A new year and some new exciting gigs and projects.

January 26th sees the second gig in Derby of ‘Skin & Bone’. This will be at The Bless, Chapel Street at 7-30pm. Entry will be one note. This time the all percussion group I will be playing with is with George Grignon and Greg Rawson.

On March 3rd I will be playing with ‘Murmurists’ in Manchester in the evening. This will be at ‘Home’, a fantastic venue, a new centre for international contemporary art, film and theatre. More details to follow.

March 18th and 19th I will be recording in Martin Archer’s ‘Engine Room Favourites’ for a new album. This will be at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studios at Box in Wiltshire. An exciting place to record and an exciting project.

Late March or early April I’ll be playing with Corey Mwamba, Laura Cole, Rachel Musson, Hannah Marshall and other leading improvisers in London. More details will follow. We will be responding to real time painting done by the artist Gina Southgate.

Looking ahead I will be recording at The Chairworks studios in Castleford with an album of Martin Archer, with Laura Cole and Kim Macari Stone-Lonergan.
