Last concerts of 2023 into 2024

Just a handful of concerts left this year, including shows in Cologne, Essen, Berlin, Dresden and finally Stuttgart and Freiburg. Still a couple of free dates left for simple shows - if you can help or offer something please drop me an email here.

I start 2024 with a little show in Hamburg and then 2 free nights for anywhere between there and Aachen…

It goes on, let’s see.

Thanks all

'Gelegenheiten' Berlin show cancelled - looking for replacement.

Apparently my Berlin show, fixed back in January and reconfirmed by the venue last week has to be cancelled. I have been told another event is planned for my concert date and they won't honour the original plan with me.

I've played there 7 times and always had a lovely time there. The last was back in 2019 and full and fun so I was obviously happy to be going back. Now I am looking for another Berlin show as my travel is fixed.

Can anyone in town help with a simple show somewhere? A house concert perhaps? Or can simply offer to host me for a night or two?

Would be for the 05.10.23 and / or 06.10.23

Otherwise I skip Berlin for now and try for something some other time.

Hmm.

FREITAL II

My recording from my concert at the Spielbühne in Freital, Germany on the 4th of November 2022 is available through Bandcamp and on Patreon now.

The download is free / pay what you like and the simple, CD-r + download edition is limited to just 50 numbered copies and is €10 plus postage. I’ll send them out when I'm back from some concerts in a week and they look like this:

This was a long concert over 2 sets and I cut some tracks from the recording due to some issues with the signal I had from the mixing desk. I also played a couple of songs in the room which are missing, you can imagine.

Anyway, it runs like this - just about squeezing onto a single CD-r.

When I Was Away
The Royal Canal
Here Comes Your Son
Work With This
We Could Have, We Should Have, We Didn’t
Blind Willie McTell (Bob Dylan)
The Ghost Is The Only One That Beats My Drum
Paper Birds
Here
The Hills Are Alive
We Swam A Little Song
Super Good Advice
Leave Well Alone

Perhaps there’s more from this special show I can share too but I’ve been fairly sick since the show so my concentration and productivity isn’t what it could be. I’m hopefully on the mend.
