First off i wanna thank each and every one of you who came to see me and the band at The Jazz Cafe on Friday. An amazing audience to play for and so much great feedback from you all. Such a great start to the year, i got alot planned for 2012…

I know the gig page is looking a little empty right now but we are currently booking a UK tour for April and as soon as its confirmed dates will be going up so keep watching the website or even better sign up to the mailing list at the top of the page, it only takes a second…

There will also be a new album this year as well as a few trips into Europe and beyond so hopefully i’ll see you all somewhere out on the road.

Next show is at The Forum in Hatfield on 19th January then down in Hayling Island on the 20th so maybe see you there…

Until next time
Marcus

After a really great 2011 me and the boys will be kicking off 2012 at the fantastic Jazz Cafe in Camden, London.
If your New Years Eve didnt go according to plan or you decided that you were gonna steer clear of the crowds and save it all for the weekend after then this is the gig for you. I will be announcing some special guests that will be joining me in the coming weeks too. Keep watching the website or even better signup to the mailing list and receive updates that way.

Tickets can be bought in advance here – http://venues.meanfiddler.com/jazz-cafe/full-listings/featured-gigs/5568

Have a very happy Christmas and see you all in the New Year!

The fantastic Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes (one of the hippest places i’ve been to in London) is starting a twice weekly blues night every 2nd Thursday of the month.

The house band are The Whiskey Mules featuring myself & Paddy Milner, with Scott Wiber and Alex Reeves on bass & drums. Each month there will be a special guest appearing with us and we got some real great guests lined up…
The first night (25th August) sees us joined by The Coalminers. Great friends of mine and a real killin New Orleans inspired band containing some of the finest musicians i’ve ever had the pleasure of playing with. It’s shaping up to be a great night.

Anywhere you can listen to the blues, eat a massive cheese burger and bowl a few frames without havin to get on a plane and cross the Atlantic is a good place in my book and thats exactly what Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes is.

For more information on the night please visit - www.facebook.com/pages/Bloomsbury-Blues/244149642275288

Hope to see you all down there soon…
