Dear [email], hello and welcome!
I hope you and yours are well. I've been keeping busy teaching and keeping the workshops vibrant, and performing one or two surprise gigs, most notably shows with Walter Trout in Holmfirth, and Focus in Sheffield. Both were truly fantastic gigs, loved 'em lots!! Anyway, please do rab your diary - I have an interesting run of live concerts coming soon, with one or two bar gigs chucked in to 'keep the hand in', and as usual I've added one or two other interesting things to the newsletter. And what's that coming over the hill, is it the Summer!! Let's hope so ...
Forthcoming Diary Dates: 13 gigs; 5 open mic events; 7 songwriting workshops and 1 demonstration event! Starting with a hotel bar jolly in The Lakes this weekend, taking in shows with Wishbone Ash, The Zombies and Kris Drever, and venturing out to venues and theatres such as Blackpool Tower, Leeds City Varieties, Birkenhead Pacific Rd, Bury Met Theatre and Worden Arts Centre.
Stereo Graffiti News: Check this for a brief run-down of what's happening out in Stereo Graffiti World. We've got a little Radio Show news, The Gig Cartel promoting gigs from Manchester and Liverpool down to Cornwall, what';s on at The Bakers and Bulls Head, The Globe and a little something from our other sites.
looking forward to seeing you soon,
nice one,
