New Open Mic Venue !  

Hi all,

sorry for not updating more often..  we already well into March!! I am just getting over the shock of finishing my fabulous open mic nights at The Northern Way Preston due to a change in management.. not to worry, a lovely venue called Net's Bar in Gregson Lane just outside of Preston approached me to run a night on a Wednesday 8pm. The bar is slowly building its reputation as a great live music hub for the area and my new open mic night has got off to a great start! some amazing talent already have showed up to perform and the venue is always on the look out to book live music acts so come along and help us celebrate live music and try out those new tunes! Beginners welcome.. 

I have been gigging well known songs as The Time Tinkers check us out here https://www.facebook.com/thetimetinkers we are a recently formed duo formed with banjo player and guitarist Stuart Hartley we play lots of different genres and also quite a few of my own songs .. we do a very Spanish and authentic version of Last Train to Paradise and some new unreleased tunes where Stu plays the banjo. I have also been gigging as a duo called Feather with Katie Mac from Irish/Liverpool band The Jesse Janes, we gel very well in every way true soul sisters! Katie has written some fabulous guitar parts for a couple of my new tunes, try to catch us at one of our gigs. https://www.facebook.com/Soundoffeather

There have finally been some developments for the new EP release it will take a little time, raising funds to complete the project professionally has been the only obstacle as the songs are written and some recorded. Watch this space. If you wish to donate to help make the next CD happen you can go here paypal.me/jologriffiths or drop me a line sisterjolo.com@gmail.com  Many thanks  JLG xx

Well I finally went ahead and released my first tune of a forthcoming EP. Real Evolution Download Link

It's a positive feelgood song and my contribution to the announcement of the Great Awakening... yes folks I am coming out of the closet as a 'Truther' I love the truth. The reaction so far has been fantastic and fan Alison Lee Lee said "..really enjoyed listening to your track. Felt instant happiness and a real Aloha warm vibe."

Yes, we are on a sort of lockdown at the moment with this coronavirus pandemic, which has been devastating to many of us, no gigs means no regular income! So any support you can give in the form of sharing my website, video's and music, far and wide and of course downloading my music! you can also donate via paypal to jologriffiths@yahoo.com

I have started a new You Tube Channel and launched it with my new video for the new single I hope you enjoy it! It was filmed at 'The Fairy Glen' in Liverpool's beautiful Sefton Park and at the great live venue Studio 2, Parr St. Liverpool. Please click the link below.

Back in Liverpool 

Happy New Year!
After arriving back from Spain in October my feet have hardly touched the ground... I have been performing regularly at great bars and venues in Southport and making appearances at several open mic sessions in Liverpool. It has been 20 years since I played in my home city, its been fabulous! and I have been enjoying the hospitality of Johnny Sands at The Leaf in Bold Street a few times and at the Jacaranda with Tom Morecroft and the Cavern Pub with Paul Kappa!  
The New Year is bringing several developments for me: as well as performing regularly at the fabulous Birkers Bar & Grill, Birkdale, Southport UK, I will be running a brand new open mic/sessions evening there on a Monday, starting on the 30th January, running from 6.30pm, also I will be appearing at the ambient Eighty Eight Bar on Lord Street, and also once a month at a lovely place called The Harbour, Ainsdale. Plus featuring at the The Hideout Sessions, an new intimate gorgeous venue in Southport on a Wednesday. All details will be posted on my events page.
I have been busy writing and have two new songs to add to my forthcoming album... I may return to Menorca for the summer but for the moment I will stick around in Lively Liverpool... I have got some catching up to do!  <3 

 

More gigs on the beach! 

Well..the summer is speeding along in a frenzy! ;) I have again met some great, bold, lovely and mysterious people! and been able to perform my music, originals and covers to appreciative audiences on a paradise isle! The Pirate Bar on the beautiful Cala n Blanes beach has been my venue this year in Menorca, so happy about that!
With now a brand new song under my belt co-written with a good friend from Lanzarote and the prospect of possibly staying in Menorca for a little while longer...we shall see! I have made up my mind to continue with my mission to record the next album...
