Solo gig in Toronto

In the process of promoting my new solo album many journalists and DJs have asked me if I would be playing the album live at all, and so I`ve decided to take the plunge and do a live show in Toronto to launch the album there.

The venue is Hugh`s Room, 2261, Dundas St, Toronto ON M6R 1X6 (www.hughsroom.com) and the date is March 30th. Tickets are available at $CA 22.50 and $CA 25.00.

I will be joined by the Canadian musicians that played in the studio including Donald Quan at the piano, George Koller bass and Ron Korb will play flute. I will probably play acoustic guitar and drums, but not at the same time! Hope to see you there!

Tom Petty show ID's

I recently did some radio station IDs for Tom Petty`s "Buried Treasure" radio show (on XM). Tom's a big fan of the Yardbirds!

ASCAP Awards Dinner

I met Phil Collins for the first time at the ASCAP awards dinner in October: was always quite a fan of his (another singing drummer!) and it turned out he was a big Yardbirds fan when he started. He told me he used to come to the old Marquee club in London to see us.

Digital downloads now available

I'm very pleased to tell you that the new album is now available as a digital download at Amazon. It will also be available at i-Tunes and other download sites very soon...
