I love Flyinshoes - i'm passing the link on ... (i have a friend who may be interested in contributing)
I'm booking some dates in Scotland for next November, so maybe somewhere here would be interested in hosting a house concert for Tom and myself.
All the best for now

Padraic Conroy said… - Hello Rob
I come from a town called Athlone in Ireland and will send all contacts this link. I have been living here for the last couple of years on/off and played here a couple of times. I have done most of my playing in Ireland so dont have many music connections here. We will be moving to Los Angeles at the end of the month. When I am organised I hopefully will get to do some touring in Europe and maybe we will get to have tunes sometime.
Best wishes
Padraic

Emotionally I put myself on the line and musically tried to push the bound…
