This page contains details of all forthcoming performances worldwide, together with reviews where they exist from previous concerts.

Tours
The One a Month Tour 2010
Although I have stopped the long touring, I do enjoy getting up on stage and playing and have really enjoyed the one man shows with the piano that I have done at a few Arts Festivals over the last couple of years and to this end have decided to "tour" in the UK next year performing just 12 shows - one a month!
If you are in the area of any of the first three shows and would like a promotional poster to display, you can download one from here.
