9th May 2009: Hi everyone,

I figured it was time to give you a rundown of my activities in recent past and future.

I have been doing my usual haunt of shows with Paul Leegan & The Legends under our new tour format PUTTING ON THE STYLE - The 50s Rock 'n' Roll & Skiffle Revival... having a great time as Paul has allowed me my own 50 minute set to open the show. Naturally this gives me chance to show case my favorite songs and also front the band a lot more and of course adds to the variety of the concert.

I have started doing some work on an adhoc basis with Roger Dean and his touring show The Johnny Cash Story... I've only done a few gigs but I can say these guys are a talented bunch and I do hope opportunities continue to arise for me to work more often with them. I would recommend ANYONE who likes the music of Cash should get along and see this show; it is fantastic and very insightful into the life of a huge legend in our lifetime.

All in all it has been an eventful 6 months and exceptionally fun with I hope much more to come...

Hope to see you all on the road

Warren James
