Pigs, gigs, letting it all hang out!

It's been a crazy few weeks!  The album is out and the festivals are plentiful!  This weekend was a blast with Smoked and Uncut Festival, followed by a headline gig in Bath on Saturday, then up to Huntingdon for Secret Garden Party Festival on Sunday.  It's such a joy to play with the band, especially at Chapel Arts Centre, Bath where the sound is so good - thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a brilliant evening - the "Digging to Australia" singalong was particularly impressive!  Here are some pics from the weekend :-)

​Thanks to Ian Wallman for the above pic.

These fluffy babes are pets, but even so there was no pork eating for me after seeing them on arrival at Smoked and Uncut Festival.

Having a cheeky rehearsal of Summertime Man here - serious doowaps needed :-)

Jas and I had a ball at Secret Garden Party and the Living Room Stage audience was very welcoming indeed.  It's probably the most chilled out festival I've experienced in my time as a festival goer.  There were a few people wandering round with one boob on show - yes, only one, who knows why...well why not I guess?  That's the great thing about festivals - no-one cares!

This weekend I'll be playing at Cambridge Folk Festival!  I'm doing a showcase with the band (6 piece!) in the Club Tent on Saturday at 5pm, yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa! 

After Cambridge it's off to Devon to play Sidmouth Fringe Sessions as a duo with Jack Cookson!  Catch us opening the evening on August 3rd :-) and it's FREE!

Here's a new video for you.  Jack and I co-wrote "Have We Met Before" for my new album "Young Runaway" and this is a live recording of it we did in the Shepherd's Hut in my garden.
