*LATEST NEWS
My new 30 Songs compilation album is out now! See below.
And the “All On A Winter’s Night” Tour has just begun. Paul, Dik, and I had a great first night in Dorset last weekend – and we hope you can make one of our concerts at Tedburn St Mary, Ascott-under-Wychwood, Bristol, Stroud, Plymouth, Cheltenham, and Lichfield. At Stroud and Cheltenham we’ll be joined by Geoff March on cello, vocals, and percussion, and there’ll be images from award-winning photographer Martin Fry.

My new 30 Songs compilation album is out now!
Here are thirty songs that mean such a lot to me. They cover several decades and are taken from twelve different albums; from my first solo album Roll on Dreamer in 1978 through to Borderland in 2014.
The first CD has 15 songs that feature my band, with some very fine musicians and singers such as Phil Beer, Mick Dolan, Matt Clifford, Anthony Head, Mick Candler, Trevor Foster, John Broomhall, Pete Acock, Steve Dolan, Gareth Sampson, Steve Hutt, Tony Bennett, and Bill Zorn. Songs include – When Is Said and Done, We Shall Not Pass, New Day, Believe in You, Catherine, Celebrate My Life, and Everybody Knows – almost all of the tracks are not available on any other CD.
The second CD is a personal acoustic selection – 15 tracks with the talents of Mike Silver, Phil Beer, Paul Burgess, Mick Dolan, Matt Clifford, Paul Metsers and Geoff March.
Throughout the recording process, I’ve been very lucky to have worked with three fine pairs of ears, Mick Dolan, John Acock, and David Pickering-Pick. I really enjoyed putting this new compilation together, and hope you’ll enjoy listening!
Available by mail order and cheque – or by phone for credit card details. Do leave your phone number – you can also email your phone number for us to call you back.
For £16 inc P&P (£19 for European mainland / £20 for rest of the world)

*RECENT NEWS
Thank you ever so much for supporting my concert By Severn and Somme at Gloucester Cathedral. It was such an honour to be invited to perform in that glorious building on the Centenary of the Armistice weekend.
Very sad news that two legends of the folk scene – Bill Caddick, and Roy Bailey have passed away – Bill is most famous for songs like John O’ Dreams, Unicorns, and She Moved Among men. He also worked in theatre productions at the National Theatre, with Magic Lantern, and formed Home Service with John Tams. Roy Bailey was a fine singer on the folk scene for over 50 years – working with Tony Benn, John Kirkpatrick, Leon Rosselson, Martin Simpson, Andy Cutting, and many others.
My thoughts are with Bill and Roy’s families and friends.
