As previousy reported, Jez is now working on songs for the new BBC Radio Ballads, to be broadcast next summer – and in fact he previewed a new song earmarked for the series at his solo gig in Scotland earlier this week, we hear!! THAT was certainly a surprise… Jez is back on the Irish Music Cruise in early February… A New Zealand / Australia tour is ON for for February and March, with some dates for NZ to be announced as soon as next week… It’s hoped that the All Along The Wall cast will be coming back together for festival appearances in July… Jez will be back at La Grand Gennerie in France for a week of songwriting workshops during the summer… A solo tour of the US and Canada is already being set up for October… And plans are afoot to resume The BIG Bad Pennies at UK festivals next year!
