Wishing you all the best for this one Conor. Sorry I can't make it.

I was just listening to him playing Billet Doux this morning.
Man did he rip on that one.

Thanks Alan, hopefully plenty more to come.

The fantastic Remi Harris Trio in September is another I'm looking forward to.

Some plans in place for next year but can't give too much away at the moment but off to Paris to seal the deal on one of those in the next month or so :-)

I've got tickets for this - coming over from Sheffield, where I now live. John Wheatcroft is himself an excellent guitarist, too. I'm also planning on having a pint in the Philharmonic pub, which I used to go in when I was a youngster. It's going to be a cracking gig!

Come over and say hello on the night, I'll be the bald Irish man running around on the night :-)

I used to live in Sheffield myself but moved to Liverpool about 17 years ago.
