Yeap I love him too!!! Went to see him this year at a mini festival held organised on a farm in the peak district that he'd organised. It was great. Several bands, martin carthy, norma waterson and the smoke fairies included, rounded off by Richard Hawley for a coupe of hours! Fab!!!
Overnite camping, all that and Richard for £30!!! Will be looking out for it next year! He was great and it was a good old fashioned, low key, non corporate gig. Although I was put off the smoke fairies by watching them in a photo shoot trying to look whymsical whilst blowing a dandilion clock!!!

I really like his music. He lives nearby and we used to frequent the same wine bar, back in the day(s before children). Now see him at the local park every so often. Really nice guy, very talented.

His hook-ups with other musicians have produced some brilliant tracks as well - he did an album with Tony Christie which was a bit melancholy, but in a good way.
