March was a great month with regards to Radio exposure for Water & Light. Not only did Gareth feature as the Spotlight Artist on Aled Jones BBC Radio 2 Good Morning Sunday show at the start of the month but Bob Harris also played tracks from the album on his Saturday Night Show for two weeks running. BBC Scotland and Wales are continuing to play the album at regular intervals and some of the independent stations are picking up on the music as well. If your in the mood to help you can make requests for your favourite track by emailing the programmes from their respective websites. Gareth is currently on tour with solo dates in Scotland followed by some joint dates with Yvonne & David Lyon in Scotland and the North East of England.

Maverick, fROOTS & Twickenham

They just keep coming ! Gareth's new album "Water & Light" has just been given a fantastic 5 Star review in the March issue of Maverick Magazine and is also reviewed in the current edition of fROOTS Magazine. Maverick said “Some artists often sing in the name of one cause or another without conviction, but that is not the case here. The legacy of well-written, descriptive music laid down by Woody Guthrie, still lives on in the UK”. On the Live front Gareth has now reached the end of his FT Fortnight series gigs and the next gig will be as the headline act at Twickenham Folk Club on Sunday 5th April. You can get tickets from We Got Tickets. As ever you can get your copy of "Water & Light" from our Web Shop.
