Following The Compass again...

Another day, another springtime back-stage, and new strings to play in.

Tuesday, April 7th.

A return visit to Chester and The Compass, this time to support the astounding Andrew Montgomery and his band currently touring his intense new album Ruled By Dreams. Some of you may know Andrew from his Geneva days and will be aware of his incredible angelic, souring vocals. These really go well with the overwhelming, emotional and, yes dreamy sounds of his new album and live performance here. Brilliant.

Talking of brilliant, my co-supportee of the evening was Oliver Townsley, a purveyor of captivating, brooding, moody songs, and a really nice guy as well as if that wasn't enough. Definitely one to look out for in the future. 

My photos were a bit rubbish in the low-light during the gig to be honest so I've posted a couple of videos that can do more justice to my fellow artists of the night, in case you don't already know about them. If that's the case please treat yourself and check them out;






I played There She Moves, Flamingos, Six Blade Knife (Mark Knopfler cover), Beachcombing, Big Low Copper Moon, Galleries and Feels Like Sunshine.

The Compass in one's eyes.

Another gig at a new (to me) venue, another fabulous night. This time all sails were set for North by North West and the fab Compass venue in Chester and a lovely acoustic evening run by Dan of The Core, and featuring the formidable talents of Alex Green and Connah Evans. It was also great to bump into super-talented Sophie Morgan in the audience, who was fantastic at the recent Shrewsbury gig.

For my set I played There She Moves, Flamingos, Beachcombing, Big Low Copper Moon, Galleries & No Tobacco, No Jesus.

A print-it-out and draw-our faces poster...... if you like! ;)

Songsmith Connah Evans wows the crowd.

Alex Green captivates with a bit of slap-tapping guitar & great songs.
