Boxjam II was an absolute B L A S T

Arriving at the gig in the afternoon with Hayley & Em from the band (simon wa to turn up later) for my solo part of the event, the atmosphere at the acoustic stage was really mellow and the audience were really a considerate bunch of people who were there to take in the music and enjoy. Thank you if you were one of them! I cajoled the 2 of my band-mates present to join me for “No Tobacco, No Jesus” at the end of my solo set.

The whole event was wonderfully organised and there was a decent crowd at the electric stage, some cool bands on, belly-dancing and some random and fun, fez-wearing, heart-bearing goings on. Big thanks to you if you came, and to the organisers, Simon, Mat, Tina, Toby, Spoons! Looking forward to Boxjam the 3^rd already! X

Boxjam!

Our first Birthday gig,in effect (with The BlueYellows, that is!). I'm playing at 5pm to do an acoustic set followed by the full band at 7.15 pm. Loads going on, check out the poster...

BTW, thanks to Dayve Dean, Mat, Nigel Stonier & Thea Gilmore for asking me to play some songs at Acoustic Sunday, part of The Nantwich Words & Music Festival, when I'd only turned up to as a music fan rather than a performer. Thanks guys!...

I did go home feeling sick with caffine overdose, quite something for me, as you will know if you know anything about my usual coffee intake, but this was couter-acted by the warm glow of having appeared at one of the best kept secrets of the UK festival scene, as I say, thanks X

By the way here's a lil' pic of us from last year's Boxjam, our first ever as The BYs !
