80s Weekender, Butlins, January 17th 2026

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2026.

2026 looks to be an exciting and busy time with touring, firstly with Jason Donovan in Feb/ March on the Doin’ Fine Encore tour, then with the brand new Jane McDonald album and arena tour in Aug/ Sep, concluding with another Jane Cruise in October! Lots to look forward too.

My first gig of ‘26 was this past weekend with Jason at the 80s weekender, pictured above, and we have a further 80s show at Butlins in Minehead on January 31st. They are always good, fun shows with large audiences.

Prior to that, on Friday 30th January, I will be taking part in a live interview event in Birmingham with my good friend and Jane/ Jason drummer, Jamie Little, so please join us if you are interested in hearing us chat about music careers, our advice and tales from the road. The event will also be streamed live. See below for further information and ticketing.

Dates below for the Jason Donovan 20026 Tour, tickets from his website.

There are several summer festival appearances planned with Jason too, more on those closer to the time, but I’ll mention a brilliant festival I’ll be playing with Jane McDonald - The Mighty Hoopla in Brockwell Park, London on May 31st. The festival is headlined by Lily Allen and Scissor Sisters respectively and it will be a big show, with Jane taking the Sunday afternoon Icon slot! A must for Jane fans.

That’s it for now, look forward to seeing you this year. Please follow my socials for more frequent updates.
