Now the first thing that I want to say is this. These Venues are listed in alphabetical order and this is done to avoid any suggestion of preference. Looking back, some of these clubs were better than some of the others, but that is not the purpose of this list.
What I am trying to do here is simply list all of the venues I have worked at. This is a work in progress and hopefully will not be completed for a long time.
Some of these were long appointments while some were maybe just one night, or as a guest appearance or as one-off All-Dayer venue.
This is where I need your help – If you know of any venues that I have missed then please let me know and further, if you have any photos of me at any venues I would love to have a copy for use on this page. I will give you a mention.
