Well, the shows page is updated, not much happening at the moment as I've been concentrating on the album. All has been handed over to the guys at Black and Tan Records, so now I wait. Heading off around Spain on some guitar session gigs now, but will have an acoustic with me, so will hopefully start writing some new material.
As usual, your suppost is appreciated greatly and I thank you muchly.
26th June 2011
I really must apologise for not keeping my gig calender up to date! I have been so busy with the new album that it keeps getting stuck at the bottom of the pile. Also I've been doing a lot of session gigs with other bands which I don't tend to announce here as it gets confusing and people turn up expecting to hear my songs. I promise to update as soon as I get a minute, but in the meantime, please follow me on Facebook or Twitter (see links top right) for gig announcements.
Other news, since the "Soundclouder of the day" thing, I have gained nearly 4000 followers on Soundcloud and will be using the platform to launch the new album when it's ready.
Have a great week. DP :)

Haven't been updating the site much lately as I've been writing and recording the 2nd album. I just finished recording today and now I'm going out for some food and a decent beer (I always try and lay off the alcohol when I'm doing a lot of singing.) Starting mixing tomorrow. Watch this space!

I'm now working on the new album for Black and Tan records. It will be a mainly solo, acoustic record, stripped down to the bare bones allowing the songs, voive and guitar playing to come through to the forefront. I'll keep you informed. Thanks DP
