Solo gigs start in earnest next week. I’ve done two warm-ups so far at Worcester and South Petherton which have been very enjoyable. Lots of new songs and reviving of old ones. I started doing ‘Tommy’ again towards the end of last year and have been inundated with requests for it so it’s firmly back in the set again. Looking forward to going to see Kelly Jo Phelps later next month who wrote it.

Musings from Phil
Its been a very interesting week. Bellowhead up in the main charts and now Show of Hands creeping up behind them. Whilst its almost meaningless in terms of what the charts originally meant in the early years of volume of sales its just very interesting that our music seems to be percolating through without any significant mainstream airplay or promotion. Its solely about the live shows and the number of new folks who’ve seen us and liked what they heard. Bring it on.
