Hello everyone,

Now that we are well into 2024, and I hope that, despite everything, we can look forward to a more positive year ahead, with some live music in the frame.

My recent dates have all gone really well, 2024 is starting to look a little healthier, and a few more dates are awaiting confirmation. I’m glad to say that the gig at the Sail Loft Folk Club on Sunday 28th April went really well. Numbers were a bit down, but the weather was rubbish. It was great to see all those who made it. The club meets at The Swan, High Road, Horndon on the Hill, Essex. There’s always a great atmosphere, so try to get along and support them.

It was also great to play at The Preview Club again, on Friday 3rd May. The club meets at The Plough, 426-428 London Road, Westcliff on Sea, Essex. There were some great performers on the bill, which made for a great atmosphere, and I was able to catch up and meet a few friends from the past.

I am also pleased to be booked to play Wivenhoe Folk Club again. I’m there on Thursday 6th June, and they meet at The Royal British Legion, The Quay, Wivenhoe, Essex, is the venue, and doors open at 7.30pm. It will be sad not to see Denise on the door (RIP Denise) but this is another really friendly club, and well worth the visit if you haven’t been before. I look forward to seeing you.

I’m finally going back to Arizona, USA, after a long gap. I’m booked to play at Beaded Lizard Gathering, in Phoenix, on 9th October, Glendale Public Library on 10th October, Fiddler’s Dream Coffeehouse on 12th October, and Monday Night Melodies, at Peoria Library, on 14th October. All the details will be on my tour dates pages. To all my friends over there, I’m looking forward to seeing you again.

I am still not sending out a full newsletter, at present, but I hope to do so as soon as I can. You can still check out any updates on my website.

Meanwhile, It’s About Time, the album, is still available, along with my other recordings, via the website (PayPal). This means you can still hear me, even if you can’t see me at the moment. Make sure you get your copy.

Thanks for supporting live music over the years, and I hope you will continue to do so, when all this worldwide madness is over. Until then, take care of each other, stay safe, and to all my friends, at home and elsewhere,



Rick
