A choir of Junkmen

The gigs with Jim Lockey were a lot of fun; although apologies to Ayr based folk as that gig had to be cancelled. Really hope that Jim Lockey and his band, and Barry Oxygen Thief get back up this way again soon.

The main reason for this post though is to announce a couple of great shows I've got coming up. The closest one is Sunday 27th of June for Scottish Cancer Support. On the bill are the wonderful Junkmans Choir (featuring ex members of Ayrshire legends Nyah Fearties), Jamie Wilson and the superb Shambles Miller. There is a facebook event that has all the details. I'll be playing this gig more or less solo.

The second gig to announce, although, I may have mentioned it before, is the fucking awesome Full Throttle Festival. This is a weekend festival of independent bands that takes place every year in County Durham. Last year, Roscoe Vacant and I travelled down to play at the acoustic stage. It was a hell of a lot of fun, camping, drinking, dancing, hanging out, everything that the cool kids do.

This year I shall be playing with the band on the main stage, on the Saturday (24th July) evening. Roscoe is also playing the festival, but I'm not sure yet which day he is playing. The band and I have tickets to sell, so if you would like a weekend to remember, we're got them! They are £25 for the full weekend, including camping, or £20 for the Saturday only. Please email me if you want to be a part of this. My wife will also be running a craft stall!
