11/01/15…Happy New Year!…music review of 2014, picture blog.
Belated Happy New Year everyone…had meant to get this up in late December, but as you’ll see at the bottom, I had mitigating circumstances for the delay…anyway, what a brilliant year 2014 was (that is, until right up till Dec 12!)…thought I’d let 15 pics do most of the talking (most of them have been on Facebook, so apologies if you’ve seen them before):

Pic 1/ My album “The Last Mad Surge of Youth” finally came out, only 6 years after the debut (hey, I like to take my time and get it right!), … Continue reading

31/10/14….Autumn update
Autumn’s here (my favourite season)…time to batten down the hatches, light fires, and drink red wine… but hey, don’t stay in watching dodgy TV, live music needs your support!
After a quick break in Scotland (where I’m sure it stopped raining for at least 2 hours while we were there!), I’m fully refreshed and ready to start part two of the “Autumn Before The Winter Tour 2014” (see list of gigs below)…a couple of sold out shows (Processed Pea Folk Club near Beverley, and Liverpool’s Lantern Theatre), otherwise some tickets should still available for the other shows (ticket details… Continue reading

A day of trying out a couple of new live tunes with Les Glover: Les, singer, songwriter, guitarist etc etc, and now cutter of hair…
Tho’ my wife's leg is out of plaster as of yesterday, she still can’t get around much without crutches, and not quite up for cutting my hair yet, so "Monsieur Les" stepped in and did the honours (incl the patter:“see the match last night, sir?”, “something for the weekend, perhaps?”)…Mind you, a #2-all-over-cut with clippers isn’t exactly rocket science (and I do have a cap if all had gone wrong), but nice to know he’s got something to fall back on!

Been a good couple of days on the cottage-industry coal-face...3 CDs sold from website (after a fallow month)...it's like a tiny lottery win each time one comes in...small is beautiful!

What a great (and full-on) week I've had producing/recording Loved Up Les' debut album "The Love Terrorist"...it's all about the songs; these'll make you laugh, cry, and you can sing along to them. Great stuff.
I'm absolutely exhausted now, mind...time for an early night, and a day off!
