Happy New Year

Thanks for all your encouragement and support over the last twelve months, and there’s lots to look forward to in 2015 – not least the debut of The Broonzies, Jez’s new collaboration with Rod Clements, Ian Thompson, Maggie Holland and Chris Parkinson, who have their first gig scheduled at Hexham’s Queen’s Hall on January 15th. The new band are rehearsing near Newcastle right now – see photo – and more shows are expected to be added to their schedule in the weeks ahead (Broadstairs and South Downs festivals are already confirmed.) The Broonzies website is at www.broonzies.weebly.com. Jez has solo gigs lined up in January, starting in Lincoln on January 3rd.
