Really looking forward to performing as part of this excellent day of music and mischief at The Green Backyard in Peterborough next month. It is organised by the team behind the Smugglers Festival in Kent so you can be assured that it will be a great day.
I will be joined by Basia Bartz on violin which will be a treat – it is our first gig together in over a year. Please join us.

After all the excitement of the last few weeks three chord political punkelele madness, here is a little something to reminding myself and the world that I have subtler days too…
A few shots of Ronnie Le Drew, Lucy Pawlak and Mike, taken by Basia Bartz on my boat during the film shoot for the forthcoming Mariam’s Cake music video.
Basia and I have been messing about recording on my little boat – I hope you enjoy this video of us playing The Suitor’s Ballyhoo.
Pull Up The Roots have just booked me for a headline show at The Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell on Tuesday 1st November. Which is officially the first time a reputable London promoter have let me do this. To celebrate me and the biggest band I can pull together for the night are going to put on a SHOW.
Tori is going to bring her harp down, we will be unleasing my shiny new dark ditty ‘The Dirge Of Mark Duggan’, Caitlin is playing accordion (it will be her last show for a couple of months as she heads to India for work), Basia will be rocking the violin and hopefully there will be guest moments from some other friends.
Basically, if you have half a mind to come and see me play any time soon, come to this show!
