Stuart's Coming Home

Stuart's move from Hertfordshire to Gloucestershire has meant his regulars don't get as much chance to see him as before. He returned home in July playing both the Hitchin "Rythem Of The World" and Letchworth Garden City Festivals. Taking on the acoustic stages at both venues he got a great reception from his home crowd. Already talking about next year so keep an eye on the gigs page.
