And I've had his 13th July gig at the Famous Willows, Arundel in my diary for yinks. He's a "don't dare miss" for me whenever he's playing in my vicinity. Top, top player, singer, writer, interpreter and good bloke.

I can't quite understand some of the stuff on this thread: how can he be accused of not networking when he's a regular guest with Show of Hands, still gigs with Joyce Gang, plays out solo, is an in-demand session player, etc.?

I'll ask him when I see him in Arundel, but I wonder if it was more of a throw-away line? Sort of "Yeah, I'd like more solo gigs" but I can't help feeling that if it was a real problem, he's been around long enough to know how to self-promote.
