Check with venues if you
intend to travel far - occasionally events get cancelled at short notice. The
gig diary is usually up to date if you want to check my availability for
bookings. I am happy to do more than one engagement on the same day if times and
miles allow. I am able to get someone to deputise for me for my radio shows
which are also listed here.
