1st April 2010: Had an excellent time performing once again with Jan Schelhaas at the Finisterrae Festival in A Coruna, Spain. We had a great time playing and the organisation was most impressive. Many thanks to Rafael Pineiro for making it all possible. If you're going to that part of the world I can recommend plenty of pulpo - the local octopus dish - washed down with a crisp white Albarino. Delicious.
Here's some photos (of the concert, not the pulpo).

So that was it then, 2009. What happened?
Hmm, amongst other previously reported happenings, I had an excellent time during a couple of stints on the road with
John Lees' Barclay James Harvest in October & November. A most excellent beat combo and it has to be said that they treat their support acts with the utmost civility.
I don't have any photos yet from the Scottish leg (no jokes please) where I was performing in duo with my old friend
Jan Schelhaas. I'll post 'em when I get 'em. But
here's a few snaps from the Euro-leg where I was accompanying my fragrant friend
Jenny Weisgerber.
We were playing songs from her new 6-track CD
"Ambitious Love", which we produced in the nick of time for the tour. It's fresh! and available pre-release in the
Kartini Music Shop!
