<title><![CDATA[World Tour]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[																														&nbsp;I am very much looking forward to going on my first world tour with Ian Anderson, the front man of Jethro Tull (flute, vocals and guitars). The band will be the Jethro Tull band but with a different guitarist... Florian Opahle from Germany. Most of the songs will be from the Jethro Tull repertoire and one of the gigs will be with a full orchestra.&nbsp;I had a few Jethro Tull albums as a kid so be playing these songs with the band will be very exciting. The tour starts in September and finishes at the end of the year (2010) with the only UK date in Canterbury Cathedral. I hope some of you can make it! See GIG DIARY for details. &nbsp;JETHRO TULL WEBSITE   				 				 				 				 				 				]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Albums I've recently recorded]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[
I have just finished recording on Phil King's new album (his second) and this is now available. There are some great songs on this one which were great fun to play.&nbsp;I have also finished recording Tilted City's debut album which will be out in a few months. The singer/songwriter with this band is Nathan Daniel - details to follow. &nbsp;The latest album I have finished playing on is Ben Thomas's debut jazz album. Ben is a fantastic trumpeter based in Hereford. His album has a very fresh and original sound - not really pure jazz. It is quite a mellow and very interesting album. I'm excited about hearing the finished recording once it has been mastered.

Although luck is definitely involved, it's a very skilful and exciting game - and you have to watch out for the bluffers too!&nbsp;If you fancy joining in the fun you can learn the rules right here on this site.The most common poker game (yes, there's more than one) is No-Limit Texas Holdem.&nbsp;Click here for more info.
