Okay that’s maybe a bit of an overstatement, but I am being interviewed on BBC radio Leicester this Wednesday morning at 10.40am. They have asked me to come along and talk about my music life.
So, if you listen in, you may even get a mention if we have done anything musical together.

Saturday 30th of July was my 3rd time of playing at the ‘Friends of the Leicester Samaritans’ (SAMS) Beer Festival in Leicester. This is definitely one of my favourite gigs of the year and to keep being asked back each year is a real buzz.
They have a long weekend of live music, great local food and stacks of Real Ales, Ciders and Wine and as if thats not enough Pimms aplenty.
My session was a 2 hour set in the small hall playing some jazz, pop, blues and rock tunes, and seemd to be well received by everyone with loads of singing along to some of the tunes.
The aim is to raise as much as possible to keep this truly vital service running. This I believe has been a record year with over £4000 towards the funds.
I will keep you updated as to next years events as I have been asked back again.
Thanks to Lance and his team for making me feel welcome and for the beer tokens!! See you next year.

The 24th of July was a busy day for the guys from Folk Foundation. In the morning Hiten and Trust played 2 sets for the wedding ceremony and another part of the celebrations, playing Sitar and Tabla. I joined them in the early evening for the wedding reception At Haslington Hall.
We entertained the Bride and Groom and their guests for 2 hours with a mixture of traditional Indian music, Bollywood, pop and Jazz, which all went down well with everyone.
It’s always nice when you get enquiries about new gigs and this time we spoke to 2 groups of people about their functions.

The opening of the new wine bar mentioned in the last post has been delayed for a couple of weeks, but on Monday evening they hosted a private party at which I provided the entertainment. This was in the former of background music and me playing 3 sets. The venue is great, nice and cosy with a great ambience. I am looking forward to playing on a regular basis there.
This afternoon was my regular session at Sibbertoft Manor residential home, entertaining the residents. This is a great gig for me as I have made some good friends there and enjoy playing for everyone.

Hi Folks
I just wanted to wish every one a happy and healthy new year for 2016.
2015 was a good year for me, with a record number of gigs played over the last 12 months. This included joining up with the guys from Folk Foundasian ( Folk Foundasian sax trio ) which has been a really good experience and a great learning curve for me.
I have played at some lovely venues this year including Langar Hall in Nottingham, Curradine Barns in Shrawley, a 50th wedding anniversary party in Portsmouth and Hinckley Classis car show to name but a few.
The new year starts with more confirmed gigs in the diary than ever before, and lots of projects in the pipeline, including starting work on recording a cd.
If you would like to chat about any events that you have coming up, then please drop me a line and I will come back to you as soon as possible.
Best wishes
Dave

I spent the afternoon of Sunday the 20th September providing some of the entertainment at the Hinckley Classic Car Show, Leicestershire.
This event is organised by the Hinckley BID (Business improvement District) along with the Council and the Town Centre Partnership, with the aim of promoting Hinckley Town Centre.
There were 500 classic cars, Motorbikes and Scooters taking over the whole of the town centre with competitions andd displays for everyone to enjoy. They had a commentator walking around town talking to the owners and finding out about their vehicles and this was relayed over the tannoy system so that everyone could hear.
They had a jazz band playing first and they sounded very good. Nice and laid back music. I followed and played for a couple of hours in the afternoon sunshine.
I had various people come up for a chat and four enquiries about future events, including one from the Humber Car Owners Club for their open day next year.
I even had 2 couples jiving away enthusiastically to Johnny be Good, which is always nice to see.
I wanted to say thank you to Mr Jonathon White of the Hinckley BID for inviting me to enjoy the day with them.
Its certainly a good day out and nice to see people that are proud of their town.
