Hey! I’m playing the lovely Sunflower Sessions night, at the Sunflower Lounge (just down the road from Birmingham New Street Station) on Sunday, November 2nd. It’s £1 in, if I remember rightly, and should be a really nice night of acoustic music. You can catch live sessions by:
Tom Kerswill
Alex Harmon
Harlem Dandy
Marcus Bonfanti
Tim Allen
I’ve just received my new EP back from being mastered, which is quite exciting… Hopefully if it’s ready by 2nd November, I’ll have a few copies of it with me!
Cheers
Tom

Having a good time down in Exeter. Last night went to the Exeter Phoenix arts centre to check out the originally Totnes-based cabaret phenomenom which is Wondermentalist. It was a great evening, full of a variety of weird and wonderful acts, mostly performance-poetry related. Highly recommended!
I’m playing at the Exeter Phoenix this afternoon from 1.30pm, in the terrace / cafe area, as part of the Exeter Respect festival. It’s also going out on 106.8 FM in the Exeter and www.phonic.fm worldwide… The event is free.
See you later,
Tom

Hey! I’m playing in Haworth Park, Hull, this Saturday 3rd May — then at Ripon Beer Festival, Ripon Cathedral, on bank holiday Monday 5th May. Check out my myspace page for more details on these two events!
After that - Kro Bar, Manchester on 10th May with Jon Gomm is going to be a great gig I think - more details on that soon! And straight after that, off to New York and Atlanta, for the Mahoneyfest - can’t wait!

I’m playing in a pirate-themed bar on Friday, 11th January… It’s the Hark to Towler in Tottington. Drinks are pretty cheap, and it’s free entry… always a good night there!
Check out their (colourful!) website for details: http://www.hark2towler.co.uk/ It’s dead easy to get from Manchester to the bar by public transport too!
