Last September I played a mini two-date tour in Prague and Vienna. The show in Austria was filmed by an independent Pagan TV channel and they’ve now released the show on YouTube as two 10 minute videos. It was a great gig and I think they’ve managed to capture some of the magic of that [...]

On Monday night I went to the Archway Theatre in Horley to meet up with members of the Archway Theatre Youth group who are creating a show based around my music.
The foundation of the play is the three verses of Only Human with one character searching for more meaning in their life, another is working [...]

This one is the final song of the Spiral Dance set – the classic Burning Times. We had no rehearsal for this song, but I reckon it still rocks.
And another view of their version of Spirit of Albion.
It’s good to be back in the UK, but man [...]

Since I created Herne’s Apprentice the music industry has changed, I think for the better. The internet has been a curse to the traditional music industry, but a gift to independent musicians. Herne’s Apprentice, Hills they are Hollow and Spirit of Albion were all produced as CDs, but in 2006 they all became available on [...]

So it was that on the 10th October Cerri and I once more made our way around the M25 and headed northwards, this time towards Clee Hill in Shropshire to play at the third Serpent Festival. Clee Hill is famous for its association with serpents, so it was no surprise that, as well as musicians, [...]

Almost a month since I posted on the blog! I’ve had my head deep in recording mode – recording the last few songs, laying down the parts from the guest musicians, then mixing, and mastering, the new CD. I’ll post separately about that another time, but first let’s catch up on what’s been happening in [...]

About 4 years ago at one of the Anderida Gorsedd open rituals at the Long Man of Wilmington I was approached by a young man called Eurik from the Czech Republic who asked if I was Damh the Bard. I nodded and he took me by the hand, shaking it vigorously and exclaiming that “your [...]

Last weekend me and Cerri went to the Mercian Gathering near Coventry. I had a gig on the Friday night, and Cerri had the opportunity to have a stall outside our tent where she could sell some of her artwork. Last year I had strained my back so barely made it up there to play [...]

Last weekend me and Cerri travelled to Glasgow to play a concert at Pagancon. It was my first concert in Scotland for 6 years and one I was really looking forward to. The last time I played there Pagancon was called Druidcon and was a Druid-specific conference, but to help broaden its appeal they changed [...]
