Roses Are Red, Cats Are Blue...

...and to all the folks who were at the show on Saturday night, a huge THANK YOU!

I really enjoyed playing the show at the Blue Cat this weekend, and I hope you all enjoyed listening.

I'm thankful to have had a lovely audience, and especially thankful to those of you who came out especially to see me. :) I'm still very new to Manchester, and so seeing a few familiar faces really meant a great deal. Hope to see you again soon!

Interview On ALL FM Today

Hey folksies I'm on the radio again this afternoon with Ursula on her Drive Time show at ALL FM. She'll be interviewing me and playing some tracks from the new album. We're on at 5:30pm GMT (12:30pm EST).

You can listen online or at 96.9 FM in South, Central, and East Manchester.

Gig @ Blue Cat Cafe

Hey folkies. So I booked my first show in the Manchester area. Saturday 4th July 9:00pm at the Blue Cat Cafe.

But first a story!

(I love this one...)

So my partner John, who is English, was in attendance some years ago at a Fourth of July party in Princeton, New Jersey. (He was in it for the food and fireworks.)

Someone actually came up and asked him, "Do they celebrate July 4th in England?"

No, seriously. It happened.

He replied, ever so droll, "Yes. We call it Thanksgiving."

After which he narrowly avoided an unexpected dip in the pool.

Anyway, so nooooooooooo, the upcoming gig is just coincidentally on the fourth, and it's not a 'Fourth of July' gig other than that, obviously, it's on the fourth. Of July. Just thought I should put that out there, me being kind of the token American and all.

Back to the gig: I'm going on as a supporting act at 9:00pm - the lineup that night includes Kid 4077 and The Yellhounds. If you're local, come and listen! :) The deets:

Interview On ALL FM Is *Next* Week

Hey so this afternoon I was at the studio at ALL FM doing an acoustic session and an interview for the Anything Goes Breakfast Show with Fiona - but actually, due to some technical issues, the interview is going to air next Thursday 25 June - not tomorrow morning.

ALL FM will be playing some of my music on the show tomorrow morning, so do listen if you can, but the interview will air next week.

P.S. I had a great time with Fiona and it should be a lot of fun to listen to!

I'm Out There...

...And I'm lovin' every minute of it!

Yes, it's a beautiful sunny afternoon in Manchester and I'm channeling Cosmo Kramer. Stranger things have happened on a Tuesday.

Over the past couple of weeks I have been venturing out into the open mic scene here, checking out new venues, meeting new people, and having a lot of fun making music. You may have seen or heard me (and ideally both though I'm very small you know) at Trof Northern Quarter, Trof Fallowfield, the Deaf Institute, and the Blue Cat Cafe.

I'm also on the airwaves on a couple of radio stations this week:

Please give a listen to Maia's Show on WCNI radio today 16 June from 9:00am - 12:00pm EST. (That's right now! Listen quick!) You can listen online or at 90.9 FM in New London, Connecticut.



And, this Thursday 18 June from 9:00am - 10:00am GMT, tune in to ALL FM's Anything Goes Breakfast Show with Fiona for some tunes and an interview with yours truly. You can listen online or at 96.9 FM in South, Central, and East Manchester.
