I’m playing tonight as part of an acoustic evening at the Northern Tennis Club on Palatine Road in Didsbury, Manchester. Tickets are £4. Doors open 7.30, I understand there’s an open mic opportunity at 8.30 then four acts are playing. I’ll be doing a half hour set at around 10.15. Just been told I’m now top of the bill(!) and doing 45 minutes at 10.45. Hope there are still some punters awake and sober by that time! Come to think of it, I hope I’m still awake and sober by that time...

Next Saturday (15th Dec) I'm providing support for Steve Tilston at the West Kirby Arts Centre. Only £12. www.facebook.com/events/1904393266238034/The West Kirby Arts Centre are delighted to host the return of Steve Tilston, one of the UK’s most celebrated songsmiths. Widely recognised as one of the UK’s true singer songwriters, Steve was born in Liverpool and raised in the Midlands. He made his recording debut in 1971 and has been turning out quality albums ever since, all featuring first-class song-writing, quintessentially English in style and typically Tilston. Though known as a songwriter, Steve has always had an ear for tradition and includes new interpretations of old favourites on his original recordings. He is also a published author. Well known afficionado of original music, presenter “Whispering” Bob Harris said of Steve Tilston’s music:- “The more you listen, the more there is to discover.” Steve was awarded Male Vocalist of the Year 2015 in the Fatea Awards. Testament if needed, that after 45 years in the business Steve can still deliver the goods. His most recent solo CD Truth to Tell was chosen as one of The Telegraph’s best folk albums of 2015. In 2017, he visited West Kirby Arts Centre with fellow songwriter Jez Lowe, and delivered a great set to a packed audience. This year he will be accompanied by the multi-talented musician Hugh Bradley and the support act will be local musician, Iain Patterson In 2007, a 5 CD boxed-set was released Reaching Back: the Life and Music of Steve Tilston by Free Reed, the company behind the Richard Thompson anthology. In 2009, his early career was hi-lighted in a book Bristol Folk, the story of Bristol’s powerhouse folk & blues scene in the 60s & 70s. His 2011 release The Reckoning garnered 4-star reviews in the Guardian, the Observer and the Scotsman, a guest appearance on Later with Jools Holland and the BBC Four Songwriters’ Circle series, plus a Folk Award win for best original song. Followed, in 2013 by the highly acclaimed trio album Happenstance. Steve was also commissioned to write for the Olympics Radio Ballads series and the Harbour of Songs project. Steve will be releasing a new album in the summer. Distant Days is a pared back voice and guitar recording, something Steve has been wanting to do for some time. Around 19 tracks – solo acoustic recollections - chosen largely by public selection via social media etc. including a previously unreleased instrumental Shinjuku inspired by Bert Jansch. Many of these songs will be included in in his concert set at West Kirby. Tickets coming soon to our website www.westkirbyartscentre.org.uk
