News

Despite advertisements to the contrary,  and due to unavoidable circumstances, we regret to announce that CW Stoneking will NOT  be performing at  Pickathon Festival, Oregon or Green Man  Festival, Wales this coming August. We apologize for any disappointment this may cause.

Between spells recording the follow-up to Jungle Blues, CW and band will be making just a handful of public appearance this summer. The live page is where you need to go for info, and be sure to stay tuned for more news…

Due to a mix-up at the bottling factory our web monkey had listed the shows incorrectly for today and tomorrow in beautiful Italy.  The correct dates/cities/venues are:

Listen to CW solo perform solo at BBC Scotland, as part of Celtic Connections, here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01bbcdl

Notice for fans in Ireland, CW Stoneking & His Primitive Horn Orchestra will be performing on RTE’s Saturday Night Show tonight.

Please note that the Athens show has been moved to the venue Pass-Port : http://www.pass-port.gr/

Check the live page for the listings of the last shows of 2011, just announced.
These shows are also the final leg of the Jungle expedition, before CW & co embark on new peregrinations, so don’t miss this chance to get tropical, Stoneking-style.

Channel 4 last night released this footage. Early analysis suggests that it is not a hoax.

More Jungle Blues album reviews have been popping up. Here‘s a rather good one from the Flyinshoes Review website.

“If you want your mind lifting out of its usual ruts, then C.W.’s the man for you. It’s mad, but lovably mad.”

“gonna scare all the chickens out of the yard with this electric guitar”

Yes, C.W. has joined the Twitter community. Follow him here.

And whilst you’re over there, why not also follow King Hokum, C.W.’s record label, for the latest C.W. news updates.

Did you catch CW’s rather excellent session with Mark Lamarr? No? Must be that you were watching him over on Jools Holland on BBC2 instead. Well you can listen again, for the next seven days, just click on the link below.

We’re giving away a free download of the wonderful JUNGLE BLUES track, from the album of the same name. Just head on over to the Newsletter page, sign yourself up and the download link will be in your inbox in no time.

C.W. & his band performed Jungle Lullaby live on Later Live… With Jools Holland last night. It’s available to watch on the BBC iPlayer for the next week, just click on the image below.

Tune in to BBC Radio 2 from midnight on Friday 8th October to hear C.W. on Mark Lamarr’s “God’s Jukebox Sessions”.

If that’s too much of an unsociable hour for you, fear not, you can of course listen again on the BBC iPlayer, or head on over to the Mark Lamarr page to hear a bonus session track.

We recorded a session for BBC Radio 4′s Loose Ends last weekend. The show was broadcast on 28th August 2010 and can be replayed until this coming Saturday (4th September)
