A Recent message from John - who wants to hear from you if you can help him out with a gig or decent floorspot at your club!

Sorry I've not been in touch. Been a bit busy over the last few weeks. It's the dance season. I was at Holmfirth with Rumworth, then Chippenham, also with Rumworth. From there I continued down south, doing the date at Seaford, and promotional floor spots around Sussex. Then there was the Coastline Bluegrass Event at LLandudno, playing for Mind The Step (Appalachian dancers). Then Middlewich Folk & Boat festival with Mind The Step. Then the Abram Morris Dancers, doing the annual Abram and districts tour. Then MTS again, this time at Conway (North Wales Bluegrass Festival). Tomorrow I'm up at the Clogfest in Skipton with the clogging side of 7 Stars Sword & Step Dancers. The next solo date is Aug. 5th, at Kiveton Park , and I'm just sorting out some promotional spots around that, in S. Yorks and thereabouts.

love

John
