It's great to be asked to support Jason Hinchey at his CD launch gig on the 23rd April. Jason is a great performer and I defy anyone to tell the difference between whether it's himself or Christy Moore singing. Jason deserves every success and I hope the event is well supported. It's at the Cricketers Pub in Bournemouth.

Friday the 27th April is a big night at Wessex Acoustic Folk Club at the British Legion in Blandford. Stan Graham is travelling down from York with the lovely Julie and is headlining with me in support together with Derek Burgess and Kitty Vernon. Stan is one of the Greats with songs covered by, amongst others, Vin Garbutt, George Hamilton IV and Martyn Wyndham-Read. It promises to be a great night and I'm really looking forward to it.

 Just back from a craicing weekend in Ireland. Played in a wondering session in the Tap Room of the Hilden Brewery, just outside Lisburn - a fantastic venue with accomplished musicians and terrific beer brewed on site, what could be better?! Apparently the session takes place every Wednesday and is well worth a visit. Also took in a weekend in Bundoran to take part in a set dancing event at the Great Northern Hotel. Again, a terrific venue with wonderful views across the ocean and of Ben Bulben. Some great sessions including the incomparable  hosting by Michael Walker.
