Apparently I was motivated enough to write a Martin Carthy inspired arrangement of “Frosty the Snowman” this time last year! ⛄️🎅🏼❄️ youtu.be/CJ1XPwts6ys

Here's my tutorial for “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues” by the amazing Skip James. Skip James' guitar playing is often noted for its dark, minor-key sound, played in an open D-minor tuning with an intricate fingerpicking technique. youtu.be/mAJF-1RZ8a4

It’s today it’s today it’s today! So excited to share these songs and recordings with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you 💘💘💘 anaismitchell.lnk.to/Album

Super excited to announce I'll be going on tour with the awesomely talented @elizacarthy and #SaulRose in April. We've been playing music together in some shape or another off and on for about 10 years but this will be the first time we've hit the road as a trio!

I've just spent the last week in Covid isolation. I was pretty ill for a few days so I decided to cheer myself up by transcribing Joe Pass's brilliant arrangement of 'But Beautiful' from his 1963 album 'Catch Me!’. Full vid: youtu.be/zFzsjlp1gBA

I've been teaching 'Man of Constant Sorrow' on my folk guitar course Cecil Sharp House for EFDSS recently. If you fancy learning it then head over to my youtube channel. I've transcribed Norman Blake's beautiful arrangement. Free TAB! youtu.be/PT6OKCGZCAI

Dear people of England and Wales. Very excited to embark on a lengthy and meandering tour of our two great nations to support the release of my forthcoming album. London gig yet to be confirmed, but definitely happening. Hope to see you out on the road x

If you fancy a little trip down memory lane Dave’s compiled a playlist of Mawkin classics (that are available on Spotify at least) and all the music that inspired him in the early days. Great to get you going on a run / morning pick me up. open.spotify.com/playlist/0jPm5…

Hey Nic Jones fans! Just been reminded that I recorded this back in Lockdown 2020… it’s mostly Nic’s arrangement but I start messing with the harmony towards the end. Hope you like it Nic! youtu.be/LGkvCzX_lfw

**warning non guitar related content** Hey Guys, So I’ve decided this year I’m going to run the #londonmarathon and raise a stack of cash for the RNIB. Those of you who don’t know me will not know that my Dad lost his sight in 1991...

Getting excited about being on the road next week with @elizacarthy and Saul Rose! First date of the tour is Hellensmusic on the 16th April! Get your ticket here: hellensmanor.com/eventsem/conce…

Super excited about heading out on tour with @elizacarthy and Saul Rose tomorrow! PLEASE share the dates around - we've written an album especially for this tour. Live music needs you right now! Musicians need audiences. You are the 4th member of our band.

Folk fans! Please RT this as it’s a bloody long drive to Cornwall and we’d really love to fill the place up. @elizacarthy Saul Rose

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a YouTube video - I hope this one is worth the wait! In this guitar lesson I teach three essential country strumming patterns. 🎸👨🏻‍🏫 youtu.be/ytr2XtoKWFM

The reunion tour in 2022 meant such a lot to all of us after such a difficult time, and seemed to bring so much joy, that we thought we'd probably best do it again! 😊 2024 marks our 20th Anniversary. Come & celebrate with us in November next year! 🥳 Tickets on sale Friday 10am
