Back on UK time.. considerations were made to write a blog travelling on a bullet train between marvelous destinations. But as always the scenery was too good to have a head in a phone.
The last UK gigs were the peerhat as the Dirt for Abbattoir blues and Bradfords Radical book fair for me solo in early September before we flew out.
And while out there as always times were busy. Meeting family, friends. Old an new. Seeing new places and feeling new experiences.
The 5 date tour with Matt Mcmanamon (Dead 60s) to conclude was fun. KYOYO TO TOKYO. Lots of great folk joined us along the way. And i got to collaborate with some takented musicisns from serious guitar loopers to traditional harmonica players.
So uk shenanigans..
