I was worried the 2nd UK Acoustic Bootcamp couldn't live up to last year, but it was even better. The returning campers felt immediately at home, so we could be a welcoming committee for new recruits. After the year I've had, I left bootcamp feeling rejuvenated and reconnected. Bring on next year!

Another unvarnished home practice video. I wrote Waterfall at my friend Amrit's mum's house. I noticed a picture on her wall, a goddess playing a sitar-like instrument at the bottom of a waterfall. I learned it was Saraswati, and wrote this song for her. The lyrics are an instructional manual

I'd never usually post this, but as I'm still out of action (for another month or so)... I found some rehearsal videos I made to review where I was at after a break. So they're a a bit rough, but real. I'll post some more if people seem able to tolerate the jagged edges

Folks, buy tickets. If you've never heard @jongomm playing his acoustic guitar then go and seek him out. He's undoubtedly one of the best. He's recovering from a recent accident where he broke his elbow. Artists like Jon should be cherished and helped. So go and buy raffle tix!!

People have been asking for a way to help while I'm recovering from my elbow break. But I don't like the idea of taking money for nothing in return So I'm running a raffle! 1st prize... a unique prototype Ibanez JGM10 guitar in a custom Passionflower Hiscox case Raffle tix at jongomm dot com

My last gig ended with a snapped elbow. Now I'm deep into rehab, and this tour is the distant light I'm fighting towards every day. And dreaming about. TBH I won't care if I'm the only person in the venue. But if you'd like to be there for my unleashing, that would lovely too

Surgery went well. The end of my humerus is now screwed back into place. Photo from before the anaesthetic was fully worn off, with nurse/literal-angel Sheryl Pain will wear off soon, then BRING ON THE PHYSIO. Gonna keep posting updates, the support from everyone is keeping the darkness at bay

Shchedryk merch has landed! Before it became Carol Of The Bells, the original lyrics were about the first swallow of spring arriving back in Ukraine. I imagined it flying in a storm. To me the music & image are about resilience in the face of brutality. Get a shirt/art print at jongomm dot com

The intense bridge from Shchedryk. This section is my own addition to the Ukrainian original. I hope it's in keeping. It's cathartic to play, like screaming at the sky. Full vid, stream links, guitar tab/lesson & merch at jongomm dot com

My new single is out one week today, Monday Dec 1st - my interpretation of the Ukrainian classic Shchedryk, aka Carol Of The Bells. You can pre-save the song at jongomm.com/shchedryk I've poured everything into the arrangement, production, video, the artwork, to try to do justice to this music.

Nostalgia-fest: The first time this team made videos together was for Passionflower and Ain't Nobody, 14 (F-O-U-R-T-E-E-N) years ago. Filming something together again felt totally surreal and totally natural and the same time. 🤍
