Hello Music lovers, how is 2023 treating you all?
My band has been out and about in March 2023 and our tour in March to the West Country, supporting the launch of the new album, “Bonito” (Reviewed here for Jazzwise) was fab. Lots of smiles in the mix of world music influences, bringing some sunshine for you at summer festivals 2023.
Next up for the band

I’ve just been on tour with The Waeve (Graham Coxon – guitarist from Blur) and Rose Elinor Dougall’s exquisite new album, and this summer I’m playing lots of festivals and european dates with them promoting their debut album.
I also played a couple of gigs with Stornoway, the band for their comeback gigs after a hiatus.
Hope to see you all somewhere along the way xx
2022
It’s been a busy time, and I’m recovering from our great gig at Love Supreme 2022, and getting ready to launch my new album ‘Bonito’ in September 2022! The CD will be available to buy at gigs before the official release, and you can preorder by emailing me.
The new album ‘Bonito’ is officially being released in September 2022 but you can buy hard copies from me at the gigs.

Review of Travels with Charlotte Glasson:
“A touch of the Hot Club De France, a hint of Coltrane, echoes of McKinney’s Cotton Pickers, a theme that comes could have come from the Jazz Messengers – all jazz history is there! Great fun”
