From June onwards there will be a few things going on, but I can't really announce them until the promoters do! This poster showed up last week though- it's a fantastic venue, and I'm delighted to be going back for another afternoon, this time in great company at the Grayston Unity in Halifax
It was absolutely wonderful, thank you!
I have a ticket for that gig, but can’t go as I’m now supporting Pauline Murray that night. I look forward to reading your review! X
A really enjoyable read- I'm a massive fan of Radhika, almost without even realising it!
See you at La Batisfera in Valencia on Friday night!
Meanwhile, why not take advantage of this half price offer on my vinyl album and CD?

Lovely that my piece for @thefortyfive.bsky.social was included in this review of recent cultural highlights by @johnearls.bsky.social. And keeping such good company, from the stupendously good movie The Secret Agent to The Nightingales & the delightful @mccookerybook.bsky.social.
Thank you John!
