Hi Everyone,
Well I suppose everyone is well rested after the holidays, back to work and here we are, second month into a New Year.
I've had some real highlights in January.
I was invited to be one of the Guests for the Marton Country Music Festival and had an awesome time.
This is a very well Festival and they had a great line up of Entertainers and Top Bands.
The audience were great and I've already booked my bed for next year.  I really loved it.
 
On Monday 25th January, Brian Ringrose and I did a spot on the Festival of Lights at Pukekura Park in New Plymouth.
All I can say was WOW WOW WOW.  What a beautiful spot and it was so much fun sharing the stage with Brian.
They estimated there were about 800 people there.  Our spot was from 8.00 p.m. - 9.30p.m. so half way through it was so dark we couldn't see anything accept for the beautiful trees all lite up in the background.
This was a highlight gig for both of us.
Brian and I also did shows in Te Awamutu and Tauranga.
 
I've got the Cambridge Market,  Sunday 14th February then I'm heading down to Taradale RSA for one of my Country, Nostalgia & War Years Shows.  This will be Tuesday 16th February.  Starts at 1.30 p.m.  $8.00 cover charge.
They have excellent meals available at the club prior to the show so let your friends now if you're in the area and come on down.
 
Wednesday 17th February, I'll be at the Gisborne RSA.  My good mate and local radio announcer 'The Wizz' has helped me organise it.
The club is selling tickets $10.00.  This is not a concert, it'll be a bitzer.  Bit of everything I think, so if you want to put your dancing shoes on, that'll be great.  Starting time is 7.00 p.m.
 
I've got a stint coming up at the Hamilton Casino.  This will be a big first for me.
It will be on Thursday 25th February at the DECK BAR.  This is for the Kiwi Pro-Am Association so please come along and support them (and me)  This is a whole new kettle of fish for me !!!!!
I'll be singing (just Country) from 8.00 - 10.00 p.m.
 
I have organised afternoon entertainment at the Hamilton RSA on Tuesday 2nd March @ 1.30 p.m.
All welcome.  There is a $5.00 cover charge.
This is a nice opportunity to get out for an afternoon, maybe a wee dance around the dance floor.
Just a nice sociable afternoon, great food at the club and a few drinkies.
 
I'm heading down to the South Island for the Hokonui Country Music Festival on the 6th/7th March.
I'm really looking forward to getting back down that way.  It's been a few years.
I'll be spending a couple of nights with my good friend Ngarita and she has kindly offered to help me organise a Country, Nostalgia & War Years Show in Balclutha.
This will be held on Tuesday 9th March at the Clutha Country Music Clubrooms, Balclutha @ 1.30 p.m.  $8.00 cover charge.
 
From there I will be heading back to Christchurch to spend some time with Brian Ringrose working on this new album of mine.
 
I have my second Country Nostalgia & War years show coming up at the Pukekohe Concert Chambers on Wednesday 7th April
1.30 p.m. start and $8.00 cover charge.  I'll be singing some of these great old songs off this new album.
 
I've been invited to perform at the Arrowtown Autumn Festival in April so that's certainly something to look forward to.
 
Anyway, keep checking out the website for updates of events.  I have lots of great ideas (probably less energy than I need to put them together.)
If you have anything coming up that I could be useful for, please feel free to get in touch.
I want to get around as much of the North Island as I can this year.  I really want to go back down to the Wellington area.
 
BY THE WAY:  Shirley May from the Bay Of Islands Country Rock Festival contacted me a couple of days ago to say that everything is fine.  ALL venues are on board (Yes, including Copthorne)
It's going to be an awesome Festival.  They have got alot of great artists this year including our own
EDDIE LOW.  Have a look at the website for more details.  It's gonna be a cracker.
Thanks to everyone who wrote to either Shirley or myself in support of the Festival and Copthorne.
We appreciate it.  Please support the venues. www.country-rock.co.nz
 
That's all for now.  Stay safe and happy and I'll catch you in my travels.
