Album of the Week
So the success of the latest album, "Bones," just goes on and on, already reaching nearly 20,000 plays on Spotify, from all around the world. Not only that, but the Whisky Rev Blues House on Speysound Radio made it album of the week. See what Drew has to say on Facebook's Neirin page. You can click on it below to see more.
Australia
No, despite all Drew's international travelling lately, he wasn't himself in Austriala, but his "Summertime Gave Me The Blues" got a spin on the "Blues on the Hill" show in Melbourne, Australia. You can listen through their Facebook page linked here. Drew's number is on just a little after 20 minutes in. The whole show is worth a listen!
New Orleans, New York, Lausanne and Lots More
Drew kicked off the New Year jamming in a place he'd always wanted to play: New Orleans. A big thanks to Cafe Negril on the world famous Frenchmen Street for such a warm welcome and the chance to share the stage with some wonderful blues musicians. Best quote of the night:
"Who knew that an English lad would know anything about the blues?"
A real treat for Drew, and another off the bucket list. Thanks to Cafe Negril for clips from the session, and to all the great musicians who made it such a wonderful night.
That night in New Orleans started 2026 the way that 2025 went. After two tours in Cornwall, and a visit to Paris early in the year, in September Drew and Marie were in The Big Apple once again, and of course that meant a slot in Manhattan.
Then in October there was a short tour in Scotland, with some great gigs in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and even a fun filled evening on the Isle of Skye, where Drew spent some of his childhood.
And then Drew and Marie took a road trip to Lausanne in Switzerland for a couple of gigs, doing some sightseeing, and even stopping for a bit of busking in Orleans, France, before some late in the year tours around Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Bones - The Final Album
The final part of the 2025 "Bones" project, where Drew has released stripped down versions of some of his songs, is now out on all major platforms. You can listen on Spotify by clicking on the image above, and check out all the options on Drew's Listen page. By the way, the version on Bandcamp has an extra track on it. Bandcamp is the best platform of all for artists, so why not try that, and get the extra track!
Green Park Brasserie
When Drew's not touring, he loves doing gigs in Bath, where he lives, and he plays regularly at the Green Park Brasserie, solo, or with Neirin. So the Daily Telegraph did a review of the best places to eat in Bath, and not only did they feature the Brasserie, but they cited the qualitify of the music as part of how good the place is. And guess who was playing the night it was reviewed?

A great big thanks to the packed, standing-room only crowd that come to the album launch, to all the band, to Lloyd Edwards working sound and Luke Fleming on video production, and the Saracens Head in Bath for providing such a great space. What a blast it was!

Back on the Radio
Though Drew had to give up his radio show through pressure of work, he's sort of back on the radio thanks to Spotify, which has created "Drew Neirin Radio." It's a selection of great songs from lots of artists based around Drew's own style. It includes, of course, a number from Drew himself. Definitely worth a listen, and you can do that by clicking on the image above.
And featured on the radio often.
