They have asked me to "do" a live set
and an interview on the Ted Robbins Show
9-00 am and 12-00pm on
Monday 20th September,Who am I to say no!!!
Them geese dont half get around

Hey I just wrote a protest song

It's finally happened ,I have been singing about Bob Dylan
for that long I am turning into him,This new song is mainly
about why our wonderful government Cancelled the
"Promised" metrolink "up north" when they thrown people
out of there homes so that the tram link could go ahead
and ironically use the same money that they have saved
to go and bomb other people out of there homes in Iraq
The song is called "Tony do as you are told"
I feel like Billy Bragg or is it Billy Bradshaw??

Did I see Paula ??

I was driving home last night from a gig
and Im sure I seen
Paula Radcliffe
sitting on the pavement in Mossley.
I was going to ask her to get me a morning paper
but I decided it would be quicker if I got it myself

A domblog newsflash

Just to let the world know

I have been asked
to play the middlewich folk
& Boat festival in 2005.

(This is a big one)

Last years headliners were
Fairport convention &
The Levellers

(I better dig me wellies out)

(HE HE!!!)

Im watching Fencing !!!!!!!

Just finished Watching fencing
not at the olympics,the bloke next door
has just put up a new one

A home gig at The Castle last night

A good gig last night I got about 30 min
and my set went down really well,
I played some new stuff like
"You can spend your cash on urban splash
but it's still Ancoats to me"
I got a invite to play at The Cavern in Liverpool
and aslo I am playing an open air gig this Sat
on the bridge on Beswick Street near the Crusty Cob,
I will be playing at 1-15 pm just to help out the kids club.
So come down for a Free gig from me.

The Olympics,Its all Greeke to me.

Its here again ,the Olympics,you know the time when you get excited about sports just because it's GB ,I found myself on Day one today watching ,Sailing,Fencing, Judo, and Badmington ,and I didnt understand the fencing as the looser was still alive,The Sailing never had a bar-B-Q on it,and it never went past a nudist beach,what's that Judo all about then???,AmI getting old or could you not see the shuttlecock as well ,I know there is the tiddlewinks qualifiers to come very soon so I am looking forward to that,
Iwill keep you updated on the Olympics as I see it,
(I love it really )

Took the geese abroad last night

I traveled to Leeds last night to play an acoustic night,I was a little apprehensive about my material wondering how Ancoats songs would go down in a city that had maybe never heard of the place,It was only after I had been on stage that I realised that the vast majority of city centres have there very own Ancoats and that's why Our New Ancoats Masionette went down a storm, so ye I now intend to get out there and start breaking the boundaries,

The Northern Quarter or Ancoats

I will be playing some home gigs in "The Northern Quarter" or Ancoats during August
at The Castle in Oldham Street,The Britons Protection,I will be playing some new material such as "You can spend your cash on urban splash but it's still ancoats to me" and the song I played on the B.B.C "I got a CD" So get down to town and have a laugh,My CD is not on sale in H.M.V
But it can be bought in Tib Street Chippy,and you can't get puddin "n" Chips in H.M.V.
