2008 PJ gigs

23 Aug     Roots Festival   Southsea Pier (PJ solo; afternoon)

LITTLE JOHNNY ENGLAND, having found its stunning new drummer, Mark Stevens, is slowly emerging from a three-year rest. Earlier this year we tested the water (had everyone forgotten us?) with a short tour of Posh Folk Clubs (BBC Radio 2 award-winners all) in our 3-piece acoustic form. The response was fantastic, lots of old friends (and a few new) turned up to Birmingham's Red Lion, Hitchin, Dartford, Esher and Nettlebed, where we tried out the full electric team with Mark and Miranda (you can remove the ear-plugs now Mike). In April, my Birthday Bash at Banbury's Mill Theatre confirmed our suspicions and we consequently decided to get more gigs in 2009 (never easy, everyone's all over the place with other people!). We have two appearances listed below.
