EVENT POSTPONEMENT: Regretably my Troubadour Journey concert at Blanchland Abbey this Friday (19th June) has been postponed by mutual agreement with the venue owing to low advance ticket sales. I really hate cancelling concerts but sadly it’s just not economical to go ahead at this stage and I’m truly sorry not to be bringing the new songs to this beautiful place that I passed through on my musical pilgrimage last year. My sincere apologies to those who had already bought tickets - Blanchland Abbey Project will be in touch directly about refunds. We are looking at a provisional rearranged date of Saturday 10th October and I hope you’ll be able to join me then instead. I’ll keep you posted about the new details in due course.

My gigs at Wooler (Thurs 18th June) and Lanchester (20th June) still very much going ahead and it will be great to see you there 🙏

New album review: “The story and the drama that goes with this release from singer-songwriter Gareth Davies-Jones is as interesting as the music itself.” Delighted with this review of “A Troubadour Journey: Lindisfarne to Durham” from Andrew Short of AmericanaUK

Blanchland Abbey Churchyard looks beautiful with all the blossom and wildflowers - but we could do with a few kind hands to help keep it this way.

Join our friendly team on Saturday 16th May 10am - noon.

However long you can spare would be great (please bring gardening tools and gloves if you can).
