This evening, I shall mostly be at The Golden Lion, Lancaster, for their weekly open mic. Supposed to be a particularly good one… 🤞🤞🤞

Anybody know of any open mics in Lancaster tonight? (That’s Lancaster in the UK, not PA; I made that mistake once before! 😂)

Thoroughly enjoyable evening at Topic Folk Club last night; thanks to the team and the audience for making me feel very welcome

I’ve no pedals to add to it…

Final (?) iteration of the pedalboard

Enjoyable evening at The Thursday Club, Knaresborough for their monthly songwriters evening

Had a fantastic evening at Bingley First Monday Folk last night. Huge thanks to Liz and the team for all they do. Definite highlight was seeing Trash Panda doing a floor spot.

Next up is Topic Folk Club on Thursday 14th August, playing support to Otra (tickets available online)

Dunno, but I’d like to live there 😍

All set for tonight’s gig at The Ryshworth Club, Bingley

Duuuuuh dun

Dun dun dun dun dun dun… 😂

Mixing with a pair of Kali LP-6 speakers (and a sub) and blimey does it make such a difference over my old ILouds!

Going to try recording with a new mic combination tomorrow; a @lewittaudio.bsky.social LCT 440 Pure Vida for the vocal and a pair of Rays on the guitar, recording vocal and guitar at the same time

Hard to believe it’s nearly August!

Well, I’ve got a couple gigs lined up for next month; playing Bingley First Monday Folk at The Ryshworth Club on Monday 4th August.

And on 14th, I’ll be playing a support slot for Otra at Topic Folk Club, details below…

Fantastic afternoon yesterday at The Goat’s Head, Steeton. Monthly open mic run by Mike Burtoft

That feeling when you come up with a chord progression in your head whilst working, but you’ve got no way to try it out until home time in three hours…

From last night’s open mic at Thomas Hardy’s Irish Bar, Horsforth, for their weekly open mic

Thanks to Stephen Brinda for the photo

Thoroughly enjoyable evening at The Salt Cellar, Saltaire, for their Tuesday open mic. Sang a couple of songs that I don’t do live as often as I should and they went down very well

And this was last Sunday at the Goats Head open mic, Steeton

Literally, in this case; they didn’t have much in the way of air conditioning! 🥵😂

Enjoyable evening at The Old Masons, Oulton, for their first monthly open mic. Some lovely feedback from the audience, too

It’s not always easy to junk a set of lyrics when you’ve spent time working on them. But sometimes you get to a point where you realise there’s no point wasting a decent chord sequence on sub-par words.

I had a taco for the first time last night. This photo ensures I won’t be able to eat one again! 🤮🤮🤮

I’m off out to have a look at some tomorrow. Should be fun

Another quick rearrangement of the pedalboard. Added an MXR Phase 100 for some nice swirly-type sounds. Just need to find a reverb pedal that I’m happy with and that’ll be this version of the board complete (but not the end of my gear acquisition; don’t be ridiculous! 😂)
