A belated Happy New Year to everyone!
Good news! I'm back in the studio in Shepherds Bush again, recording a new album with my brother Mike and son Morgan. It has a more ethnic feel than previous recordings; with several songs co-written by Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains; who all play on one of the tracks.
