So, how are you feeling today? Spring clean and ready to confront the world? Strident in the face of adversity? Ready for anything? Hopefully you got your hands on the free download of Joys of Spring we released through Bandcamp to mark the official opening of Spring. If not, do not despair, you can still get a hold of Obnox Stomp, and that will definately put a spring in your step! This “toe tapping barnstormer” (BBC Manchester) has become John Fairhurst’s signature tune in perfomances all over the world, and you can download it for free from the link on the right. Don’t forget to spread the word, just click “share” and choose an option.A great big thanks goes out to Paraffin City and Big Hands for the accompanying video, there’s more where that came from so stay tuned!

No doubt inspired by the constant rumbling in his belly caused by an unsatiable urge to perfect the blues, and the arid climate of his current home in Melbourne, John Fairhurst has recorded a new EP, shortly to be released on Debt Records. Just in case your belly’s a-rumbling already, here are a couple of morsels for you to wrap your chops around. Hungry Blues was recorded with the delectable Dexter and Alabaster dePlume, and Standing in the Rain was written and performed in collaboration with Dave Rybka. Yummy
