I was due to be in Sandown on the Isle of Wight on October 30th but they have kindly agreed to move their Praise Party to November. More details to follow on the new date for Sandown. I asked them to move the date to make way for a proposed northern / Scottish tour (Manchester northwards) from Saturday October 22nd until Sunday 30th. Although I’m not expecting gigs on all of those 9 nights I decided on them because it will be half term which means that children will be able to attend any weeknight Praise Parties as there will be no school the following day.

After a couple of weeks of relaxation after the wonderful Lionheart Festival (where I hope to return in 2023, more details later) it’s back to doing what I most love doing next Sunday (Aug 7th) a Praise Party at Wick Hall in Littlehampton. We ‘kick off’ at 3.30 and I promise you it will be an hour or so of fun for ALL ages. Do come and say hello…brother Timbo will also be with me plonking away on his bass guitar. Amazingly the hall is just a few yards away from where I lived whilst going to senior school. Whilst I was struggling to learn anything academic, little brother Timbo…

Do check out the menu and you will see that Irene had added a new blog. This is the first of many. I think lots of you will find it very interesting.
