Just about recovered from full-on day in Longton yesterday.
A songwriting workshop day with the kids from St Oswald's Primary School, then in the evening a wonderful housegig (our 5th there in 5 years) in front of these big kids, to raise money to help the school out in the special work it does for children with learning diabilities etc.
Huge thanks to Janice & John Anthony Lee for making it happen, to Jonny Campbell for joining us on fiddle, and to Isabelle Higginson, aged 14, our amazing support act.
....and onward for Les Glover and me, to Newbald Village Hall for our sold out concert there tonight 🙂 ... See MoreSee Less

Over on Sex Pistols' Twitter page, there's a pic of myself and John J Campbell in rather fetching khaki shorts, atop "Coniston Old Man" peak; the photo was used on the poster for The Pistols' only Liverpool gig, at Eric's on 15th October 1976...we were the support band that night (Albert Dock, soon to mutate into Yachts).
Who was there? ... See MoreSee Less

Album cover for The Last mad Surge of Youth by Henry Priestman

“…compares favourably to Ray Davies. These are heart-warming self-assured songs from a man confidently declaring that he’s not done yet”

8/10

Uncut Magazine

“Clever crafted songwriting…full of proper tunes & grown-up words…a clever, wily,  literate writer”

****

R2 Magazine

“A lovingly crafted album… his fourth act might be his best”

****

Classic Pop Magazine

“It’s all bound by Priestman’s songwriterly craft: some things age cannot whither”
