2018 All Wrapped Up

Jane McDonald. First Direct Arena, Leeds. 15th December 2018

Hi everyone,

As 2018 draws to a close, I reflect on what has been a really fantastic year working with Jane McDonald on two series of ‘Jane and Friends’, playing guitar on her hit album, ‘Cruising with Jane MCDonald’ and on her sold out ‘Celebrate 20’ tour all over the UK, culminating in a spectacular Xmas show at Leeds First Direct Arena for 5000 fans last week. This show was also filmed for future release. This, along with working with Jason Donovan and the Climax Blues Band, has made 2018 an eclectic, exciting mix - it’s been amazing.

2019 promises to be busy again, but more on that in my new year update as over Xmas there are two brand new episodes of ‘Jane and Friends’ being broadcast, one on 22nd Dec at 9pm on Channel 5 and a New Years Eve special also on 5, at 9pm running right through until midnight. Welcome in 2019 with us!

Finally, I’d like to thank all of the artists, musicians and crew I’ve worked with this year - it’s been a real privilege to be part of the team. Happy Xmas and have a great New Year!

See you in 2019. 🎸😀
