and chatting to him about the venue and the quality of music on offer. He had lots of positive things to say about the […]
