Hi ..... well, just goes to show .... I'm not a great guitarist, but cos I've helped a young guy to learn ..and got him hooked on Joe, his dad's bought tickets for the three of us to see Satch in Manchester, UK tomorrow night 20th July !!! I can't wait !!

Hi Joe . hi everyone.

I'm no great guitarist, but cos I have helped and encouraged a young guy to play and got him hooked on Joe .. his dads bought us tickets to see him tonight in Manchester, UK .. I'm choked up !!

I was 40 on 14 July .... today is our wedding anniversary ... though my wife can't come cos we're expecting our first baby in October (through IVF) ... and tonight is the first time I've seen Joe live ... what a year !!!!

Oh well..... the new guitar I wanted for years has to come waaaaayy down the list after all this as I've got about 18yrs of poverty to come .... but I don't care now !

Great new album Joe ...... vive le arte !!
