‘One Drunk Kiss,’ is the song. (Yet to be recorded). A song about a stolen kiss in a graveyard. Was fun playing at @honey_bee_blues at the weekend with their blues and ale festival by the sea! 🎼🖤🎼 #graveyardblues #onemanband #resonatorguitar #blues #slideguitar #rockblues #bluesfestival

Three months of upcoming shows! Looking forward to playing all these great places! I’ll be bringing the delta blues, Chicago blues, ragtime and mixing originals and trads depending on location. Working on putting bluesy covers of the odd more modern song in the set! If you want to know more then DM and I’ll furnish you with gig details… a new website is being constructed… in the meantime you can see my ‘bands in town’ account which has gig links / timings etc. Come along for a drink, listen and possible boogie!! Great places including; Otley, Skipton, Huddersfield, Papplewick, Lake District etc!! 🎼❤️🎼 #onemanband #ukmusicscene #diyartist

Well there we go! Nearly a sellout last night on the double header blues gig with @memphis_dsongs The venue and its volunteers were trying to get things happening and the marvellous thing is that 40+ people ventured out, bought a ticket and supported live music. Blues in the Pennines took the pics!! Today I’ve set up my gear in the house to do a few tweaks and to run new songs for the next album. Onwards! (After I finish my tax return). 🎼❤️🎼 #bluesman #onemanband #resonatorguitar

Just shared the official video to Dark Spirits on here. Apparently the algorithm won’t share it to new people due to length!! Feel free to check it out if you like your one man ban blues dark and rocking and rolling. Cheers. 🎼 🍻 🎼 #bluesmusic #onemanband

New song; ‘The Spirits Are Calling.’ Set opener at tonight’s show in Bingley. Lots of people came out so@I tried more new originals but also put in some more well known songs for the few Swing Dancers that came! 🎼🎯🎼 #onemanband #resonatorguitar #bluesmusic

Jazz Sundays at Red Lion had my one man band in today. I was basically acoustic and threw a tonne of old blues and jazz in and it ended up being so much fun. Especially the vibrations in the second half. What joy. 🎼❤️🎼 #bluesmusic #resonatorguitar #onemanband

Wow! What a place… invited up to play in The Lake District at this beautiful old 17th century pub. The medicine show sign promising relief from old age ailments possibly giving much encouragement!! Farmers Arms at Lowick Green. Looking forward to playing to the pub that is full of circus performers here for a memorial and the Swedish and Dutch tourists. Already met John who is officially the world’s fastest one man band who is camping nearby! 🎼❤️🎼 #medicineshow #resonatorguitar #bluesguitar

What a place to play… @yhatreybay Got my old resonator guitar loaded up and played a set mostly of vintage style well known songs but squeezed a few originals in. Can’t be doing loads of songs about graveyards to a kid’s of surfers looking for a fun Friday night… Every Friday night they do music. Lucky to be squeezed in and make a week away in much needed Cornwall. Watching the sunset and people get cold as the spring nights roll in!! Back to Yorkshire today! 🎼🖤🎼 #detltablues #robertjohnson #onemanband
