I have been asked a few times about getting gigs in clubs. I am not involved in booking any gigs, I just list them on this website.
The best bet is to turn up at clubs so that you can be seen in action, or contact the club oraniser directly. Most have contact details on this website. Good Luck :)
Yes folks! I am still running Folk Roundabout, and yes, it keeps me busy.
I do interviews and film making (One 2 min film took 3 days to make) too which takes a lot of time (I make films for people) - all the background stuff.
Currently doing the Harvey Andrews interview and South Shield's club film - in between my songwriting and attending clubs, so it all takes time :)
I DO THIS ALONE SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AS I DO HAVE A PERSONAL LIFE TOO :)
