UK Tour - November 2011

Chatting in-studio with David Parsley of TotnesFM (www.totnesfm.co.uk) for two-hour "Influences" show featuring my choice of influential tracks plus a few songs performed live in studio. That's Simon Hallett of TotnesFM beside me. Totnes, 1 November 2011.
Sarah gets a bit distracted by the solar panels being unloaded outside while performing live in-studio for TotnesFM (www.totnesfm.co.uk) for two-hour "Influences" show. That's Simon Hallett of TotnesFM listening in. Totnes, 1 November 2011.
Dinner with the wonderful and ever hospitable Pete Coleman and Clare Hines, Stroud, 1 November 2011. Pete appears to be wearing oven gloves on his head, but we'll let that pass.
Martin shares an emotional moment with Satchmo the cat. At Pete and Clare's house, Stroud, 1 November 2011.
Pete shows off the Halloween mask in which he answered the door to unsuspecting trick-or-treaters the previous night (while being entreated by Clare to please refrain from eating any more children). Stroud, 1 November 2011.
Another treat: leftover Halloween sweets! These eyeballs were particularly tasty. At Pete and Clare's house, Stroud, 1 November 2011.

Thanks so much to Denis Wane for this photo of the inimitable Babs and Gordon playing support to me at the Gregson Lane Folk Club, Hoghton, 3 November 2011. Their rendition of "Don't Fear The Reaper" was astonishing.

Yep, it's a Ducati. In Blue Walnut Cafe proprietor Gary Whyte's garage, Torquay, 5 November 2011.
Martin admires Gary Whyte's classic Morris Traveller as Gary looks on. Sadly, Gary sold the car the following morning, so we won't be seeing it again! Torquay, 5 November 2011.

Happily, our second visit during this tour to the wonderfully hospitable home of Clare Hines and Pete Coleman coincided with their purchase of a bottle of bubbly to celebrate Pete's latest publishing deal! Stroud, 7 November 2011.
And when we'd finished the bubbly, we went on to the Chardonnay … At Pete and Clare's house, Stroud, 7 November 2011.
