in June and October.Please see EVENTS.

OUTER CIRCLE

I  was asked by National Express Bus Company to promote their anniversary of the oldest route in Europe... the No.11 Outer Circle.

As I had written a piece of music about this famous bus route, I visited Birmingham (UK) and played on the very bus, to the surprise of many passengers who happily joined in with hand claps and smiles!

Jack, head of promotion was a perfect host and luckily, my bus pass meant I didn't have to pay, so he treated me to a coffee and sandwich before travelling back home.

Many thanks to all involved and as promised, I will return next year and possibly play on the whole 25 mile route!

Work In Hand.

I'm still writing material to go with a new album for the new year.

The project will feature instrumental versions of little known Tull songs, plus new material of my own and live tracks from solo tours over the years.

I will make a compilation CD of tracks from my 3 solo records and present them in a single package for sale through my website.

A live album with Pat O"May. The recordings are from our shows in Brittany November 2011.
