27/01/12: Back on stage in Feb 2012!

Hello old and new friends

Im back home in Joburg after a month long tour through South Africa. Lize Wiid and I took to the road in our new tour mini van (as I like to call it!) and stopped off at many intimate and unusual venues. There are so many places that I dont know about and with every tour I feel like I have just uncovered a secret door to yet another place where music lovers gather to listen to music. 

People were so kind to us on the road. There's nothing like arriving at a venue you haven't played before and meeting the people who keep music alive in small towns and big cities alike. 

I must say that as good as it is to get on the road, its equally as good to get back home. I've taken the last two weeks to do pretty much very little! I've picked up my guitar, written to old friends and enjoyed my own bed. I've thrown out loads of old scraps of paper from last year (I seem to specialise in these) and uploaded my tour photos on to facebook. It only now feels like a new year and we're already almost in month 2!

I'm back on stage in February, and it will be wonderful to play again after this month long break. 

So, here is where you can catch me in Feb:

12 FEB-…
