It is not a straightforward story because it hasn’t been a straightforward journey, and there have been wiggles twists turns and bits of serendipity and some other things I don’t think even I understand, so that all I can do is to tell you the story of what happened.

You can however consider joining my @patreon community if you want to help. If anyone’s going to get to see my bottom, it’s my patrons!

This is actually true of all the dates. So scary out there at the moment for all of us, and my bottom isn’t as nice as @katenash so I’d probably only get sixpence for mine (see Blackadder II).

Promotors in rural venues such as this one - Lazonby Village Hall - take big risks to put on artists that are new to venues and areas. I’m so grateful to them for this and I need your help to prove their faith in me.

I have not played Cumbria for years. I’m hereby putting out a klaxon call to all good people of the Lake District to please not only come, and get your tickets now, but to tell all your friends, bring your nan, and allow me and @jonthorneinsta to put you in an audial song bath for an hour or two.
