Hope you all had wonderful Easter holidays!
I just wanted to let you all know I have lots of cool radio and gig news for you this week. I'm buzzing, my fabulous producer Rebecca Maxted and I have just returned from a cold and snowy Chicago, it was an amazing trip. We met so many wonderful jazz and blues legends, recorded some brilliant stories and live music...I loved it.
Pictured above is a moment of madness when I got up on stage and did a blues poem with Carl Weathersby at Kingston Mines, a fantastic blues club in Chicago that is open until 4am. (note the time on the clock in this photo!) Thank you to all who took part in this programme, I hope more people discover the beautiful songs of Cornshucks after this....'Try a Little Tenderness - The Lost Legacy of Little Miss Cornshucks' will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4, May 13th at 11.30am
