NEWS... The Jigantics latest single, Childish Things, is still available to listen and purchase here. Enjoy! Many new gigs in the pipeline for later this year so please keep an eye on the calendar. Blues in Britain magazine (issue 222) contains a two page interview that I had with journalist Shaun Freke. You can read the interview if you visit the Article gallery on my Gallery page. Blues in Britain is an excellent magazine so please consider subscribing if you love your Blues and Americana. Also, don't forget you can purchase my music - either on CD form or digitally from Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, etc. Every little helps!
