Hey! I’m playing in Haworth Park, Hull, this Saturday 3rd May — then at Ripon Beer Festival, Ripon Cathedral, on bank holiday Monday 5th May. Check out my myspace page for more details on these two events!

After that - Kro Bar, Manchester on 10th May with Jon Gomm is going to be a great gig I think - more details on that soon! And straight after that, off to New York and Atlanta, for the Mahoneyfest - can’t wait!

Wow this is going to be an interesting gig. Can’t believe it’s only 3 months till the Manchester International Festival comes round again…

I’m playing in a pirate-themed bar on Friday, 11th January… It’s the Hark to Towler in Tottington. Drinks are pretty cheap, and it’s free entry… always a good night there!

Check out their (colourful!) website for details: http://www.hark2towler.co.uk/ It’s dead easy to get from Manchester to the bar by public transport too!

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone - Happy new year!

There’s a new open mic (changed from a jam night) at Revise Bar in Chorlton, Manchester:

CHORLTON OPEN MIC
EVERY SUNDAY 2-5 PM
AT THE REVISE BAR CHORLTON
559 Wilbraham Road, Chorlton

(See other open mic nights happening in Manchester)

Hey - just a heads-up for all the musicians out there. EXR, who run a lot of gigs in Manchester, run a weekly jam session at the Lounge Bar, Wilbraham Road, Chorlton.

The session is acoustic - they have congas, djembes, bongos, tambourines etc set up as well as a bass amp and a good PA/mics etc. They’re also looking to get a good percussion section together - anyone can join in. Also acoustic artists and bands are welcome to come and do a short set/jam.

EXR are running an acoustic competition at the same time. For more details on all this see: http://exr.org.uk/

Hi everyone
