Here’s the very first song from the very first gig of my on-going house concert world tour which ‘glamorously’ started in Randalstown, Co. Antrim here in Northern Ireland. The 2009 leg went from there to the US (Ohio, Pennsylvania, California & Washington) and then back to NI (Bangor, Kilkeel, Coleraine & Comber).

The house concert tour has been a most excellent adventure. To simply hit the road with a ‘have-guitar-will-travel’ sense of not knowing what’s around the next corner, who you’re going to meet, where you’re going to stay has been invigorating.

Every single gig that I did was arranged by folks who I had never met outside of cyberspace – yet they were willing to put together an event invite their friends and see where it goes.

If you’re wondering what a house concert is, it’s quite simply a live music performance in your home. You invite your friends and acquaintances over for a live show. Each of your friends donates a few bucks/pounds/euros (depends where you are) for the privilege. You then get live music in your home.

Your friends get a unique, personalized, relaxed environment to experience great music.

This year’s tour will head to the South of Ireland, back to the US and possibly Australia.
