It’s looks like Spring is on the horizon. Fingers crossed.

I just wanted to let you know about some shows I have coming up.

April
20th London – House Concert
21st Brighton – House Concert
There may be some tickets available for these concerts. If you could write to me and I’ll pass on your message to the organisers. It has to be their call I’m afraid.
June
9th – Trelawynd, Folk @ The Hall Festival. This festival includes Dougie MacLean, Jim Moray and Kiris Drever www.therecordjournal.co.uk/Fath.html
There are a few other irons in the fire I’m waiting to hear about. I will let you know about them asap.
Here are a few videos you might be interested in. The first is a wee video I made for Solo (Valentine NYC) from the new album.
The second is my performance of Raining In Glasgow on BBC Radio Scotland’s Another Country show featuring Kim Edgar on piano and Arthur Nicholson on guitar.
The third one is a ‘work in progress’ recording of A Little At A Time from my songs of Johnny Cash album project which has the working title of ‘Cash Back’. This album is still in the making, but fingers crossed it will see a release date in the autumn.
Here you go:

Well that’s about it for now. Remember that New York Hummingbird will be released on March 26th and will be available from all the usual outlets. If you want to buy it direct from me (which is nice) then just go to the ‘shop’ on my website. If everyone on my mailing list was to buy a copy from me then I’d be able to finish the Johnny Cash album! : )

Please do contact me if you need any information on anything I’ve mentioned here and if you know of a good venue near you that you’d like me to come and play then tell me about it. Or if you or a friend would like to host a House Concert then give me a shout and I’ll let you know how it works. And finally please keep the Request Of The Week requests coming in. They’re fun to do.

Remember to tune in to the podcasts I do with my good friend Grant Macnamara – ‘Messages From The Action Men’. They’re free to listen to on the website and on iTunes.

I hope to see you somewhere down the road very soon.

All the best and thanks again for all your support.

Cheers
Dean
