Another week, another couple of gigs. I haven't done quite as many lately (plus one or two were cancelled) but they seem to be going pretty well when they do happen. On Saturday night the band was out at the Royal Oak at Paddock and then it was onto Greetland on Sunday night for a solo set.

Greetland (not Greenland) is near Halifax and the Rose & Crown stands on the main road heading uphill to the moors. They're making a real go of live music there and that is always to be credited. This night was run by LiveSpace, of whom you will know about from Hebden Bridge if you've followed past blogs...they're now running singer-songwriter nights at 3 venues in Calderdale which is fantastic and long may it continue.

I played a 40 minute set of mainly originals and the response was pretty good, especially considering this was the first LiveSpace night there. An original material night is not always easy to pull off but a lot more rewarding when it does work! I urge everyone in the area to get behind these nights and give some support, there's so many talented musicians out there, and I sometimes play as well!

SONG OF THE WEEK: Included in my set on Sunday night was 'I Can't Believe The News', one of my oldest and dearest songs, which was written in 1998 but then re-recorded for the Love Town album in 2006. Please take a listen if you get a moment!
