“Smitten by the Written” Radio Interview
During the radio interview aired last week on CJSF’s “Smitten by the Written,” I mention an early photograph of me holding my first guitar. OK, it wasn’t taken in the bathroom as I’d previously thought, but in the living room of the family home in Derby, England. The photo may well have been shot by my grandmother who had a habit of cutting off the tops of everyone’s heads because she thought the flash bulb sticking out of the top of the camera was the viewfinder (anyone who owned a 110 camera will know what I’m talking about). And check out that 70s carpet!
Any way, thanks to K.P. Wee for inviting me for the interview, which can be streamed here.

Coverage of the weekend’s events can be found at the Long Beach Radio Web Log.

Taking Tofino by Storm
This Friday I’ll be loading the family into the van and heading over to Tofino to perform on the opening day of the Pacific Rim Whale Festival. The Festival marks the official kick-off of the whale-watching season, and the area from Tofino to Uclulet will be abuzz with events and activities from Saturday 17th until Sunday 25th March. On Saturday 17th I’ll be performing at Tofino Community Hall for the “Taste of Tofino” Community Market, which starts at 12:30pm. Then, later that evening at 9:00pm, I’ll be putting on a show at Dockside Waterfront Pub. Please check the “Gigs” page for more details, and happy St. Paddy’s Day!

Crowdfunding Article
With just over 30 days remaining, the Songwriters Association of Canada has picked up on my crowdfunding project and asked me to write an article about it.
The idea of crowdfunding is not new. In fact, it is common for anyone launching a new venture to “begin at home” when securing initial support and uptake of services. I liken it to mowing lawns when I was a lad; I’d start off by doing it for my dad for a bit of loose change and, before long, I’d be cutting grass for the neighbours… read more.
