Thanks for your reviews and comments on gigs, songs/albums, songbook and website. They now have a page of their own - see Reviews etc. August 2010 I treated myself to another little Martin guitar also. Was second hand and cheap as French Fries in a store in North Carolina and I had the right change in my back pocket to get it. Looks OK too. See how it sounds when I get it plumbed in with pick up. I am really excited about the fact that a hero of mine, Claire Hamill, is out touring again too. I have loved her music since I was 16 years old. She was the youngest songwriter signed to Island Records and having John Martyn play on your first LP is pretty impressive. You may have heard Eva Cassidy perform her work. Claire is at the Bothy in Southport in October. Thanks for all the support and contact on Facebook. I am not so good at touching down on Myspace but will catch up with that when I can in September. Enjoy the remainder of the summer and stay in touch with me eh! February 2010 Website Jimmy and Val have done a great job here with the website. Everyone’s been telling me how good it is. Thanks for that. Gigs I had a great trip away playing at Faversham and Redbourn. Christine Connolley who wrote January Morning which I recorded on the 'It’s A Cover Up' CD came to Redbourn and joined me for 'Sing A Chorus With Me' at the end of the night . That was a bit special and great songs too from Bill Redway at the break. No sooner had I got back home then it was soon out the door to Leigh Folk On Friday and a full house of great singers. I did a Bono impersonation at the end and phoned J&V who wrote 'One More Song' so they could hear the audience in fine voice. Don’t know if I’ll do it again as it’s bit pretentious but it was fun. [Note from Jimmy & Val: How special and thoughtful is that! We were dumbstruck as we took the call.] Thanks to everyone at the gigs. Songbook Launch Concerts Two really special events:
The songbook is proving a big hit, and many thanks to everyone who has bought one (or two in some cases).
