HAPPY NEW YEAR from St Ives…
Happy Solstice everyone. It marks the end of the busiest Autumn of my life. A Leveret tour, a Jon Boden tour, a TV soundtrack, a Bellowhead tour, two albums and the final Fiddle Technique Week at Halsway Manor.
Time for rest now and a significantly quieter 2025. Time to think about the future!

A low moment on the Bellowhead tour… 8:50pm, ten minutes before the final gig of the tour in Cambridge and my nose was POURING with blood. Luckily our brilliant TM Jenny was so helpful and it stopped with two mins to go! Was slightly less bouncy than usual that gig… 😬

Bellowhead is the most magical thing. It’s always like returning home 🥲 it’s playing the music I adore with my second family. Thank you Bellowhead. You’re all stunning and I love you.
Now to wash my rank smelly clothes, rest my achey legs and sleep for a few weeks.
See you all soon 😘

That’s the Bellowhead tour finished. Hard to sum it up but firstly THANK YOU if you came along to party with us. It was the happiest tour I can remember doing.
The audiences (32,000+ of you) were so great and our crew were beyond brilliant. They work unbelievably hard to make the show what it is.
