My next album is going to soon be recorded in Texas at third ear studios in Amarillo in the capable hands of Kevin Prosch. Dave Little and I are heading off on the 28th August for two weeks and will hopefully be returning with something close to a brand new album in September sometime. Watch this space for photo’s, blogs and updates. Thanks

Recent gigs in London & Brighton went really well suppoprting The Bruntersaurus!!

His band were joined this time by the Walbourne brothers James & Rob and Dai Godwin (from the caves) from Swansea!! It was a great night with my set seemingly going down a treat and Petes set Rocking probably the hardest Ive ever seen with his own songs! His new album is `Black Mountain U.F.O.” has some of his best work yet on it and played live were stunning.

Anyhow, Ive got a few little gigs coming up and am busy writing and Demo-ing some new material with the opportunity of recording in Texas at the end of the summer.

Hope to see you all soon.

Jim

My first being the classic New Years Day at the Ship A Ground in Mort hoe. This is fast becoming the “New” New years eve as I hook up with friends and  musicians like Peter Bruntnell, Dave Little, Chris Millington, Jenna Witts and Ellie Campbell as North Devon’s finest turn out for  an all day festival in a pub!! Im sure next years will be just as good!!

Then there was Pete and my birthday hootenanny at The Kings Arms in Georgeham. Steve Cave was quite the host providing us with all we needed to make sure the night went well. Topping the night off was a DJ set from Wendy May Billingsly who managed to persuade everyone up onto our makeshift pub dance floor with her soulful tunes!! It was a great to see everyone out having a quality time.

Im playing this Saturday (5th Feb) at another local pub, The White Lion in Braunton to help raise money for a local gal who’s running the marathon. I will be joined by Amy Newton and we may even re-visit a couple of old C14 songs!!

Keep an eye on my website for gigs as I seem to be getting a fair few booked up and its always being updated.
