RADIO AIRPLAY

'Chasing Dreams Down a Dirt Road' has been picking up quite a bit of airplay recently. I haven't been able to promote it as much as I would have liked due to an ongoing family crisis, but early feedback has been very encouraging.

It has been featured several times on the Iain Anderson Show on BBC Radio Scotland, which pleases me greatly as Iain is a well-respected, popular broadcaster, and his show has a wide listenership.

BBC Radio Ulster has also been very supportive and I've had airplay on the Late Show with Cherrie MacIlwaine ('beautiful musicianship throughout'), and the Saturday Late Show with Karen Kirby. Colm Sands also featured the album on his popular Folk Club show ('great songs, great sounds').

In England, I've been played on Genevieve Tudor's Sunday Folk Show on Radio Shropshire, and BBC Wales' Frank Hennessey included the album on his Celtic Heartbeat show.

Finally, for now (as I intend to update this blog when neccessary), I've been 'adopted' as an artist of the month by KHBW Country Radio, an internet station based in Norfolk. I always said I was a cowboy at heart!

All these shows can be heard on the internet, and are recommended if you like good folk/acoustic music. If you get a chance you could even email them to let them know you enjoy their choice of music (if you do!). I'm sure they'd be delighted to know they've got listeners all over the world!
