Hello everyone, I hope this finds you all well. Apologies it has been a while since my last note. Things have been busy and continue to be so. There are some good gigs to look forward to, at the Langdale festival with Mik Mead; at the Furness Tradition festival and then the third annual gathering with The Throwbacks and guests at the end of August.
I have been busy writing and recording and I have reached the point where a new album is nearly ready. I am going through the process of mixing and mastering, so I am optimistic that it will be ready for The Throwbacks gathering.
I have also been busy working with Mik Mead to set up a regular open mic night at the Unicorn Inn in Ambleside. Every 2 weeks it will be with a PA and the weeks in between will be acoustic. So far it has gone well, with a number of talented folk contributing. Local musician Dan Briston has started to host the evenings, which has been good.
Look after yourselves and hope to see you at one of the gigs.

Hello Everyone, I hope that you are well. I am very pleased to report that the gig & the time with the Throwbacks was brilliant. The gig was to raise money for Cancer Research, and with help from Ethan Thomas, Mik Mead & the Unicorn, who allowed me to use the gig at the Unicorn on 6th Sept to add to the total. The final total raised was £450! So, thanks to all who contributed.
A special thanks to The Throwbacks: Colin, Desi, Fred & Rosie, such great musicians and such good friends. Also thanks to our special guests: Chris Mcloughlan & Laura Firth, who both sang beautifully. A fitting tribute to Chris Hunter.
Now looking forward to playing at Dorking Folk Club on 2nd October. Be great to see you if you can make it. Nick 24/9/24
Hell Everyone, I hope this finds you well. I'm pleased to say that I have had a few really enjoyable gigs since my last message. There was the really great weekend of music at the Unicorn to raise money for Fix the Fells. Some great music and over £300 raised. Thanks to all who contributed. There have also been a couple of lovely evenings, again at the Unicorn, put on by Earthwoode Music. Firstly with Ethan Thomas and secondly with Pete Lashley. Both Ethan and Pete produced fantastic sets. I was also fortunate to play at the Furness Tradition festival at Ulverston and was very pleased that the wonderfully talented Bev Whelan was able to join me for a few songs.
I am very much looking forward to the Throwbacks arriving and playing to raise money for Cancer Research, in memory of the mush missed Chris Hunter. If you are interested in coming, please get in touch.
Keep safe and hope to see you soon. Nick 5/8/24
Hello Hello
Hello and Happy New Year to Everyone, I hope this finds you well. I have been very pleased and flattered by the positive response to Another Fine Mess. This was exemplified by the review from Folk North West. Copies of the Album are still available, so please email if you would like to purchase a copy. Also very pleased to see the finished album from Paul Goulding, which looks and sounds excellent. Looking forward to the music day at the Unicorn Inn, Ambleside on the 24th Feb. A day of different talents gathered by Earthwoode Music to raise money for Fix the Fells. Details of specific times to follow in due course.
Keep safe and hope to see you on the 24th. Nick 15/1/24
