Don't doubt your power! I'd be nowhere without this phenomenon. (And I'm releasing something new for the holiday season in a few weeks, and I'm hoping to harness it again...)

Turns out when I'm full of cold, my ADHD medication doesn't work & my brain is full of squirrels. It's so difficult to play that way, I don't know how I ever did it. No wonder life was so stressful
Thanks for getting me through it Leeds! You made it glorious fun

Telepathy - A song from when my bad mental health messed up my ability to communicate with the people I love. Might take it for a spin on Sunday night in Leeds (the song not the bad mental health)

Wukan Motorcycle Kid from my album Secrets Nobody Keeps. A eulogy for the Siege of Wukan in 2011, when a village in China rose up against authoritarianism
I got the sanxian-esque sound by wedging a pick through some of the strings. (Tab at jongomm dot com)

The Kate Bush bit in Everything, from my album Secrets Nobody Keeps, live in Montreux. I love dropping quotes from other songs into my own songs, it's like dialling between radio stations

I skipped school a lot. People think atypical teenagers are being different on purpose to be cool. But you're not even cool, you're viewed with suspicion, or even bullied
I'd hide in music stores. Everyone is a musician, so it's chatting on easy mode. I go to them like old fellas go to barber shops

Sometimes I look at a photo and I can't tell if I'm playing a song or tuning up for the next one
Anyway, I LOVE HARMONIA CORDIS! Thank you everyone in Transylvania for the amazing few days of music

What is a "guitar clinic"? Nobody knows, which means I can choose to believe it's a gig but in between songs the audience can ask me ANY QUESTION THEY LIKE. Some of my favourite past questions:
"Can you play guitar normally" (yes)
"Have you lost your shoes" (no)
"Is ADHD a super power" (I wish)

I'm going back to Hersbruck Guitar Festival this weekend. Here's a photo from last time I was there in 2017, mostly of Wilma (now retired). No idea what's written on my hand, probably hotel room number #adhd

Never thought I could host my own guitar camp. My ADHD brain will probably never be able to organise anything (it was run by Natasha Koczy, Thomas Leeb & @robbarnaville.bsky.social). But I can trust myself that I'll handle being sociable now, being calm when I'm tired. And look what that's worth.

My family just got this much bigger. An unforgettable week of connection through these magical wooden boxes of joy called guitars. Very lucky to have had such an amazing collection of characters for the first ever UK Acoustic Bootcamp. Bring on next year!

I love not understanding something, it's like standing on the cliff-edge of your own knowledge. You can turn back to the safety behind you. Or you can jump into the abyss...

If you've seen me live recently, you might have seen a laptop on stage with me. After many (many) years using effects pedals, I decided to take the plunge and go FULL CYBORG.

As someone whose own neuro-jazziness can leave me feeling isolated, to be able to make this connection with people through music is, well, it gives my past meaning and my future purpose, basically.
Thank you to everyone who came to a gig on the UK tour. I feel a bit lost now it's over

Dragged @therealmckee.bsky.social out into the audience for an unplugged encore last night. I'll never forget it. A truly great guitar player, and a true friend.
