Bless you all.

I'll be honest. I'd been worried about how I'd handle it, but you all (at all the gigs on the tour, in fact) made it so easy.

As for any comeback tour, I'm sure you understand that the problem is not finding time to do a few gigs, it's the need to commit months or even years ahead. Whatever I'm doing after the MA, it's likely that it'll be some sort of consultancy/freelance work and/or running a small green and/or TV business (the schools project has been abandoned through lack of interest in the Leeds area -lots elsewhere, but that's no good to me, sadly).

The diary HAS to stay flexible to permit short term filming/working/meetings etc anywhere in the country, or even the world.

But it's been a joyous ride - so thanks to all who've booked me, all who came to the gigs, all who bought my CDs, played tracks on the radio, signed up for RadioBritfolk, were nice to me on web forums, did sound for me, MCd, stewarded, came to workshops, learned my songs, and to all the wonderful musicians who helped, advised and inspired me, and specially those who stood along the front of the stage with me: Derek, John, Neil and Rod (in Slide), Chris Parkinson and Tony Taffinder (in the Pipers Sons) and the finest felon I could've fallen in with; Tom Napper.

love and 'bye for now

Tom
