My pre Victorious Festival warm up gig.

The first gig of The WindUp Merchant 's "World tour" taking in Chichester, Portsmouth and a little field,somewhere secret. Not forgetting Chichester a second time.

I'll be supporting Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. ,who is know to cuss in the odd song or two.

Come along, buy me a drink, perhaps one for yourself as you're at the bar.

Methinks it'll be a splendid night, what else is there to do on a Friday?

How many chumrades are coming?

Also, if you were worried, I think I've decided which hat, and possibly shoes.
It'll be alright on the night.....

Exactly a month to go until I head over to sunny CHICHESTER for my show at The Havana. It'd be splendid to see you there!

After the splendid The Reverend Mike Jackson's Sunday Service.

That's when you'll catch me spinning shellac 78s

Late enough to start drinking.
Early enough not to be drunk.

You know that feeling when you get home from work, and you realise, that there's a Lead Belly 78,and a Lonnie Johnson 78 that's been delivered.
And a really funky pair of Dr.Martens.

Happy Days!

The march of The WindUp Merchant to world domination.....
I'd like to thank my mum and dad and you, the fans, that have put their faith in me.
Many thanks to pompey_photo_bunny for putting up with the groupies, and the people hanging out around our house. Not to mention the fabulous photos X.
And special thanks to Jon Neil for the encouragement in the beginning.
To all those that danced along, and sang along in the 'field of dreams', you were my very first crowd. A feeling of joy, that will go with me to my grave.
I promise, I will stay grounded.
I will always be your WindUp Merchant.

There's a guerilla gig coming to Southsea on Saturday.

It's at the seafront, not on the beach.
It has a lovely scent.

Keep an eye out for more clues.

Come along, bring a picnic, bring a nice cold drink or two.
Wear a hat.
Come and say hi.

The WindUp Merchant.

A big thank you to the folks who popped over to say hello, have a chat, or even request some Abba😂 at Southsea Flea Market .
I hope you all found something to buy, from the different stalls, not to mention the vast amount of cakes on offer.

I'm spinning 78s at Southsea Flea Market, this coming Saturday.
Pop along.
Buy vintage,help save the planet.
Buy cake. Eat cake.

And, fingers crossed. It could be up there with Dylan in '65.
