Over the past ten-to-fifteen years, very well-sold/packed houses at gigs as diverse as Ronnie Scott's Club (London and Birmingham), The Queen's Hall (Edinburgh), The Acoustic Music Centre (Edinburgh), Southport Arts Centre, The City Hall (Glasgow), The Old Fruit Market (Glasgow), The Isle of Bute Folk Festival, Strathaven Folk Festival, Penicuik Folk Festival, Birmingham Town Hall, Traquair Fair, Aden Country Park have been grabbed by this striding talent of a blues writer and singer.
