In addition, Ken is a guitarist of the highest calibre, having worked with Al Stewart, Ashley Hutchings, the Albion Band, Pete Marsh, Loudon Wainwright III, Chris While and Julie Matthews, and perhaps most prominently, the legendary Steeleye Span. His music covers the spectrum from blues to rock, and effortlessly takes in folk, jazz, ragtime, ballads and more along the way. who is guaranteed to provide an evening of superb entertainment.

Ken has been played on the It's A Frog's Life Acoustic Podcast Show 88 - 3rd Anniversary part 2 - containing 12 more of my favourite tracks from the last 12 months of podcasting. Lots of music and little talking from me means I can fit in more great tunes from the past year. It's just a shame that so many other great songs had to miss the cut! ..

Follow the link above to this specific show or the link below to the general shownotes page. The show is free to listen to, and you can get it either by using the online player or by downloading the mp3 file. And why not subscribe and get each new episode automatically?

Hi Ken,
I really like your songs. Thank you for the add :)
Take a look at my video of The Writing on the Wall from my acoustic album, Beyond the Blues. Quote from the wall: ‘The wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly’.
Thanks again,

What an amazing Steeleye tour! Preston was the best we've ever seen/heard the band since we first saw them (back in 1976) - and that's really saying something!!!!

We've really enjoyed the tour diary on Folkcast, too.

Bye for now.

Best wishes

Ken - No. 5 has Major 7th dyads and a lot of lovely harmonic crunches. Structurally, it could be Prog (!) and the downward run derives from the theorbo piece (MirAre). The cipher has been decoded.
