Lots of updates since my last post below. Thank you so much for following me here; I really appreciate the interest/support and there’s more interesting content and links to what I’m up to musically coming this year.
Gabriel Moreno
In April I’m touring for the album launch of Gabriel Moreno’s latest release – Nights In The Belly Of Bohemia. Click on his name above to see all about that. Dates include April 2nd at Jamboree in London and locally at The Crownhouse Hastings on April 10th.
This exceptional singer and songwriter at least as magical live as on recordings. Come to the gigs, buy a signed album there, feel wealthier.
This an exciting project with local singer Chrysta Jones and guitarist Tony White. We performing good time classics such as How Long?, Preacher Man and It’s Too Late, all of which can be found on our playlist at https://open.spotify.com/playlist/27Ljk0xSlINKo3uorl5Gp5?si=e1dc475197e247fb .
The band’s name inspired by the spectacular sunsets that our hometown of Hastings offers and as such a Sunday afternoon our sweetspot gig – though others days and times also available if looking to book us! :-)))))) We’ll be adding ourselves to the usual socials soon with our next local Hastings gig June 1st 2025 (and yes, that’s a Sunday afternoon!), venue tbc shortly 🙂
Rhythm Section
This instrumental quartet of me on keys with percussionist Phil, guitarist Sean, and bassist Barry working towards some local Hastings summer gigs playing latin and jazz inspired familars and originals such as Oye Como Va.
I just finished performing with this Samba outfit at Mardis Gras w/e here in Hastings and a joy. We paraded through the streets both days ending up performing at White Rock Theatre Sunday pm (see photo below), I part of the Caixa Troupe! Click on their name above for info. Next gigs Jack In The Green and possibly my own event The Hastings DGR.
I continue playing accordion for Morris Side Rheda’s Dream. Next gigs for Jack In The Green Saturday May 3rd and Monday May 5th. Click the link above for details.
Music Teaching
I continue teaching in local Hastings schools 3 days a week. Piano, drum-kit, guitar, ukulele. Private tuition remains available for anyone interested, teaching the above and also accordion and percussion. I also provide exam support for GCSE and A level Music with a 100% pass rate for my students.
Bongo Barney
This my DJ alter-ego and I’m running a new club session this Easter Sunday for this. See flyer below for details and COME! 🙂 x
So! That’s a fair bit of musical business to be getting on with!
I hope to see you at some or preferably ALL of my next musical outings!
