Juliet will playing a short set at this ball on 27th March in the Europa Hotel, Belfast. If you wish to sponsor a table, please contact Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland. A very worthwhile cause and a posh night out.

Juliet plays the Cherrytree, Walkinstown on 6th March. please see tour dates for booking information and details on up-coming gigs.

Juliet plays the Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre on 2nd Jan 2010 with guitarist Brian Grace

It’s an honour for me that the wonderful songwriter B.A. Robertson is joining me for the gig in Strule Arts Centre on 30th December. B.A. is perhaps best known for writing the beautiful “The Living Years” which was a huge hit for Mike and the Mechanics, has accumulated more than 70 silver, gold, and platinum record awards and continues to write and perform.

Due to flu, this gig has been postponed. Apologies to all ticket holders. The gig will be rescheduled at a later date.

Universal Records are releasing an album of poetry readings set to classical music on 16th November for National Poetry Day in the UK. The album is called “Words For You”. I mention it because the British actor Geoffrey Palmer is one of the readers and although it might sound gushing, I LOVE him. And also because all of the royalties are going towards the UK communication charity I CAN who work with children who have speech, language and communication difficulties. This could make a great Christmas present.

The UK tour is nearly over, two more gigs in Basingstoke tonight and Leicester tomorrow night. It’s been great touring with Yvonne and Gentry and I had a chance to play some venues I’ve not played before like the Cellars last night in Southsea. We recorded the show in Brighton, thanks to Paul Burton for his work there and we hope to release the live show in some form before Christmas. It will be available through all our websites so make sure you are on the mailing list for up-dates.

I have added some new gigs in Lynch’s Bar in Tullamore on the 30th Oct and in the Spirit Store in Dundalk on the 27th November. Please see the gig guide for booking details. Thanks to everyone who came to the UK shows, bought cds, left comments on the website and who generally supported the live music and a huge thank you to our booking agent and general helpful person Jonathan Johnson and to the lovely Napier family who allowed us all to invade their houses, sleep on sofas and drink their tea over the last three weeks.

DISTRESSING NEWS -Gentry Morris under cloud of suspician after being accused of pilfering seven wooden coat hangers from a certain hotel in Bilston. Yvonne and I wondered why Gentry’s body had looked so oddly angular during the last few days but we thought he had developed rickets on a Burger King tour diet. However following an email from our hotel in Bilston demanding an explanation for the disappearance of seven hangers from his room, it all becomes clear. He has those seven coat hangers secreted about his person and plans to sell them on e-bay when he returns to Ireland.A hanger is probably worth more than a cd these days anyway. Just be careful if you want a hug with your signed cd.

Just gearing up to go on stage in Aberdeen at the Lemontree after driving up from Berwick. We had a very intimate gig in Barrells Alehouse last night, completely unplugged after a couple of easy days mooching around the town. We went along to the beer and food festivals, drank some whisky cider, visited the old-fashioned sweetie shop and bought some Fisherman’s Friends for old time’s sake. We’re settling into the set nicely, Gentry is scooping up accolades from everywhere and being told that he sounds like a young Jackson Browne and Yvonne ’s new album “Ashes and Gold” was given five stars by Maverick Magazine. Me, I am enjoying sitting on the end of the line and singing harmonies.

We have been driving a LOT the last while – Troon to Norwich, Norwich to York, York to berwick, Berwick to Aberdeen and the next journey is Aberdeen to Wolverhampton – Yikes. Driving is made easier by the fact that the three of us share the driving and we pass the time by listening to Roald Dahl audiobooks – “James and the Giant Peach” and “The BFG”. Tonight, we’re going to start Yvonne on Harry Potter, she’s never read any of the books. It’s not rock’n'roll but it keeps her from snorting lines of coke in the back seat when Gentry and I are not watching.

More anon…

There still seems to be some confusion on the gigs listings. There is NO gig in the Grey horse in Kingston on the 20th, the gig is the Cabbage Patch Pub. See details on the tour gig above. Also, I am not playing in the Slaughtered Lamb in London, this was briefly on the list but is not happening now. Hope this clears matters up.
