Just confirmed an evening with Rivelin folk club in Sheffield, for April 18th. I like the new premises in the large concert front lounge at the Nether End Bowling Club. Got Dave Bowie Jr with me that night on double bass too, so it's a good chance to see us together in South Yorkshire. Not sure when we'll be there again in the near future. Just been 'chatting' online with James Blatchley, host of the Chorley Folk show on Chorley fm radio. It's a while since I was there and we've just arranged a date in June for me to go back and play a few songs in the studio, and have a chat live "on air" with him. He made me very welcome last time and we had a few laughs (gosh! it's almost a year since...) This time I'll be taking Dave Bowie Jr with me (and his double bass of course.) Looking forward to it. If you want to find me on Facebook, it's http://www.facebook.com/ . You'll need to sign up to them, then find me on the site and send a friend request. I'll probably reply and accept your request (unless you're a nutter..) You can then join one of my regional info groups soon and start receiving news about my shows straight into your email inbox. E-technology! It's marvellous. This evening I've set up an open Facebook group called 'Yorkshire and Humberside/Philip Cockerham info' which is intended to make it easier to invite my Facebook 'friends' to my gigs. As I get to grips with this type of stuff more I'll make it more regional, e.g. so that I'm not inviting people from Canada to a gig in northern England! If you want to join the group, you'll need to be a Facebook member and then either send me a friend request or find and click, to join the group as named above. You'll then get your own personal notification of my events and news etc. through your own Facebook page. It might make things all a bit easier. We played last night at Lewins in Halifax. It was great to have Dave there again on double bass. We haven't played together for over a month, but it didn't take long to get back into the groove. I enjoyed it. Also on the bill were Tony Levy, who always gets the crowd laughing and sets a great tone for the evening, and the unique and wonderful Lisa Marie Glover. Thanks to everyone who came, also to Jonathan for running the PA and to Mork for setting up the gig. Lewins Bar, 22-26 Bull Green, Halifax HX1 5AB on Thursday, where I'm on with Tony Levy and Lisa Marie Glover. That'll be fun. They're both great! Hoping to warm up my tonsils elsewhere as well this week but I'm not sure where yet. I'll probably tell you all afterwards! (heh-heh)Happy New Year! Peace to y'all x I'll be announcing some dates for 2012 soon (there are some nice gigs coming up next year, clubs and festivals included) but for now I'm going to take some time up to Christmas to have a break. I'm back in the studio, recording some new music for another film. I'll also be popping into a few clubs to say hello, but I won't be out as much as last year, when I was out every every night in December promoting the charity single. That was gruelling with the winter we had last year but it was worth it for the response I got from everyone and the support we were able to give to Help for Heroes. Keep watching this space and I'll tell you more soon. the Kala Sangam, St Peter's House, 1 Forster Square, Bradford BD1 4TY. Visit:A very enjoyable first visit by Dave and me to Mansfield Folk Club, as featured guests. This is a great club, well run and well attended and a great venue. Thanks to all who came and joined in so enthusiastically. Hopefully, we'll see you all again in early 2013! I'll be there before then to do a few numbers before the brilliant Elbow Jane, on Monday 2nd April. Might see you then... It was a nice evening at St Paul's in Bradford, where some of us gathered for the East Africa famine appeal fundraiser, with a small but generous audience who sang along and made a great contribution to the night. It was great to see a few old friends and some new faces too.Tonight it's a return to Crookes folk club in Sheffield, for me and Dave. It's always nice there. The music starts some time after 8.30 pm.Today, I've got up and decided to appreciated what I have got and get on with it. I was asked a couple of months ago to make an appearance in Bradford at the East Africa famine appeal fundraiser they're holding. So I'll be doing a few songs tonight at St Paul's Church, junction of Church Lane/Skinner Lane, Manningham, Bradford BD8 7PH. I keep seeing images on the telly which make me shudder, of starving people who look so ill and desperate for help they will certainly benefit from your donation. If you do come, please have one drink less and give the money for that drink to the appeal. If you can spare more, that would be great. Thanks y'all. The evening begins at 8.00 pm It was an enjoyable return visit to Morley Folk Club last night. The turn out was good and everyone was in fine voice. Thanks to all who came. The club's regular floor singers and the other visiting performers, including Martin Francis and Pam and Pete of Keystone Acoustic, all contributed to what was a lovely evening.Thanks to Stanley Accrington for introducing us so generously.There are 12 tracks and it'll be available from 19th August. You'll be able to get it at gigs for £5 but as yet there is no 'buy-on-line' mechanism set up, so unless you email me and make an arrangement that's the only way to get it. If you do get in touch, it'll be £7.99 by post (incl postage/packaging, the same as the first CD.) Here are a few samples: Janglebuddy samples > click here http://www.otleyfolkfestival.com/Got a few nights off from gigging now. Off to party tonight with my mate Tony Levy, for his birthday. Happy Birthday buddy! Started to fill in dates for next southern tour, next year. It went so well last week and I've a few nights over September 2012 already planned. Don't worry though, I'm not abandoning the north! Got some Lancashire dates in June already booked and of course my old home turf of Yorkshire will continue to be my regular haunt. Love to y'all. Princess Royal folk club at Crookes tonight (Friday), for a songwriters' special with Ray Hearne and Bay Whittaker. Looking forward to that. Jenny and Simon (Strid) get married today! Congratulations to you both. (about bloomin' time, I say.. heh-heh) Warwick folk club gave me a good welcome last night and they all sang with me with good heart. Met Sean Cannon (of "The Dubliners") there and his son Bob. He's a nice guy. Softly spoken, and with a fine sense of humour. I used to do "The Rocky Road to Dublin" a few years ago and I enjoyed singing it with him last night. Thursday of this week finds me at the Topic folk club, with my mate Dave Bowie, who'll be accompanying me on double bass. Come along and see us if you can. It'll be a good night. Finally, many grateful thanks for those good people who have provided me with a bed for the night to enable my first trip to the south to be viable, especially Jane and Chris, Joshua Dunne, Moya and David, Lobby and Jeany, and Jack Robinson. Love to y'all x There may be a few periods of "radio silence" over the next couple of weeks, as I embark on my tour of the south of England. I've got some nice gigs coming up which you can see at the top of this page and I'll try to keep up to date and post comments on my Facebook page. Today I'm off to Cleckheaton. There'll be stuff going on all over, and I'm in the George between 4.00-6.00 pm for a short set. It's free in for this event. Last year was cram packed, but it's a good little venue. Come along and give us a shout. Well, today's an important day on the streets. All over the country, hundreds of thousands of people will be taking action to protest against the drastic cuts being made by the government and the ones which are further proposed. In Leeds, there is a march and a rally in City Square. After the speakers, I've been asked to finish off and do a couple of songs to hearten the crowd and keep the spirit. If you pay all year for a holiday hamper, you expect a holiday hamper at the end, not a rude gesture whilst you watch a greedy man eat turkey. Come and join us today brothers and sisters for Leeds Day of Action, Leeds City Square, about 12.00 mid-day. You don't have to be on strike to be there, just concerned for your children, your parents and each other. Cheers An unusual one this... I've has been asked to perform a couple of songs to finish off the rally in Leeds City Square, being held to protest about the forthcoming pension changes being proposed by the current government. I'm not sure if you have to be on strike to attend, but what the heck! It's still a free country... Come and sing brothers and sisters, at about 12.00 mid-day in Leeds City Square. Played at Rivelin folk last night. The new location is nice, lots of space and a friendly barman. Thanks Ian, for a slightly longer set. I'm at Crooke's tonight playing for South Yorkshire Pete. He keeps trying to sell CDs for me that aren't out yet! (laughs) On the acoustic double bass tonight will be Dave Bowie Jr. It's almost twice as good when he's with me... (more laughs) Just been interviewed in Dan Wagstaffe's Blog Spot. Have a look if you've time to hear me rambling. Here's the link: http://danwagstaffespeaksup.blogspot.com/2011/06/q-folk-musician-philip-cockerham.html The new album is coming along nicely. Just had my old mate Tim Caesar in on piano for a track or two. That was good. And we've a few special voices to add soon. I'm off now to pump up my tyres. Got a gig tonight. I've also just published the cover for my new CD album "Janglebuddy" (to find it, go back to the start page then click "on CD".) There's a whole bunch of new songs on it, some I've been performing recently and some brand new. It's got a some wonderful guests appearing on it too (more to say about this later.) The cover artwork and the sleeve design is by a brilliant young artist called Ruth Switalski from Glasgow School of Art. http://ruthswitalski.tumblr.com/ I'm so grateful to her for her patience and skills. "Janglebuddy" will be available around mid-August. I've just updated the gig list for July and posted the dates at the top of this page. Have a browse just in case you're in the area. It's Kent first, then East Sussex, Wiltshire, Devon, finishing that run in Warwickshire. Then back to Yorkshire for the Topic Folk Club on 21st July.Just confirmed a night as guest at the Beacon Folk Club in Kent. Apparently, Rab Noakes has pulled out for some reason (hope he's ok) and I'm stepping in. Rab would have filled the place, but we'll probably be rattling around in there. We'll just have to move close and it'll be a great night. Got a couple of floor spots planned ahead of that in Kent and East Sussex, but I'll mention those later. I've had a few nice nights out lately. Went to Mansfield Brown Cow folk club last night and heard Bob Harley. (No, not Bob Marley, though I did look twice.) Great voice. And what a turn out! Who said folk music wasn't healthy and flourishing? Well it is Nottinghamshire. I'll be there in November and I'm looking forward to it. Everyone was very nice to me tonight. Hope you all come back in November. Heard Andrew Gold died yesterday. I'm very sad. He was a mate of Peter and Jane Asher, I think. And he wrote some good songs. Songs of my youth, I remember him well. RIP Andrew. Peace to y'all. Actually, it was a great night at Boons. Finola O'Driscol started the night with her beautiful voice, Gloria Jeffries was brilliant and the Troubadors were their usual exciting selves. I remain a novelty for some people and I am wondering how to surpass my behaviour for future gigs. Maybe crowd surfing..? But I'd probably miss the crowd and just break my teeth... 10th April 2011 It was a nice, barmy night at the Abbey Inn. I seemed to play for a long time and enjoyed every minute. The strangest thing was the cheers and responses from unseen audience members in the other room, who joined in singing, clapping and laughing (at the right times) and I never even clapped eyes on them. They probably think I am young and handsome because that's what I told them. "Distance Entertainment" is a new concept for me. We'll have to see how that one goes... Thanks to everyone. 9th April 2011 We had a great night at Gainsborough Folk Club last night. A lovely, warm crowd who made us feel very welcome. They joined in singing with everything and even helped me when I forgot the words! Thanks to everyone who came. There were a good few people who had never been to a folk club before, as well. They all seemed to enjoyed it and I hope they feel they would do it again.... Tonight, it's the Abbey Inn in Leeds. It's always nice to play there. They've a festival there too, in July. I'll be there at some point. 5th April 2011 Forgive the radio silence over the last couple of weeks. I've had a strange time with lots going on. Had a nasty car crash a couple of weeks ago - not my fault and thankfully nobody had long term injuries, but these things tend to hijack your life for a while with all the fuss and sorting out that has to be done. With a bit of careful juggling, I managed to fulfil all my commitments and I've not had to cancel anything, so it's all ok in the end. Friday's gig in Gainsborough is still on and I'm looking forward to it. There was a question over the venue as I heard they'd had a burst water pipe, but apparently it's fixed and we're good to go ahead. I received a cheque from Charlie Barker last week for some sales of the charity Christmas CD we did, and so the total can now be updated to £433.27. I'll be sending the additional money to the charity Help for Heroes this week. Thanks Charlie! My own CD is coming along nicely and it shouldn't be too long now before its release. 12th March 2011 Went to Enoch's Hammer Folk Club last night. What a great crowd! And well done to Mark and Fiona for building up such a thriving club. I've been a couple of times before, but last night was the best so far. The room was packed and when we started to pound the beat, I thought we might be too much for the floor or ceiling below! No worries though, we all survived smiling. I met Jon Harvison there last night; we're doing a gig together at the Topic in July (see dates list) so it was nice to put a face with a name. 11th March 2011 I'm sorry to say that my forthcoming gig at the King's Arms in Heaton, in June, has been cancelled. It's a sign of the times, I think. People have little spare money and the place has not been getting enough folk in to support live music. I'm a bit disappointed as my last gig there saw quite a good crowd, but I understand that some of the other evenings have not been as successful and have had very small audiences. I guess the management there have had to make a decision regarding the direction of their business and so they've simplified the whole thing by cutting live music. Good luck for the future to Andy and the team. Hang in there folks, it's a great place and it deserves to survive. On a brighter note, I visited the Black Swan Folk Club in York last night. I always enjoy going there and I had a lovely greeting from the regulars and a warm response from the audience when I played, many of whom had not seen me before. Thank you to everyone who was there, I hope you find your way to see me again somewhere. 8th March 2011 I've posted a couple more gigs on the dates list and there are some more to confirm soon. I'm keeping the list to just ones for this year at the moment, otherwise it gets a bit silly. But I'll also still keep turning up places unannounced. That's part of the fun. I find somewhere new and often have a great night discovering brilliant musicians and audiences. And sometimes they book me too...... :-) 2nd March 2011 Enjoyed my visit to the Chorley Folk show, where I was welcomed by James Blatchley high up in Radio House. We played three songs from CD and I did four live. Chatted and laughed for an hour or so on air and had a cup of tea. Thanks for all the emailed in comments and texts. 1st March 2011 Had a pretty good week, travelling around visiting clubs and doing a bit of singing. The gigs are creeping in for later in the year and there are last minute events coming up soon. Keep watching the gig list! Tonight I'm visiting Chorley FM in Lancashire to perform a few songs live, play some from CD and to chat with James Blatchley, the host of "Chorley Folk". I'm on between 8 pm - 9 pm and you can find us on 102.8 FM or live online at http://new.chorley.fm/ Unfortunately, I don't think there is a "listen again" facility on this station (although I might be wrong...) so it'll probably only be "as it happens". Somebody tells me I've had an entry in Wikipedia. Not seen it yet, but I'm going to have a look. Hope it's true what they say about me! 22nd February 2011 We enjoyed our night at Skipton Folk Club last night. It's a great place for enthusiastic participation. People really sing with heart and it was nice. We had a warm welcome. It's the first time I've visited the Narrowboat Inn recently when it's not snowed (and I was keeping a weather eye out just in case!) It's a great club and I always wish someone else was driving, since there are so many GREAT BEERS! Next time maybe...... 20th February 2011 I'm working on the next album today. I've got more songs than I can fit on it so it's going to be choosing time soon. The last one had 15 tracks and each one was a case where somebody had said, "Oh no... you can't leave that one out.." I think this CD might end up like that, a huge collection of stuff. Anyway, I'm gigging some of the songs and have been for a little while. (That's how I'm hoping I'll know which ones to pick.) Come down to Skipton Folk Club tomorrow evening if you can and help me choose. I'll be playing stuff old and new and accompanying me on the acoustic double bass will be the wonderful Dave Bowie Jr. I hope to see you there. 16th February 2011 Enjoyed last night's gig in Bradford, at the King's Arms. Responsive crowd and a great atmosphere. I'll be coming back here. 15th February 2011 Just had a great rehearsal with Dave Bowie Jr on double bass. Just checking the gig list, he's doing quite a few of them with me in the next few weeks, when we go out as a duo. Fantastic! Also, I'm glad to see that Tom Bliss has found his new lease of life and is back out playing again. We dragged him out a few times last summer after his "retirement" and we changed his mind. I think he likes music again now, after all. Good luck to him. 14th February 2011 Enjoyed listening to my old friend Duncan McFarlane and Anne Brivonese, the guests on Durbervilles last night. Brilliant and beautiful. Thanks to Dunc for the mention of our charity CDs. As he says, more of these CDs can be made available if people want them. All further takings for this will be collected and sent in time to Help for Heroes, a worthwhile cause. Happy 1st birthday to Morley Folk Club this week, on Wednesday actually. Guests for the night are my friends Jenny and Simon, together known as Strid. Hope it's a good night. Unfortunately, I can't be there as I've got my own gig in Bradford that night, but knock yourselves out everyone. Best Wishes for the next year and beyond. 10th February 2011 I was asked to do the feature slot at Fleetwood folk club last night, as the guest couldn't do it. Nice bunch of people there. There was a guy called Mike who had an Indian harmonium, like mine. It fitted in great with the resident players and had a lovely sound. Looking forward to my next visit there. 9th February 2011 I've just posted the receipt from Help for Heroes on this website. Click here > You may remember, we raised £411.27 with the sale of 300 copies of a 3 track single "Hard World - songs for peace", which featured appearances from my friends: Dave Bowie Jr, Charlie Barker, Tom Bliss, Duncan McFarlane and Jo Lewis. Thank you so much to everyone who supported this fund-raising project and bought the CD. The intention was also to raise awareness of the situation many injured ex-service men and women face after they have served. Understanding and support for their injuries (whether mental or physical) is often insufficient and these folks are sometime left to flounder. The money raised certainly does not go to help anyone fight and it is not there to support conflict nor to encourage war. Indeed, I am against the very nature of war, but I am realistic enough to know that any civilised society needs those who are prepared to keep it safe and we will always need peace-keeping troops. And when governments change and the blame is shrugged off and passed on, the young men and women who simply follow instructions are still there to pick up the pieces, often to their own cost. It's a complicated issue and I've had many conversations with people who are trying to make their own sense of it. But I know why I made the effort to help and I'm glad I did. Peace to you all... 4th February 2011 It was a nice night at Chorlton Folk Club last night - full house and a lovely atmosphere. Dave and I were made very welcome at the club and it was a very enjoyable evening. There were some good floor singers and local duo, Tom and Lucy, were great. We'll be back there again before too long, I'm sure and I'll look forward to it. 3rd February 2011 I'm sorry to announce that the gig at Dearne Valley Folk, to be held on 12th March, will no longer take place. The gig has been cancelled, due to difficulties in maintaining the folk club's viability. Dearne Valley Folk club will no longer continue to run after Feb 2011. Good luck to the organisers, Charlie and John in the future and with all their other projects. However, I am happy to say that tonight's gig at Chorlton Folk Club will take place as planned. Hope to see a good crowd for a great night. 1st February 2011 Hey, it's good to be getting out and about on nice, dry nights. Spring round the corner and new gigs coming in... I'll be confirming a few more things for the summer soon, so keep watching the news and events page. Called in at Bacup Folk Club last night and did a few numbers to a lovely crowd. Enjoyed the main guests too, "Motor Pike and Side Carp". Nice atmosphere there... Hope to see a few people at Chorlton on Thursday. It'll be a good one. 30th January 2011 I am once again delighted to announce that I will be accompanied at a number of my forthcoming gigs by the wonderful Dave Bowie Jr. on double bass - bowed, plucked and slapped as he feels fit. The first of these is on this Thursday 3rd Feb at Chorlton Folk Club in south west Manchester. Admission is just £2 (or maybe £3... I'm not sure) and we will perform a 45 minute set, followed by local duo Tom Allias and Lucy. Later this month, on 21st Feb, Dave will be performing with me again at Skipton Folk Club, North Yorkshire. 12 January 2011 Jut been "talking" with Dan Wagstaffe (Writer and Director of "Bang Up or Pay Back") about making another short film with him. I'll tell you more later ..... but here's a link to his blog spot: http://danwagstaffespeaksup.blogspot.com/2011/01/thanks-to-yorkshire-folk-musician.html 10th January 2011 Had an enjoyable session with the Durbervilles on radio Leeds last night. I played 3 songs, including this one, my contemporary version of the "Cockade". I've written some new words and I call it "The New Beret". I always feel a bit sad when I sing it. But it's from the heart.... listen to > " The New Beret" The other two songs I did on the show were "I Wish I'd Met Somebody" and "100 New year Promises". You can catch the whole show for a week or so on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p001d7kk until they stop streaming it. I'm also very pleased to say that all 300 copies of the charity CD single/e.p. "Hard World - songs for peace" were sold across clubs and pubs in northern England during Christmas and New Year. Each copy cost £2 and all performers gave their time and skills free. After costs charged for duplication, the sum of £411.27 was raised for the servicemen and women's charity ,"Help for Heroes". A cheque will be forwarded to them shortly. I would like to thank everyone who bought a copy and helped, especially those who contributed more than the asking price! There are some very generous people.... Peace to you all. 5th January 2011 Happy New Year to everyone! After a timely break of a few days, I'm stepping out into the light again. Played at the Grant Arms Hotel last night with a guy called Phil Middleton and his partner Gaynor. Enjoyed them, two good singers. The money is still trickling in for the charity single "Hard World" which occupied most of December's attention and triggered some interesting conversations. I'm glad I did it. I sang for peace and raised money for "Help for Heroes." I don't find a conflict between helping wounded soldiers and advocating for peace. Maybe one day there won't be any wounded and they can assist in disaster relief or something. Anyway, awareness and a will to help is maybe a first step. People's response was great and we sold hundreds of CDs. And the feeling when a crowd of folk are singing "All Pull Together" is something I can't explain, magic...... Tune in on Sunday 8.00-9.00 pm to the Durbervilles on 92.4 fm, 93.5 or online at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p001d7kk/ and I'll see you there for a few songs.

I've had a brilliant start to my full-time musical career. Thanks to each and everybody who's encouraged me with a shout or cheer, those who've deliberately come to see me play in the most surprising locations (!) and those who have just found me by accident but then keep coming. Then there are those who have come over and bought a CD, so that they can keep listening. Thank you all! Hope to see you all again soon. Watch the News and Events page for where I'm booked - the list keeps growing. But there's a chance I could just turn up anywhere, I'm often out and about, my range is extending and I'm finding more and more places where you enter through a small door to find another world......
