After an incredible first year as a trio, our 2nd major UK tour will be in March 2027. From ‘The Song Goes On’ to now ‘Who Writes The Story’, we have moved on ….

It feels great to be coming back to Austria on our first big European tour with the Trio. I have “mountains of memories” from my tours with Oysterband. I have missed it.

It is over a year now since Oysterband finished in Germany with a big and emotional tour and now we are ready to return.

New album - Who Writes The Story

Upcoming tours - Germany, Austria, Italy in 2026, Denmark, UK in 2027

The summer of 2026 saw John, Ray and Al return to the Sidmouth and Wickham festivals but this time as a trio. John writes …

The first post-tour news is that we have decided this show needs an album. It’s a great collection of songs and we are loving playing them … and they continue to develop.

This has been a great first tour of UK and another stage in what I hope is a long musical journey….

Today we release our first song to all the major music streaming channels. It is ’She Wrote Her Name Today’ ….

Back home after our first tour in Denmark. Now looking forward …

Our first tour as a trio with eight shows in Denmark. Great to connect with fans and play our music live.

We have toured DK many times over the years and enjoyed the warmth and friendship there. It is great to be starting our first ever tour as a trio there.

Here are the first three songs of many that Al, Ray and I have been working on. We are really looking forward to playing them live. 

It’s that time of year again. However you celebrate your Christmas, I wish you a good one…..

JJ says “What great news. We are so pleased to be starting our festival life  as a trio at Wickham, a festival that holds many special memories for us.”

We all live in different places, indeed different countries, so I devised a way to collaborate that works for all of us ….

I’ve been a permanent member of Oysterband for 12 years but my first gig with them was 32 years ago when I was asked …

Hanging out with JJ at a festival last year he told me the startling news that Oysters were finishing as a touring band …

As Oysterband comes to a close, I knew it couldn’t be the end for me. I love singing and performing  so much ….
