Edinburgh Festivals!

I had a really busy weekend playing the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, The Edinburgh Carnival and The Ale House Festival Weekender.  It was a really good crowd and I managed to sell all my CD's.  Here's a photo of me playing the Mardi Gras at The Grassmarket.

And if you were on Rose Street on Sunday you may have seen me playing my blues!

On Sunday night I headed up to Clerk St to play The Ale House Festival Weekender!
Here's some more photos taken by Baz Simpson.


My next stop is The Merchant City Festival in Glasgow this Sunday the 29th!  I'll be playing at The 13th Note.
Then on Friday the 3rd of August I'll be back in Glasgow to play the Vagabond Social Club at The Griffin Bar!

I've also had the chance to do some new songs recently and have uploaded some to Soundcloud and Youtube.  Here is a couple of links!

This is a video of me playing Blonde Snapper from the bog at Cannon Bone Cottage in Ayrshire.  There is going to be a Scottish Blues Compilation put together soon and I was asked to send a track so I think I'll send Blonde Snapper, it's a song about the recent Greyhound Derby winner.  Give it a wee watch!

You can add me on Facebook
and don't forget to head over to the Cheap Wine Records Bandcamp page where you can get loads of FREE and CHEAP downloads

Blues Coming Up!

At the end of June I played a set at The Kelburn Garden Party Festival.  It was top festival with loads of really good acts and I had a great time playing! The sound was excellent and there was even some folk having a wee dance. 


On the 21st of July I will be playing at The Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival.  I will be playing a couple of sets at The Mardi Gras at these times
1.10 - 1.45pm
2.50 - 3.20pm

Then on the Sunday the 22nd I'm playing my blues on Rose Street as part of The Edinburgh Carnival. I'll be pickin my tunes out on the street between 1pm and 4pm!

Once I've finished that I'll be playing at The Ale House Festival Weekender!! My set starts at 10pm

At the end of July I'm playing at The Merchant City Festival at The 13th Note in Glasgow!! It's a busy time and I'm looking forward to it all. 

Some other good gigs I have coming up are a gig at the Vagabond Social Club on the 3rd of August which is now at the Griffin in Glasgow and I'll be heading down to England to play at the Blues Shakedown in London on the 31st! After that It's a slot at King Tuts, supporting Dave Arcari (which I'll have tickets to sell for) and then I will be heading off to America for a three week long tour with the great Slate Dump!!  THE SUPER SIZED CHITLIN CIRCUIT TOUR will be hitting these states, TN, MS, TX, OK, MO, WV & KY.

BRING ON ALL THE ACTION!!

Hope to see some of you folk out at the gigs!
