Attention Bootcamp Recruits! Name-badge shirts are go! You can get it with your own name, they don't all say Jon, that would be silly. I'm terrible at remembering names, so I'm hoping this will help at camp. Ok, errrr... now drop and give me twenty arpeggios (Shirt are for Bootcampers only, sorry)

As a timeline cleanse, check out this clip of an absolute master making a mockery of your favourite guitar player. He's a genuine maestro, saw him live last year and it was a genuine privilege. Go watch/listen to his stuff, it's beautiful

I'll be demoing the sumptuous noises only my Ibanez JGM can make at some free-entry UK clinics next month. Info at jon gomm dot com. My favourite questions from the clinics in Europe in November: (thread)

This is my favourite bit of the song: The major to minor key change, the cascading harmonics, it feels like making trails with sparklers in the dark Check You're Still Breathing, recorded with the PowerTap Earth Pro from Fishman, no other mics or sources.

I can't believe I have a signature pickup system now and I can't believe that after 25 years of filling guitars with pickups, wires, batteries and preamps, this one system does... everything. Hit jongomm dot com to learn about the new PowerTap Earth Pro from @fishmanmusic.bsky.social

Something terrible happened in Nantes. I was pretty burnt that day & didn't realise my guitar wasn't on its (very old & worn) strap properly, & it fell. And hit the polished concrete floor. With a sickening crack. Why do I feel so... GUILTY? Somehow it still sounds/plays amazing. But yeah. :(

I’ve seen @jongomm.bsky.social gig 3 times at different locations and it’s been mindblowingly exquisite as a musical and emotional experience. I’m definitely planning to go to one of these tour dates. If you haven’t seen #JonGomm gig yet I really recommend you do! Absolutely incredible! 🎶👌🏻 #music

I remember that gig, it was wonderful, but really tough cos I played the full album through, but it's such a legendary venue I felt pretty honoured to even be there.

Jon Gomm following me is the height of emotional gratitude. Passionflower pulled me through some deep feels many years ago giving me hope about that crack in the pavement to this very day. 🌱

People asking to open shows on the UK tour: 1) Thanks! 2) I haven't decided yet but if I do have openers they will deffo be local/local-ish artists each night & I might throw it open so people can apply. London & Manchester are double-header shows with @therealmckee.bsky.social so no openers there.

It's so hard to create a night like this. Booking musicians is easy, we'll say yes to basically anything. But organising everything and getting the word out to people is arduous, stress-inducing work. Huge thanks to the Delmenhorst crew, you are heroes. Malmö SE tomorrow night.

Thanks Bordeaux! I think we learned a lot about each other. On to Nantes FR tonight, then Delmenhorst DE, then Malmö SE, then I think I might go home if that's ok?
