I was asked to play in the Performance Cafe at Greenbelt this year. I remembered the cafe from when I was last at Greenbelt but didn’t realise how much it had grown in size since then – not something that helped my nerves before going on…
I hugely enjoyed playing the gig and I couldn’t have hoped for a better atmosphere, crowd or response.
Thanks to everyone who came to hear me play and to Ed Richmond and Harvey Jessop for making it happen.
Steve Lawson was kind enough to take some photos. Here are some of them:

As you can see I was joined by my good friend Mark Hilditch on keyboards. He flew down earlier that day and flew back the next. I’m incredibly grateful he made the effort to be there, as not only does he add so much more to the songs, it’s also a lot more fun having someone else on stage with you.
The morning after the show Steve Lawson also recorded a short interview with me for Audioboo which you can hear here:
