A FAVOUR, PERCHANCE?
Would you do me a huge favour? If you haven't already done so, would you subscribe to my YouTube channel? I've just become aware that when my channel gets 1,000 subscribers, a whole new world opens up to me, including, among other things, getting some payment for when my songs get played on YouTube. Who woulda thunk it! I've recently subscribed to the YouTube channel of a few of my friends and I can guarantee it only takes minutes and won't cost you a single penny. Just follow this LINK to my channel and hit the subscribe button. I will be very, very grateful! My current count, according to YouTube, is 690 subscribers. I'm SO close. I do thank you and am so appreciative for your help and support.

GUITAR "Q 'n A" - A NEW EVENT
I want to let you know about an upcoming event. I'm launching an event called GUITAR Q 'n A. The subject of the first one is Brooks' Blues Q 'n A. Come hang with me on TWITCH and let's talk about playing and singing acoustic blues. You ask the questions - via the little chat feature - I read your questions and try and sound intelligent in my responses. Bring your guitar and play along, try the riffs and rhythms I'll be showing you. It's happening on Wednesday, 26th August at 8pm London-time and will go for about a half hour, or perhaps a little more depending on how it goes.

     

OTHER NEWS
1) I've been using this time off the road to take a deep dive into writing out my songs. I've uploaded TAB/Notation, Lyrics/Chords to quite a few songs in recent week. Have a look here. The pdfs are free.
2) Here's two videos from the archive that we prepared for the 30th Anniversary Tour. Pianist Phil Richardson, who was meant to be on tour with me, and I filmed/recorded a version of Frank Delandry.  Another one is with fiddler Aaron Catlow. We, too, were meant to be on tour this year. One of our videos is of a song called Not Haunted Anymore. I've also been recording music from home. Here's a link to my guitar instrumental Little Lion.
