Hi everyone!! Hope you are all still well.
I've had a really good time playing recently. I really enjoyed playing at Ryedale Live! It is a brilliant venture and I recommend you get to see the next one on 7th November at Hutton-le-Hole Village Hall. I also enjoyed my visit to The Burn where I played in a BAND with David on guitar and Steve Sansom on drums. It was brill!!
I've been in the studio this month with David Illingworth at Kirkburn recording my new CD. Look out for release datails soon!!
Don't forget my CD is still available. It is called "Songs from the North Country" and it has 10 new songs on it, 9 of which I wrote after I moved back up to Yorkshire last summer.
The songs from the North Country are;
- The Last Boat In
- The Staithes Mermaids
- And You, Helen
- The Battle of Waterloo
- Loving Hannah
- A Proud Yorkshireman
- The Light and the Dark
- Follow Your Heart
- The Road We Travel.
The CD also has a cover version of a lovely song by John Storey called 'A Love So Free.' I am lucky enough to have Josie Mills on the CD singing two songs and Maggie Allred who plays violin. It is available for £5.
Stan Graham says; "A superb album full of great songs."
Paula Ryan says. "It's really great. A distinctive collection of strong songs performed really well."
Heather Mc Neill says; "The Staithes Mermaids has blown me away. This is a beautiful, haunting song and Josie's voice is incredible."
Hope to see you somewhere soon.

All the best
