This night was my 3rd time to come and perform at Gingillo. The audience and the place was different from past concerts. There was much focus and enthusiasm from the audience for the music which made a difference. As I was waiting to start people would come to me and say. Hey I have been recommended to see you from my friend so I came down. This was a conversation that I had 5 or 6 times and it really made the thought of past visits feel worth while.

My set was split into 2 only because I managed to break strings on both guitars in quick succession. So a pause to change things took place. In the break there was a que of people lining to buy discs and I really begun to feel the welcome vibes from the locals.

All in all a great night on the road. I slept in the tour van outside the venue and was only woken once by passing police blasting out their siren. The nights are getting colder but at this time I am ok.

We will see what happens as I drive north through Switzerland.

0 Rome Concert with Zero Call

In 2012 I collaborated with Italian band ZERO CALL

We made this song:

On 25th October we performed together in Rome when I was there as guest vocalist. This was the only time to perform this song live in 2014.

The Venue was called Rialto and it was a former squat that had been turned into a unique and very cool club.

Sharing the stage again with Zero Call was a joy as we had performed together only 5 times previously. Once in London and all the other times in Italy.

Onstage with Andrea Possiedi of Zero Call

Also for me it was a rare chance to perform without a guitar. I felt naked without something to hide5 behind.

But through and through the experience was a wonderful and positive one.

My thanks to Zero Call to have me as their guest.

0 More Swiss Dates Announced

It gives me great pleasure to be able to announce the addition of 2 shows to the Swiss leg of the European tour.

Aswell as the concerts already announced in Zurich and Geneva. There will be an additional show in the city of Zurich, as well as a concert in the mountain town of Saanen.

The first concert will take place in Geneva on November 6th.

This is a part of a European tour that has been rolling since June. The tour began in the UK and continued through Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Czech Rep, Austria & Italy. There are concerts in Switzerland, France & a return to Germany left to be played before the UK in late November.

Here’s a recording of a new tune live earlier in the tour:
