Hi Folks, still trying to update the website, I'm a slow learner!!

Latest news, after a great time with The Frendz in Norway in April, playing the blues, I got the blues when the transport system packed up, and I had to limp home from Bergen, and had 48 hours to fix the car and head off to Germany, where we had 15 concerts with Gathering, ending on May 10th. Loads of kilometres, and rattling about in a bus, band worked hard, and the music side was great! I left the guys and gal in East Germany, after the concert on the 9th, and had to drive overnight to Amersfoort in Holland, to catch a few hours of the Magna Carta rehearsals for their last concert, in The Carre Theatre, Amsterdam, on 11th May. A wonderful and emotional evening, one of the best concerts I have had the privelege of playing on. (see pics!)

Future bits, Gathering are playing on 26th June, at The Aspinall Arms, Mitton, near Clitheroe, and 27th June, on The Isle of Mann, also 4th July, at Tunø Festival, on the island of Tunø, Denmark, and to fill in their time whilst over from USA, Jerry and Kristina, will be joining me in a trio of gigs as a trio, 1/2/3rd July, in Denmark. In August, 14/15/16, Gathering will be playing Rietberg Festival, Rietberg, Germany, which includes guitar clinics, drum clinics, acoustic and songwriting seminars, and a few pints no doubt!  Lots of bits inbetween and after, The Frendz in Norway late July, myself and Alan Thomson are doing some duo dates, and there will be some extra Gathering concerts in Germany around the Rietberg Festival. If not posted here, check out www.myspace.com/thegatheringonline, as Kristina is much better at this than me!!

Good Luck and thanks for checking in!!
