'Greg Blake', writes John Lawless on Bluegrass Today, 'has certainly got to be in the running for busiest man in bluegrass for 2022.' Greg and his Kansas City band Hometown have just released their recording of the John Starling song 'Gardens and memories', which can be heard on Bluegrass Today and on YouTube.

The photo above shows Hometown - (l-r) Brian McCarty, Greg, Todd Davis, and Grant Cochran. We expect to see Greg (who has toured Ireland several times as solo artist, bandleader, and guitarist/ lead singer with Jeff Scroggins & Colorado) back here in four months' time with the Special Consensus.

Update 20 Sept.: Turnberry Records have just released Greg Blake's latest single, 'From me to we'. On the Turnberry press release Greg explains how he came to write this song about 'the importance of relationships and how precious, yet fragile, they can be'.
