2010 band news.
20.Jan.2010 13:54
Last week I went to LA to rehearse with a new band line up for my 2010 World Tour.
I am thrilled to introduce the mighty Narada Michael Walden on drums.
The astonishing Rhonda Smith on bass and with Jason Rebello on keyboards the sound is electrifying.
2010 looks set to be a good year and I can’t wait to get on the road.
Although the jetlag sucks!

After a crazy year I am taking this time to thank you all for your support. It has been insane and I have loved every minute. Bring on next year which will be just as mad I hope.
Happy New Year to you all

I am thrilled to have been nominated for a Grammy for 'A Day in the Life', Best Rock Instrumental Performance. Its good to know my music is appreciated. This Rocks
On a more serious note, I am a patron to the charity Folly Wildlife Rescue. They are half way through the planning process for their application to build a new animal hospital. They need as much support as possible in the hope that it will help them receive the planning permission they need so desperately.
Please email a letter of support to: planning@wealden.gov.uk quoting this: Application No:WD/2009/2228
There is a deadline of two and a half weeks to send the e-mail. They can read about the proposed animal hospital on the link below:
Link: www.follywildliferescue.org.uk
Supporters should state why they think Folly Wildlife rescue should be granted full permission to build the animal hospital.
Thanks and see you at the Grammys

Rock and Roll life.

I have just had a complete whirlwind few weeks.
Over 2 weeks ago I was in the studio putting together my album and planning to go to New York to guest with Stevie Wonder and Eric Clapton at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Celebrations……….
Then we got the call a few days before we were due to go to NY that Eric was ill and had to pull out of the show and would I be able to fill his slot in the show. Of course I wanted to be asked, and we had less than 3 days to put the band, crew, travel etc together. As well as set list, guest artists and rehearsal. But we did it.
Playing ‘Superstition’ with Stevie Wonder on the 1st night surprised everyone. It was a great thrill to play this track with him at Madison Square Garden.
On the 2nd night my band and I took the stage for our set. We were joined by Sting who sang ‘People Get Ready’. The crowd went wild and Sting gave a faultless performance. Buddy Guy came out to play ‘Let Me Love You’. What an honour to play with one of my heroes. I was so overwhelmed that I fell to my knees at the end of the number. The last guest to join us on stage was my friend Mr Billy Gibbons who flew in from London for 1 night. We rocked out to ‘Rough Boy’ and ‘Foxy Lady’ and the crowd seemed to love it as much as we did.
Thanks to the crew and Vinnie, Jason and Tal for all their hard work in pulling off an amazing job at the last minute.
Before the jet lag hit I was asked to attend The Classic Rock Awards on Monday night to present the Classis Song Writer award to Paul Rodgers. It was a complete honour and Paul thoroughly deserved to win.
Back in the studio for me.

Wow what a night!!! What a thrill for me to play with The Imelda May Band on stage at IndigO2 on Monday and do something completely different for all of you. To top it off my great mates Jimmy Page and Ronnie Wood turned up although they declined my offer to join me on stage.
Back to the studio for me.

How do you like that? I have been asked to perform at a charity concert down in ITALY, at the Viareggio Stadium on the 19th August, to help raise money for the the families of the victims of a disastrous gas explosion in a train station, in Viareggio at the end of June. So off I go.

A night at The Albert.........
06.Jul.2009 15:57
On Saturday night I ended my UK tour by playing at The Royal Albert Hall. What an honour!
Opening the show for me was the fantastic Imelda May and her band.
The crowd were amazing and I loved every minute of it. Joining me on stage for Jerusalem at the encore was the fantastic David Gilmour. What a privilege to play with a master of the guitar.
Im off to Canada to play at some Festivals then I hit Europe.
