The Revival Tour, Leeds University, November 20th 2012 (from left to right, Chuck Ragan, Joe Ginsberg, Jimmy Islip, Jon Gaunt) I’ve just completed a fairly lengthy run of gigs and I’d like to take the time to thank a few people who have gone out of their way to really help me out over the last few months; Tim and El, Raph and folks in Edinburgh, Rob Willer and his lovely wife, Dean, Ant, Emma and Ian in Manchester, Daniel and Anya in Frankfurt, Tim Dingleberry, Archi Haddock, Buzz in Brighton, Alfie Crook, the lads in The Magnificent, Simon Moon, Helen at Brewdog Newcastle, Flo at Trapdoor Tours and my wonderful wife Jess Islip. A final big thanks to Digger Barnes, Jon Gaunt, Chuck Ragan and everyone on the Revival Tour. The last few weeks have been a truly inspirational experience. I have some tour dates-a-brewin’ for March 2013. UK, Germany and beyond. My first LP, The Wild West Riding, should hopefully be finished in a couple of months time. I will put up a preview in the next few weeks. But for now, cheers!
