September!

By Uncategorized

This year, September is starting a few days early.

It’s the nicest time of year to be in Albufeira. It’s hot, but it’s not deadly and all the people here are wonderful and seem to know each other.

It’s a great time for live music.

I’ll be in Steps EVERY NIGHT, Jack’s on Wednesdays & The Padel Club on Sundays.

See you at a gig soon…

Time off…

In August, I’ll be taking Mondays & Tuesdays off. It’s good to relax!

Back to it full time in September.

Meanwhile, I’ll be working on my tan.

The peak of the summer season. It’s hot & busy. The A/C is saving the day!

The gigs are great. I’m back in Albufeira Padel Club on Sundays. It’s a lovely outside gig to finish off the weekend.

September’s coming soon…

The Summer is well and truly in full swing. Busy gigs, hot days and cool nights.

I’m in Steps every night (except Wednesdays) from 10.

Jack’s on Wednesdays, from 4.

Camping Albufeira on Sundays, from 5.30.

My mate Pedro is doing my night off in Steps. He’s an excellent musician, and an old friend.

The summer begins…

This is my favourite time of year to be in The Algarve.

The weather has changed for the better. The gigs are great, and there’s a feeling around town that the summer is beginning.

I love having music as my job.

2025

I have lots going on this year. All good stuff!

I’ll be doing weekends in Steps from March (starting properly in April), Jack’s in the marina once a week, a few weddings and private functions, and there will be a Sunset Cruise in September.

Here’s to a great year!!

I wish everyone good health and lots of fun.

Christmas

It’s that time of year!! I love it.

It’s nice to chill out a bit and relax.

I’ll be back in Steps for a few nights, from the 29th. My mum will be with us, to celebrate Xmas and see in the new year.

We all know she’s more popular than me in my gigs!!

Have a wonderful Xmas, and a spectacular 2025!

The Winter.

By Uncategorized

So, the winter is almost here.

My gigs in Steps will just be weekends in November.

Jack’s will still be happening, as will The Padel Club.

Throughout November, I’ll also be playing in Sharky’s on Fridays from 2.

Some of the gigs will be weather permitting, because they’re outside. Please message me or call the venue to make sure.

The summer has been great. I’m looking forward to relaxing a bit.

8 days a week!

By Uncategorized

So… I’m doing 8 gigs a week. Sounds like a Beatles song!

Steps is brilliant, as always. Lovely people, a little bit mad (but in a good way). I use my big PA system here, and the sound is like putting on a warm coat in the winter!! The staff are excellent, and the beers are cold!!

Jack’s on Wednesday afternoon is a nice gig. It’s early (4pm), and has a very chilled out vibe going on. I think I’m catching people as they’ve just headed out!

The Padel Club reminds me so much of playing in Cullin’s Yard, Dover years ago. I love Sunday afternoon gigs. I can wear my sunglasses!!

See you at a gig soon…

We’re only in April, and the gigs are in full swing. After a long winter, it’s great to get back to it.

Steps is great and busy as always.

Jack’s on Wednesdays, I play before a band in the afternoon. It’s a really nice chilled out vibe.

The Padel Club has turned into a brilliant Sunday afternoon gig. As soon as I finish, it’s straight round to Steps for the evening.

I hope to see you at a gig soon. Here’s to a great summer.
