STEVE JINSKI

Yes the nights are beginning to draw in and it is a little colder but do not despair ... we have some gigs!! Steve heads off to Wales and the south of England with six dates this coming October. The first one is actually in the north ...The Topic Folk Club in Bradford. Then it's down to Bath (St James Wine Vaults) before two gigs in South Wales (The Phyllis Maud in Newport & Down By Here in Swansea). Then it's Grayshott Folk Club in Surrey (opening for John Blek) and finally a return visit to The Man Of Kent in Rochester. We hope to see you somewhere along the way. For more information go to The GIGS PAGE

We are very pleased to announce that Steve will be playing a gig in Birkenhead on the banks of the River Mersey on Saturday 13th February 2027. The venue is the Indigo Cafe Bar and more details including tickets, start times, etc will appear very shortly on the GIGS PAGE. It's an intimate small venue with a growing reputation. We hear the food is good too, so come extra early and sample the delights on the menu.

A first time visit to Craignish Village Hall in Ardfern, Argyll went very well. An appreciative and listening audience. I was able to road test a new song, which I described as a 'work in progress'. Sometimes you have to put them out there to get any real sense if they will work. Huge thanks to Matt for looking after us and helping with the 'load out' at the end of the night ...always the hardest part!

Cheers,

Steve

It was nice to make a welcome return to Fornighty Hall in Nairn last week as part of a short trip up to Scotland. I was really pleased to have some old friends drop by, great to see Gay and Spike again, it's been a little while. Thanks to Ali for hosting the event and thanks to all those who came. As somebody on the night said, 'haste ye back' .... I certainly will.

Cheers,

Steve

What a great gig it was at Dry Water Arts Centre in Amble, Northumberland, last Friday night. Three songwriters from New York, Ireland and north east England sharing songs, stories and jokes! Huge thanks to Paula and Frances for inviting us to perform, I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a pleasure to share the stage with Vincent Cross and Tom Portman and hopefully we will get the opportunity to do it all again in the not too distant future.

A special thank you to the audience who listened, laughed, asked questions and even sang along! Simply marvellous!

Cheers,

Steve

I am really looking forward to some great gigs in the next couple of weeks. First off will be a return visit to Dry Water Arts in Northumberland as part of the Songwriters In the Round event on Friday July 10th. I will be catching up with my old pal Vincent Cross and meeting Tom Portman for the first time. We will be swapping songs, stories and discussing the constant quest for a strong lyric and a great melody!

A few days after that I am off up to Scotland for a couple of Village Hall gigs. The first will be a return to Fornighty Village Hall in Lethen, Nairn on Friday July 17th, followed by a first visit to Craignish Village Hall in Ardfern, Argyll on Saturday July 18th.

As well as playing some old favourites and my recent single 'Rollercoaster' I also hope to be showcasing at least one new song from a clutch of songs I have been working on recently. I'm at that point with a couple of them where I am thinking ... 'is that it or can I make it a little better?''. Always a tough one!

I hope to see you at one of the shows and please come and say hello. For more details visit the GIGS PAGE

Cheers

Steve
