September 2011 >
This month brings the Kings Place festival (on the 10th September).
I'm there with two of my projects: A duo with pianist Nicholas Durcan playing the sublime music of the late, great Ron Littlefield and my trio with Naadia Sheriff and Chris Allard playing(/singing) standards, original compositions and a couple of early Nat Cole arrangements. It will be a great gig and it's FREE!...hope to see you there.
And, if you happen to be around Saffron Walden at the end of the month, the trio are playing a charity concert at the lovely Holy Trinity Church in Littlebury.
One of the July highlights has got to be the irrepressible Bushey Band with special guests galore including the wonderful Tina May (I'll be singing a couple of duets with her!!) add strings and things and you have all the ingredients of a fantastic evening. There are also a couple of free foyer gigs; the Royal Opera House and the Barbican. See the gigs page for all the details.
June is an exciting month for the David Gordon trio "Speaks Latin!" project with a special collaboration with Cambridge based group Zero Gravity at Fitzwilliam College towards the end of the month (see the gigs page for details).
Nice bit of feedback from our Kent gig too: "We were very privileged to have such a wonderful Trio performing for us...your enthusiasm was infectious...everyone enjoyed the evening; some said they went home feeling that they were saying goodbye to friends and many said they hoped that they would have the opportunity to hear you again..."

Here's a little taster...
November 2010 >
A composition of mine (Griffin And Sabine) from my 'Trio' (click) CD is being used on the Channel 4 program 'The Secret Millionaire'.
My drummer-less trio in concert, with Naadia Sheriff (piano) and Chris Allard (guitar), was recorded and filmed on the 28th. It was a great evening; Naadia and Chris both outdoing their usual brilliance with particularly nice versions of 'Larme Chaude' and 'It's All Over My Friend'.
Keep an eye out for new clips on this site and at some point in the not too distant future a vocal album of my songs
