Staggered to have got 2 amazing reviews from two New Zealand broadsheet papers. “CD of the Week” and 4½ stars in the only New Zealand Sunday broadsheet (Sunday Star Times)…and another 4 star review in NZ paper The Dominion Post: “Priestman occupies the territory somewhere between Ray Davies’ sardonic take on life and Nick Lowe’s sly humour”… Continue reading

April 14, 2014 at 8:25 am Safely back from a wonderful weekend in Scotland, with Ben Hughes...The Glasgow/Motherwell gig was amazing, as usual: thanks to all who came down especially my 17 year old nephew-in-law Donald Robinson really raised the bar when he reprised his beautiful cello part on "We Used To Be You" from the album. In this pic he appears to be saying "are you SURE about that chord, Henry"? His Dad John was no slouch on fiddle either!
